Image corruption and stability issues in Blender application.
* 1 Radeon HD 3850/3870 products do not have the DisplayPort output presented on FireGL V7700 product.Unified software solution for enterprise deployments built on stability and performance. The trend of soft-mods was continued with the 2007 series FireGL cards, as follows: Some variants can also be soft-modded to a FireStream stream processor.
All models implementing the Graphics Core Next microarchitecture support hardware features defined by the HSA Foundation and AMD has provided corresponding software.ĪMD DirectGMA is a feature usable with AMD FirePro products.īecause of the similarities between FireGL and Radeon cards, some users soft-mod their Radeon cards by using third-party software or automated scripts accompanied with a modified FireGL driver patch, to allow FireGL capabilities for their hardware, effectively getting a cheaper, equivalent, FireGL cards, often with better OpenGL capabilities, but usually half of the amount of video memory. HSA is intended to facilitate the programming for stream processing and/or GPGPU in combination with CPUs and DSPs.
The Radeon line of video cards, although present in hardware, did not offer any support for stream processing until the HD 4000 series where beta level OpenCL 1.0 support is offered, and the HD 5000 series and later, where full OpenCL 1.1 support is offered. Since the 2007 series, high-end and ultra-end FireGL/FirePro products (based on the R600 architecture) have officially implemented stream processing. However, some FirePro cards may have major feature differences to the equivalent Radeon card, such as ECC RAM and differing physical display outputs.
Because they use the same drivers (Catalyst) and are based on the same architectures and chipsets, the major differences are essentially limited to price and double-precision performance. Their Radeon counterparts are suited towards video games and other consumer applications. The FirePro line is designed for compute intensive, multimedia content creation (such as video editors), and mechanical engineering design software (such as CAD programs). The user-mode drivers as well as the kernel-mode drivers for AMD FirePro products have additional features, and also (not depicted here) additional interfaces. The new brand for servers is Radeon Instinct.įeatures Multi-monitor support In July 2016, AMD announced it would be replacing the FirePro brand with Radeon Pro for workstations. ĭeprecated brand names are ATI FireGL, ATI FirePro 3D, and AMD FireStream. The first FireGL board used the 3Dlabs GLINT 3D processor chip. The FireGL line was originally developed by the German company Spea Software AG until it was acquired by Diamond Multimedia in November 1995.

The release of the Radeon Pro Duo in April 2016 and the announcement of the Radeon Pro WX Series in July 2016 marked the succession of Radeon Pro as AMD's professional workstation graphics card solution. The product line is split into two categories: "W" workstation series focusing on workstation and primarily focusing on graphics and display, and "S" server series focused on virtualization and GPGPU/High-performance computing. the graphics card) differentiate substantially by the provided graphics device drivers and through the available professional support for the software. The GPU chips on FirePro-branded graphics cards are identical to the ones used on Radeon-branded graphics cards.
