Diamond to Launch VFX 2000 Card With 2GB of VRAM




Diamond is known in the video card making world as the guy who puts a lot of memory into their products. Diamond is continuing that legacy by developing the VFX 2000 card, which is the workstation version of the HD 2900XT. What makes this card so special is the raw amount of DDR4 onboard: 2GB. There is no word as to how much this card will cost, how fast the RAM and GPU run at, but we do know that we will find out within the next couple of weeks.

imagino o preço dela

se a HD2900XT de 1GB ddr4 custa 500€, akilo deve de custar aí 800€ nao?!

 

[maggot012]

fogo,que abuso 2gb!
nem quero saber o preço dakilo...provavelmente com o preço dela dava pa montar 1 pc bem bom....mas vamos esperar pela bomba!
so mesmo para os profissionais e designers e que server bem,po resto....

São placas para custar 2000-3000 €.

Trata-se da versão para workstations, as chamada FireGL. (A divisão da NVIDIA é a quadroFX), que embora utilizem PCB, o mesmo R600 e tal iguais, geralmente vem com o dobro de memória, super optimizadas para openGL e custam fortunas!

uau sao bem + caras do que o que eu pensava!

 

[Pedro.Malheiro]

por acaso ate faxia geito pa trabalhar com o studio max...

quem kixer oferecer uma a mim k diga

 

[exxtreme]

Sao placas profissionais que não trazem grandes vantagens quando usadas no nosso dia a dia.
São placas para suportar grandes processamentos 3D, como por exemplo o desenvolvimento de jogos.

 

[Bodygard]

Ainda há relativamente pouco tempo, vocês todos diziam que gráficas com 128MB e 256MB era 5* e era muita RAM e tal, agora já andam quase todos com placas de 512MB e 768MB e vêm dizer que 2GB é um abuso?

Olha, um big daddy sem "capacete"

FireGL mod for Radeon HD 2900XT

Workstation graphics on the cheap

A Chinese website has posted a modded version of AMD's drivers that will turn an ATI Radeon HD 2900XT into a FireGL V8600.

This might not be all that useful to most owners of a Radeon 2900XT, but if you're into OpenGL 3D rendering and need a fast card for the previews, then a Radeon HD 2900XT will be a lot cheaper than a FireGL V8600 card.

Considering that the FireGL V8600 will set you back US$1899, while you can pick up a 1GB Radeon HD 2900XT for as little as US$499.99, you can save quite a bit of money this way.

You can download the modded drivers here and it's about a 70MB download.

AMD FIREGL V5600 Review

The new AMD FireGL V5600 professional graphics card. Nearly Four weeks ago on launch day we showed what AMD’s new entry level professional graphics card the FireGL V3600 could really achieve. The new FireGL V5600 has most certainly shifted the series of card up a tremendous gear, for an entry level mid range card it has the magical bang for buck.

One important point of note. No additional power connector is needed to supply the graphics card as it can safely run from a system that only has a 350 Watt PSU; which is going to be a huge benefit to those wishing to upgrade their graphic cards and not have to worry about additional costs of a new power supply. The FireGL cooler fitted was quiet and acoustics were not an issue at all whilst underload throughout the tests. Normally this is a point were one would here some serious noise kicking into play from either the system fans or the GPU cooler. Not so as we stated earlier - nice and quiet. With continuing support for both Direct X 10 and OpenGL 2.1 will mean no reduction upon the CPU performance which is evident from the Cinebench Scores returned.

In all the years of reviewing professional cards we have not seen such a performance uptake from entry level to mid range. The drivers we have seen and tested; kudos to the some 150 members of the driver team. And what is the next driver release going to be capable of – one will be completely surprised at what it is going to bring. Astounding performance uptakes.





One of the most interesting points of the new SPECviewperf® 10.0 benchmark is the huge amounts of information it produces. The logs hold bountiful amounts of precise but critical information that show just how the graphics card and complete system I/O performs. It may take considerable amounts of time to complete, though the wait for the true professional is well worth it as we have now seen on the last 2 outings of SPECviewperf® 10.0 in its fullest.

The performance of the FireGL V5600 has been remarkably astonishing to say the least for a 128 bit controller! Returning results which are found in the competitions High-End professional cards, in some areas their Ultra High-End Cards!

xelente performance para uma grafica com 128bit


BTW: O MOD da para as Hd2600 e para as HD2900

Nvidia Quadro 6800Ultra VS HD2900XT @ FireGL MOD

I tried this mod driver with Radeon 2900XT 512MB on P5W-DH + [email protected].
I've also checked Quadrized 6800Ultra.

SPECveiwperf10.0 results...Left: 6800U-Quadro, Right: 2900XT-FireGL

3dsmax-04: 35.71 / 45.30
catia-02: 46.78 / 42.35
ensight-03: 22.56 / 48.89
maya-02: 86.57 / 209.72
proe-04: 34.28 / 20.78
sw-01: 47.25 / 91.75
tcvis-01: 8.43 / 30.66
ugnx-01: 10.62 / 27.88

6800U-Quadro

2900XT-FireGL

And SPECapc for Pro/E Wildfire2.0:

6800U-Quadro

2900XT-FireGL

I'm using Pro/E(3D-CAD) for daily work, so I feel a little sad with these results,
but I think R600 series have potential...
...I hope that AMD driver team will make further improvements

Workstation-Shootout: ATi FireGL V7600 vs. Nvidia Quadro FX 4600

ATI's FireGL V7600 is entering the market with very aggressive pricing, aiming to sell its card at $1000 (before taxes). Although the pricing for Europe had not been finalized at press time, that would translate to roughly €850 including tax (at the current exchange rate). And therein lies Nvidia's problem - the V7600 displayed very good performance potential in all synthetic Viewperf benchmarks in our tests. In Maya 6.5, Nvidia is left in the dust, while the competitors are tied for the lead in 3D Studio Max. The only benchmark that ATI has to concede to Nvidia is Solidworks, and in our opinion, that will change once ATI's drivers mature some more.

As a result of its very good value for the money, ATI's FireGL V7600 gets our editors choice recommendation. The R600 chip with shader model 4.0 brings a performance leap to the workstation arena. Meanwhile, the Nvidia's G80-based chips also have a lot to offer. However, Nvidia should reconsider its pricing strategy - only then will the company become competitive again.
