BIOS: Technology Means Business

ATI’s Avivo technology powers a new family of high performance FireGL products for DCC, CAD and visualisation customers.

The company has announced a complete top-to-bottom line of next generation FireGL workstation graphics accelerators for professional users.

The new family of products range from an ultra high-end 1GB configuration to 128MB model, and are all based on ATI’s scalable, ultrathreaded architecture with Avivo video and display technology.

The next generation FireGL family includes the FireGL V3300 and FireGL V3400 for the entry-level segment, the FireGL V5200 targeting the mid-range, and the high-end FireGL V7200, complementing the ultra high-end FireGL V7300 and FireGL V7350 announced in March of this year.

Based on ATI’s Avivo technology, these accelerators incorporate a 10-bit display pipeline capable of rendering scenes with over a billion colours; high dynamic range (HDR) 16-bit per RGB component output for incredible image fidelity; and dual link outputs capable of driving ultra-high resolution cinema/widescreen monitors.

ATI’s next generation workstation graphics accelerators offer a wide range of memory configurations and processing power depending on the needs of the end-user. The new line of FireGL products also offer the widest cross-platform support, including the upcoming Windows Vista operating system, and is optimised for applications based on OpenGL 2.0 and DirectX 9.

ATI’s FireGL products are supported by a unified driver, which is tested and certified by professional 3D ISV partners, ensuring system compatibility and reliability, while simplifying system administration and reducing maintenance costs. All FireGL products come with a 3-year warranty and direct access to a dedicated workstation technical support team.

The FireGL V3300, FireGL V3400, FireGL V5200 and FireGL V7200 are shipping now from workstation system integrators including Alienware, Amax, Armari, Boxx, Cad2, Colfax, Monarch Computer Systems, Omnitech, Polywell, Safe Harbor, Systemax, Polywell, Velocity Micro, Voodoo PC, Xi Computer and 3dshop.com, as well as from distributors.
