ATI FireGL V7200 graphics card

It is ideal for high-end workstation tasks featuring complex large models with very high polygon counts, working in real-time with multiple lighting and shading effects, or challenging high resolution visualizations, such as outputting to a large LCD or plasma display. It is also HD Component Video output-enabled.

The FireGL V7200 has a 512-bit Ring Bus memory controller and a Ring Bus data path. This bus is composed of two 256-bit internal rings each running in opposite directions. Two key features help cut memory latency and make the most of the high-speed GDDR3 memory - data only has to travel a maximum distance of half the ring before reaching its destination and the topology allows data, once requested, to travel around the ring without having to go back through the memory controller. It also features programmable intelligent arbitration logic that allows the memory controller to dynamically prioritize and route requests based on the current execution profile.

The graphics card comes equipped with ATI Avivo™ Technology, with a High Dynamic Range (HDR) 64-bit per pixel display capability. It can produce over one trillion colors for vibrant visual fidelity and enables rich real-time lighting and contrast effects with suitable application support.
