28 nm GCN (Graphic Core Next) Architecture

The new 28nm GCN Architecture with more efficient process technology puts more transistors in less space, enabling a dramatic increase in processing power and graphics performance.

• Each compute unit can execute instructions from multiple kernels at once
• Design for high-utilization, high-throughput, and multi-tasking
• Dual geometry Engines for faster triangle (“primitive”) processing
• First GPU family to fully support OpenCL 1.2 and DirectX 11

AMD Eyefinity 2.0 Multi-Monitor Technology

The next generation of AMD Eyefinity multi-monitor control technology is here, featuring all-new support for stereo 3D, universal bezel compensation and brand new display configurations.

AMD Eyefinity 2.0 enables:

• Easy multi-display setup and customization
• Virtually unlimited number of display devices
• Stereo 3D-multi-display stereoscopic 3D support via DisplayPort 1.2
• 16K * 16K maximum display group resolution-output up to 268 megapixels per GPU

Full 30-bit Display Pipeline

With a full 30-bit display pipeline producing more than one billion colors (10-bit per RGB component). The AMD FirePro™ is ideally suited for applications that benefit from accurate color reproduction and superior visual quality.

AMD CrossFire™ Pro Multi-GPU Technology

AMD CrossFire™ Pro is a brand name for AMD FirePro™ Workstation Products' multi-GPU solution. The technology allows up to four graphics cards to be used in a single computer to improve graphics performance.

Framelock/Genlock Support

Genlock enables video and graphics feeds from various devices – such as cameras, recorders, mixers, keyers and more – to lock to an externally generated signal,helping avoid jumping, flicker or scan lines that commonly arise when switching video sources.
Framelock synchronizes display output and 3D rendering across multiple graphics cards resulting in a smooth output across multiple displays or video projectors to create a smooth virtual canvas.

* To activate Framelock/Genlock function, ATI FirePro™ S400 Synchronization Module is required.

GeometryBoost

A unique hardware-level function that automatically processes two 3D “primitives” (triangles) per GPU clock cycle. The result is incredibly fast geometry processing performance, ensuring smoother user interaction when working with complex 3D design projects and real-time visualization applications.

PowerTune

This state of the art power management technology provides direct control over GPU power usage. Applications enjoy ultimate performance with dynamic clock optimization, while minimizing workstation energy usage .

AMD Zerocore Power Technology

AMD ZeroCore Power Technology is the AMD exclusive innovation. Up to 95% idle power reduction by shutting down GPU.

Quad HD display support (4K Support)

4K (4096x2160pixel) support for ultra-high-resolution display devices and advanced configurations through DisplayPort 1.2 and AMD Catalyst Pro drivers ensures future-forward compatibility for advanced workflows.

Projector Overlap Support

Easily refine display alignment settings when configuring multiple, high resolution display devices or projectors.

Discrete Digital Multi-Point Audio(DDMA)

DisplayPort 1.2 simultanesously outputs multiple, independent audeo streams.

Bezel Compensation

Stretch display resolutions to prevent bezel interference and image distortion when displaying a single large image across multiple displays.

Partially Resident Texture (PRT)

Graphics memory behaves as a hardware-managed cache. Data can be streamed in on demand.

Video Codec Engine (VCE)

Powerful, “fixed-function” multi-stream hardware dramatically improves the performance of H.264 HD encoding for a range of applications and pipelines.

DirectGMA Support

Enables low latency, high-bandwidth peer-to-peer data transfers between devices on host systems’ PCI bus and AMD FirePro™ GPUs. Devices supporting DirectGMA can write directly into the local memory of FirePro GPUs -and vice versa. This functionality can dramatically reduce latency and host system “overhead” as needed for real-time broadcasting and other types of high-speed communications applications.

Error Correcting Code (ECC) Memory

Electrical or magnetic interference inside a computer system can cause a single bit of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) to spontaneously flip to the opposite state. It was initially thought that this was mainly due to alpha particles emitted by contaminants in chip packaging material, but research[1] has shown that the majority of one-off ("soft") errors in DRAM chips occur as a result of background radiation, chiefly neutrons from cosmic ray secondaries, which may change the contents of one or more memory cells or interfere with the circuitry used to read/write them.

HydraVision

D.O.P.P

Display Output Post Processing (or D.O.P.P) provides software applications with access to a FirePro GPU’s framebuffer before content reaches the card’s signal output stage. This functionality enables ISVs and OEMs with added flexibility and performance they can leverage to create new, exciting and innovative methods for creating and displaying visual content.

AutoDetect Technology

AMD FirePro™ products incorporate a unique AutoDetect technology. As users open new 3D applications, or move between them, optimized AMD FirePro™ graphics driver settings are automatically configured for maximum performance, no matter what the user’s workflow demands.
