ATI Fire GL V5100

ATI Fire GL V5100 ... architected to deliver unprecedented speed and image quality for real-time visualization. True cinematic quality rendering of complex geometry is now available for compelling animation, visual effects, mechanical design and leading edge business communication.

The bridgeless, single-chip design of the FireGL native PCI Express graphics processor fully engages all of the benefits of this interconnect standard in the safest, most cost-effective, and most reliable transition from AGP. Unlike other 'bridged' PCI Express implementations, ATI's FireGL PCI Express products deliver full bandwidth in both upstream and downstream directions, doubling the capabilities of previous products.

ATI's FireGL cards - whether PCI Express x16 lane or AGP 8X - are designed to accelerate 3D workstation applications based on OpenGL and Microsoft DirectX 9.0. With full certification on the leading computer aided design (CAD), architecture/engineering/construction (AEC) and digital content creation (DCC) applications, FireGL is the high performance choice for graphics professionals working in Windows or Linux based systems.
