Although fairly insignificant for gamers, AMD has recently announced five new FireGL models, which represent the company's workstation-class graphics cards. This new line ranges from the FireGL V3600 to the V8650, with memory sizes from 256MB to 2GB.

Let’s see what they had to say:

“At SIGGRAPH 2007 today, AMD announced five new high-performance ATI FireGL™ workstation graphics accelerators for CAD, DCC and medical imaging professionals. The ATI FireGL V8650, FireGL V8600, FireGL V7600, FireGL V5600, and FireGL V3600 graphics boards are based on the next-generation ATI graphics processing unit (GPU) with an innovative unified shader architecture featuring up to 320 individual stream processing units. These new boards deliver acceleration of DirectX® 10- and OpenGL 2.1-based professional applications resulting in increased performance of more than 300% as compared to the previous generation of product. “


It’s been a while since ATI has released a new FireGL workstation graphics card, so I’m sure animators and 3D CAD designers will be pleased with this announcement.
