Maximum PC: What do you get when you pile on heaps of GDDR5 memory to a slab of silicon rocking a fast GPU? You end up with AMD's FirePro W9100, a monster graphics card featuring an industry-first 16GB of GDDR5 onboard memory. According to AMD, the FirePro W9100 spits out up to 2.62 TFLOPS of double precision GPU compute performance, up to 5.24 TFLOPS of peak single precision GPU compute performance, and is prepped and primed for getting work done on 4K ultra high resolution workstations.
The Virtual Reality World Congress (VRWC) 2016 has kicked off today in Bristol, UK with a keynote note speech from AMD’s Roy Taylor. During which he has revealed that the company is working its own virtual reality (VR) head-mounted display (HMD) alongside other VR-centric technology. One of which is a new upgraded graphics card for its professional users.
I'm hearing some really good things about what the W9100 can do alongside VR. It will certainly be intresting when AMD (thorough Taylor, I would assume) full reveals the card.
16-GB that would be nice
33% more expensive than the Titan Z for a card that is less than half as powerful. Cute.
