Cheap graphics card for workstations is definitely not designed for gaming environments. Instead, they cope well with a lot of common professional goals. Following the recent release in the sale of a new FirePro V3900 from AMD, we had the opportunity to find out what card is capable of such a class, and how it shows itself from the competition.
FirePro V3900 is sold for about $ 110, it's pretty low price compared to other graphics solutions for workstations. According to AMD, card competes with nVidia Quadro 400 for a similar price. In addition to these two models, we also decided to test the Quadro 600, Radeon HD 6570 , GeForce GT 430, GeForce GT 440 and the new Radeon HD 7750 . It is clear that these cards are not rivals FirePro V3900 in the professional sphere. But we are wondering how they will cope, given the similar characteristics.
The old things in new guise
Video card FirePro V3900 runs on GPU Turks and quite similar to the Radeon HD 6570 . In the previous model - FirePro V4900 - we used a more sophisticated GPU Turks and easiest way to compare it with the Radeon HD 6670 . According to the plans of AMD, Turks will be used until 2015, and this is the most important reason to consider the position FirePro V3900 .
We certainly know that the GPU Turks - a descendant of the chip Barts, which operated the video card series Radeon HD 6800, and which, in turn, are descendants of the GPU Cypress, those used in older cards the Radeon HD 5800. In GPU Turks found only six engines SIMD, each of which consists of sixteen streaming processors. Each stream processor uses the five arithmetic-logic unit (ALU). In the SIMD unit has four texture units. In general, Turks chip uses 24 texture units and 480 ALU. DRAM is working through the memory interface 64-bit, 128-bit bus. In addition, to provide eight full-color rendering blocks ROP.
