ATI unwrapped its latest pair of workstation-oriented graphics chips – including what it claims is the first ever board to support one gigabyte of graphics memory. The FireGL parts are also the first products of their class from ATI to support Shader Model 3.0. The 1GB FireGL V7350 is accompanied by the V7300, a 512MB version.

The GPUs are fabbed at 90nm and derive from ATI’s Radeon X1000 series. As such they incorporate its Avivo image enhancement pipeline, including support for 40-bit and 64-bit RGB colour, and the latest Radeons’ 512-bit ring memory bus architecture.

    Dont know if this is useful at this point in time. 1GB is a but much for 3D work.
    Besides atleast back in the day Nvidias Quddros had better performance for the workstation graphics industry(a bit more expensive though).

    if you think a 1 gig graphics card is too much you need to get off the everquest online and try playing DOOM 3 quake 4 F.E.A.R etc. with a lesser card when you have character maps alone that are 2048×2048 pixels and terrain which is a gigapixel yeah it is called for.

    it has been too long coming.
