AMD has announced that its new Radeon PRO W7700 workstation graphics card is expected to be available beginning today, November 13, from leading etailers and retailers, with product availability in OEM workstations and SI systems also expected to begin later this month.
According a press release that AMD shared, this is the most powerful professional workstation graphics card that can be purchased under $1,000 in today’s market, offering an “ideal combination of reliability, stability, and extraordinary price/performance for content creation, CAD, and AI applications” for $999.
Here’s what AMD has to say about some of the Radeon PRO W7700’s features:
The 16GB of high-speed VRAM allows 3D artists and video editors to work with higher resolution models and textures and process intricate effects. It also enables data exchange between applications, allowing users to multitask between editing, compositing, and retouching to meet project deadlines.
In addition, with industry-leading support for DisplayPort 2.1, video editors will benefit from richer color spaces and the ability to leverage the highest display resolutions available today. The new graphics card also supports the latest codecs with AV1 encode/decode2 and AI-enhanced video encode capabilities for lightning-fast video encoding times that streamline and accelerate video production.
And here are some of AMD’s performance claims for its new workstation graphics card:
Built on the high-performance, energy-efficient AMD RDNA 3 architecture, the Radeon PRO W7700 workstation graphics card offers up to 1.7X better price/performance than the competitive offering.
The new graphics card also provides up to 52% higher performance in SOLIDWORKS, up to 24% higher performance in Creo and up to 37% higher performance in CATIA compared to competitor solutions, empowering architects to bring their visions of hotels, office buildings and other structures to life by enabling them to produce photorealistic renders and immersive walkthroughs. DisplayPort 2.1 and the AMD Radiance Display Engine technologies also offer stunning resolutions and vibrant color depth for viewing projects on up to four displays.
AI acceleration is also a highlight of the Radeon PRO W7700:
The Radeon PRO W7700 workstation graphics card enables professionals to build and run AI applications right from their desktops. Featuring hardware-based AI accelerators, the graphics card is designed to accelerate AI workloads in the latest applications, including DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere, Topaz Labs Video AI, and many others.
