The ATI FireGL graphics cards have been a staple of the
workstation graphics scene for about a decade, but last year AMD made
the decision to end the FireGL series and create the FirePro 3D series
in its place. The FirePro 3D series is now made up of graphics cards
ranging in price from under $100 USD and built using their RV730 GPU to
their highest-end models costing well over $1,000 and using the RV770XT
graphics processor. The ATI RV770XT is what is used by the
consumer-grade Radeon HD 4870, which was greeted by same-day Linux
support and other firsts for their Linux Catalyst driver like OverDrive,
RandR 1.2 support, and CrossFire. The support for the new FirePro
graphics cards is also first-rate under Linux with their Catalyst
driver, but how is their performance? In this article we are examining
the ATI FirePro V8700 1GB workstation graphics card under Linux.
