AMD has revealed the AMD FirePro W9100 32GB, the first workstations graphics card with 32GB memory support for creative applications, the company states. AMD also launched the AMD FireRender plug-in for Autodesk 3ds Max.

The W9100 graphics card offers a 512-bit memory interface, 4K display resolution and up to 2.62 TFLOPS double precision performance. It supports OpenCL, DirectX and OpenGL formats and is PCIe compliant.

“The imagination of the creator is limitless so much so that the professional creator consumes all available resources to produce new and never before seen designs and experiences. Some professional creative workflows demand very high bandwidth memory subsystems while others demand high memory size. AMD pioneered the era of High Bandwidth and Ultra Efficient Memory through the introduction of HBM technology in 2015 and will bring it to content creators with the introduction of Radeon Pro Duo graphics. With the new AMD FirePro W9100 32GB, AMD is unleashing the world’s largest memory size professional workstation graphics card,” said Raja Koduri, senior vice president and chief architect, Radeon Technologies Group (RTG), AMD. “Along with exceptional hardware, AMD is also delivering software tools to leverage our high bandwidth and large memory GPU configurations effectively.”
