Empowering Users with Features that Matter
The ATI FirePro™ V5700 graphics accelerator delivers the perfect
balance of price and application performance for CAD and DCC
professionals. With the new card, users will experience increased
performance for shader-intensive applications, up to two times more
than the previous generation.2 ATI FirePro V5700 also features 512MB of
frame buffer memory, dual link DVI and DisplayPort connections, and its
true 30-bit display engine produces more than one billion colors at any
given time−empowering designers to see more of their data.3 Unified
Video Decoder 2.0 provides full Blu-ray feature support including
dual-stream and picture in a picture (PIP) capabilities, and handles
decoding of various formats in the graphics processing unit (GPU),
which helps free up the CPU to handle other tasks.
The ATI FirePro V3700 establishes a new, low entry price for
professional 3D graphics. For CAD professionals migrating from 2D, the
ATI FirePro V3700 graphics card delivers the 3D performance and
application certification professionals deserve with an MSRP of $99.
The ATI FirePro V3700 graphics accelerator features 256 MB of frame
buffer memory, two dual-link DVI connectors and VGA mode support on all
display outlets.
"At Dell, we strive to provide design professionals with outstanding 3D
