AMD/ATI is fighting back against the current hold NVidia has on the high-end workstation market in their Quadro line by issuing their new ‘FirePro 3D’ line. Expreview got their hands on the FirePro V8700 and V3700 and benchmarked it against the current high-end NVidia Quadro cards, with impressive results.
We’re really impressed with the outstanding performance delivered by ATI FirePro V8700, which outperformed Quadro FX 3800 by a large margin. Even if Quadro FX 4800 steps up, we don’t think the situation would change much. But as we see, the catch is the high power consumption.
ATI FirePro V3700 also performed great enough to fight against Quadro FX 370 which is more expensive. Its greatest highlight is the affordable price.
