When the AMD Evergreen series of GPUs was released back in September of 2009, we knew that an update to the professional graphics lineup from AMD wasn’t going to be far behind. We reviewed the first of the new cards in April as the FirePro V8800 and it was quickly followed by the V5800 and V3800 and then the V7800 and V4800. There was still one card missing from the family that we learned about in our initial briefings: the leader of the group, the V9800.

The FirePro V9800 and the V8800 share a lot of features and most of the primary performance options though the V9800 has some key items that differentiate it from the rest of the FirePro line. First, this card has a total of 4GB of frame buffer, double that of the FirePro V8800 and allowing the GPU to handle much larger data sets for higher quality rendering at higher resolutions. The GPU under the hood is still a 1600 shader processor Cypress core that supports DX11, OGL 4.0 and Shader Model 5.0 DirectCompute.

The second key product feature on the V9800 is the set of six mini DisplayPort outputs.
