Features Benefits
2nd Generation AMD Performs graphic and arithmetic instructions in parallel. Compared to the AMD FirePro W8000, it now
Graphics Core Next (GCN) features four times as many compute engines (eight instead of two ACEs), resulting in significantly more
GPU architecture computational performance.

Allow users to work at a whole new level of speed and responsiveness. With a 512-bit memory interface and
8 GB GDDR5 memory 320 GB/s of memory bandwidth, users can edit 4K video, layer in multiple effects and color correct on the fly,
or load massive assemblies and data sets and manipulate them in real time.

Error Correcting Code Helps ensure the accuracy of your computations by correcting any single or double bit error as a result of naturally
(ECC) memory occurring background radiation. ECC support enabled on the external GDDR5 memory only.

Combine up to four AMD FirePro W8100 workstation graphics cards in a single desktop system and leverage the
Multi-GPU support combined processing power for personal supercomputing or to work with multiple 4K video streams in real time, layer
in effects, make color corrections and edits on the fly.

4.2 TFLOPS of peak single- Helps speed up time required to complete single-precision operations used within Video Effects and Rendering, Signal
precision compute performance Processing, Transcoding and Digital Rendering applications where high performance takes precedence over accuracy.

Helps speed up time required to complete double-precision operations used within Computational Fluid Dynamics
2.1 TFLOPS of peak double-
(CFD), Structural Mechanics, Reservoir Simulation and Aerodynamics applications, where numerical precision is
precision compute performance
mission critical.

Unlike competing cards that are not optimized for double precision, the AMD FirePro W8100 offers the most double-
½ rate double precision
precision performance in its class, completing compute-intensive tasks faster than ever before.

Removes CPU bandwidth and latency bottlenecks, and optimizes communication between GPUs within a system
DirectGMA and SDI support and third party devices like SDI I/O cards. DirectGMA bypasses any need to traverse the host’s main memory, reducing
CPU utilization and avoid redundant transfers over PCIe®, resulting in high-throughput, low-latency data transfers.

Ensures accurate and consistent video synchronization to external sources or multiple GPUs in different systems
Framelock/Genlock
(requires ATI FirePro™ S400 synchronization module).

AMD Eyefinity Industry-leading multidisplay technology enabling highly immersive and unrivaled multitasking experience across up
multidisplay technology to four displays, powered by a single AMD FirePro™ W8100 graphics card.2

With four discrete DisplayPort 1.2 outputs and six display engines, the AMD FirePro W8100 can drive three 4K displays
Future-ready for 4K at 60 Hz and connects directly to four 4K displays at 30 Hz. With DisplayPort1.2 MST hubs, the AMD FirePro W8100
can even drive up to six 4K displays (at 30 Hz).2

3. Requires 4K displays and content; performance dependent on file size. AMD Eyefinity technology supports up to six DisplayPort™ monitors on an enabled graphics card. Supported display quantity,
type and resolution vary by model and board design; confirm specifications with manufacturer before purchase. To enable more than two displays, or multiple displays from a single output,
additional hardware such as DisplayPort-ready monitors or DisplayPort 1.2 MST-enabled hubs may be required. A maximum of two active adapters is recommended for consumer systems. See www.

4. "AMD HD3D is a technology designed to enable stereoscopic 3D support in software applications such as Computer Aided Design and Digital Content Creation. Additional hardware (e.g. 3D enabled
panels, 3D-enabled glasses/emitter, Blu-ray 3D drive) and/or software (e.g. Blu-ray 3D discs, 3D middleware, software applications) are required for the enablement of stereoscopic 3D. Not all
features may be supported on all components or systems - check with your component or system manufacturer for specific model capabilities and supported technologies."
