Great Price Enough RAM for AutoCAD

Solid video card for professionals. Support for up to 2 Displays | Display Port or DVI | 2G DDR3 | 4K | 3D: Certified for many CAD/CAE applications, this high resolution video card is a great choice. Support for 4k resolutions up to 4096 x 2160 when using DisplayPort v1.2 monitors and cables. DISPLAY CAPABILITIES DisplayPort: 2x Full Sized DisplayPort v1.2a Max DisplayPort 1.2a Resolution: 4096 x 2160 Max DisplayPort 1.1 Resolution: 2560 x 1600 Max DVI (with DP to DVI adapters): 1920 x 1200 To obtain the max resolutions above, monitors must also support that resolution. 1 x DisplayPort to DVI (passive) adapter cable included for connecting one DVI monitor. Note this card is also certified for many CAD applications. NTI

For those that use computers for Digital Media creation this is a good solid card. Only the Quadro and FirePro models from AMD & NVidia respectively providing the 10-bit color workflow that quadruples the color space and tonality required for accurate gradation. As other reviewers here have noted this card is a slightly better performer than the current generation of iGFX integrated video cards on the Ivy Bridge, Haswell and Skylake platforms which support up to three displays (but not 10-bit workflows). I notice LightRoom, PhotoShop and Premiere CC were all subjectively more "snappy" after replacing a FirePro 2270 with this card. This card features 4 mini Display Port 1.2a interfaces capable of driving 4 4K displays natively. It also includes a single Passive mini Display Port to DVI-D Single Link adapter. Note that the passive adapter is only single-link and thus can only drive a display with a maximum resolution of either 1920x1200 at 60Hz (16x10 aspect ratio) or 1920x1080 (16x9). As it is DVI-D there is no analog signaling pins and the use of a passive DVI-I to VGA (D-15) Adapter will not work. At under 50W TDP this card does not require additional power connections from the power supply and in most cases should not require a power supply upgrade but you should confirm this yourself as when adding any additional hardware. I am running this card in a system with the Intel C226 Haswell chipset PCH but due to an on-board LSI RAID controller the available PCIe3.0 x16 slot only has 8 lanes available but this card still works as per the PCI specifications. The card run more quietly than a Radeon HD5670 I had installed as a test but is smaller and unlike the Radeon is only 1 slot wide and a PCIe x1 FireWire or USB3 adapter in the adjacent x4 slot does not obstruct the fan opening. I am running 2 Asus Pro Art PA248Q monitors at 1920x1200 using native Display Port connectors and a NEC P221W at 1680x1050 using the supplied passive DVI-I adapter. Under Windows 7 Pro 64-bit all displays are recognized and the Desktop extends properly. The Asus Displays are in Portrait mode and the NEC in Landscape but other orientations work as well. Hint: Windows assigns the monitors from the top DP interface down. GPU Acceleration can be activated in Adobe LightRoom & PhotoShop using current drivers from AMD. 2 GB of GDDR5 is an adequate amount of VRAM for most uses. If you are using many layers in large files in PhotoShop you may benefit from more VRAM and might consider the W4300 instead which has twice the performance on most benchmarks and twice the VRAM and is twice the price of this card. There are very few filters in PhotoShop that can take advantage of OpenCL acceleration and for most people the upgrade with the most noticeable improvement will be to add more RAM. But a half-decent video card is still needed so this card is a good compromise so I decided to forego the W4300 and used the money saved for another 16GB memory kit bough here at the Egg. Though it is not listed here this card is manufactured by Sapphire as the exclusive manufacturer for the FirePro line.






Easy to install drivers. Very quiet, can't hear a thing. Low watts too. You will have to go to AMD website to download and install. Mastercam starts & runs no problem. I will be testing with Autodesk Inventor later.

Windows is awesome with drivers and that of everyone gets Window 10 on each computer. I built this for my brother, his company, family, and friends, and kids. When coming over to build with SolidWorks and 3D print as well as VR. On another is the Oculus Rift. This, yes sees the VR headset of brand name of PCs works. Not too, too sure yet. Oculus Rift has sensors in the VR gear. Everything else works. The motherboard does not have WIFI and Bluetooth. Hence work in progress because the VR controller requires Bluetooth. Works. Thanks New Egg for the service and the product line.

Very nice Packaging. Pulled it out put it straight into my egpu and it started working with my mac. Gave me a huge performance boost. I do a lot of AutoCAD/Sketchup so this helped speed things up.
