Yesterday, the most awaited powerful future-ready graphics card from AMD, including support for 4K as the all new AMD FirePro W8100 high-end graphics card was officially announced in Malaysia. It has a memory of 8GB which is really huge and comes in the latest GDDR5 with even up to 4.2 TFLOPS when it comes to single precision while 2.1 TFLOPS when it comes to double precision.

With great partnership alongside Dell and HP, AMD is looking forward to offer this graphics card to come in a package as this a professional-grade for CAD, as well as video editing, heavy designing, and any software that requires heavy GPU usage, the AMD FirePro W8100 will handle all these with ease. And for gamers who are looking for a 4K supported graphics card for future games, here you have it but do take note as this is much ideal for workstation usage instead of gaming. Also, do take note that this GPU can handle Ultra HD frame rates without any lag and extremely responsive.

The AMD FirePro W8100 can be combined up to four cards in a single system providing GPU performance of over 16 TFLOPS. Last but not least, the AMD FirePro W8100 can be output up to four 4K display with slightly differentiated graphics settings.

If your software at your workplace lags badly, it could be probably due to outdated graphics card simply because as often as the software gets updated, the requirements for it to run smoothly with minimum lags and crashes will increase gradually too. So the best way to fix it is by getting a better graphics card, or get the AMD FirePro W8100 as its totally future-proof and this will be good enough and could remain unchanged for sometime.
