However, some FirePro cards may have major feature differences to the equivalent Radeon card, such as ECC RAM and differing physical display outputs. Because they use the same drivers (Catalyst) and are based on the same architectures and chipsets, the major differences are essentially limited to price and double-precision performance. Their Radeon counterparts are suited towards video games and other consumer applications. The FirePro line is designed for compute intensive, multimedia content creation (such as video editors), and mechanical engineering design software (such as CAD programs). The user-mode drivers as well as the kernel-mode drivers for AMD FirePro products have additional features, and also (not depicted here) additional interfaces.

The new brand for servers is Radeon Instinct.įeatures Multi-monitor support In July 2016, AMD announced it would be replacing the FirePro brand with Radeon Pro for workstations.

ĭeprecated brand names are ATI FireGL, ATI FirePro 3D, and AMD FireStream. The first FireGL board used the 3Dlabs GLINT 3D processor chip. The FireGL line was originally developed by the German company Spea Software AG until it was acquired by Diamond Multimedia in November 1995.

The GPU chips on FirePro-branded graphics cards are identical to the ones used on Radeon-branded graphics cards.
