AMD says that its new ATI FireGL V7700 professional graphics accelerator is the first commercially available 3D workstation graphics card that supports the new DisplayPort interface specification. The $1,099 card is also up-to-date when it comes to the PCI Express 2.0 bus, as well as a 10-bit display engine that (when used with a compatible monitor) can produce more than a billion colors at any given time.

Equipped with 512MB of memory, the V7700 combines DisplayPort with a dual-link DVI output allowing a multi-monitor desktop over 5,000 pixels wide from a single accelerator. Adding a second FireGL card supports up to four displays in the same workstation.
