innovative capabilities deliver an exceptional level of realism for aesthetic, visual designs and
the ability to experiment with design options in real-time which increases creativity, greater
innovation, and streamlining the manufacturing process.
With full Shader Model 3.0 support accelerated in hardware, a scalable ultra-threaded
architecture with true 128-bit floating point precision, parallel geometry engines and pixel
shader processors, and ultra efficient ring bus memory controller, ATI FireGL accelerators
provide the graphics horsepower for today's professional applications and tomorrow's
technology innovations.
“The impressive graphics performance of the new certified line of ATI FireGL graphics
accelerators completely meets the expectations of CATIA® and ENOVIA DMU users.
FireGL delivers such exceptional realism, accuracy and power that it will significantly
improve the efficiency and productivity of our customers.”
Laurent Laloy, Director R&D, Dassault Systèmes
Designed with a 10-bit display pipeline and a High Dynamic Range (HDR) 16-bit per RGB
color component output capable of producing over one trillion colors for the most vibrant
visual fidelity, it's no wonder that CATIA professionals rely on ATI FireGL workstation
accelerators with Avivo Technology for ultra fast processing of complex datasets, real-time
cinematic-quality rendering, and superior value.
ATI FireGL workstation graphics accelerators are thoroughly tested and certified with CATIA
plus all major Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Digital Content Creation (DCC) applications
