AMD FirePro V4900 Pro Reviews

The MSRP on the AMD FirePro V4900 that will begin shipping today is $189 USD. The FirePro V4800 is currently selling for $160 USD, the V5800 for $360, and the V5900 for $430. Following the V4900 launch it would be surprising if the V5000 series don't see a reduction in price, seeing as the new Turks-based FirePro V4900 performance is generally competitive with the V5800 and in some cases the V5900, while it costs roughly $200 less. In other words, the FirePro V4900 is a great bargain for a lower-end workstation graphics card. The FirePro V4900 can only handle triple displays with Eyefinity, but if you are after anything less than a mid-range graphics card, chances are you will only be after a single or dual head configuration. With the V4900 GPU being derived from the Northern Islands family, the driver support is already fairly mature and should work great. I did not encounter any issues during my few days of testing and this brand new graphics card is already working with the open-source Linux driver.
