The FirePro S7000 Server Graphics Card from Sapphire is a server-side graphics card for applications where desktop-grade graphics need to be deployed over a network, especially servers hosting virtual machines. It is designed to give thin client and zero client remote users a similar experience to having a local workstation while keeping all of the hardware required for heavy lifting confined to a centralized location for simpler maintenance and administration.
The GPU is boostable to 950 MHz depending on BIOS settings, thermal performance, and other factors. 4GB of GDDR5 memory over a 256-bit memory interface provide a memory bandwidth of up to 154 GB/s. A DisplayPort output allows local displays to be connected to the card. Using AMD Eyefinity technology and MST hubs or daisy-chainable monitors it is possible to connect up to a total of six displays via DisplayPort.
The FirePro S7000 is designed for applications that require or benefit from the additional processing power a dedicated graphics card provides, such as CAD, video editing, 3D animation, render farms, and financial services. It also supports virtual machine applications, including the installation of multiple GPUs in one server to provide one dedicated GPU per virtual machine.
