AMD Workstation GPU Buyers Guide

The GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) or graphics card is the most important component in a workstation. This is because it’s the GPU that does most of the work when it comes to rendering graphics and video, running simulations and AI models. This guide will teach you everything you need to know so you pick the perfect model for your workstation.

What makes AMD workstation GPUs special

AMD workstation GPUs feature a whole host of extra features and capabilities that their consumer counterparts lack.

encrypted

Certified Drivers

Certified Drivers ISVs such as Autodesk, Dassault and Siemens certify their applications, ensuring optimal stability backed by enterprise-class customer support.

memory_alt

Enterprise Class

Enterprise-class components ensure better reliability and resiliency, reducing failure rates especially when used at full load for longer periods of time.

running_with_errors

ECC Memory

Error correcting code (ECC) memory acts to protect data from corruption, so any errors are eradicated prior to them affecting the workload being processed.

Extended Memory

Larger onboard frame buffers than consumer GPUs enable larger and more complex renders and compute simulations to be processed.

lock

Inbuilt Security

AMD Secure Processor technology helps protect sensitive data and validate code before it is executed, protecting your system & data from unauthorised software and applications.

Radeon Pro W7900

The W7900 is the most powerful high-end card in the Radeon Pro W7000 range. Based on the RDNA 3 architecture, the W7900 has 6,144 stream processors, 192 AI accelerators and 96 ray accelerators plus 48GB of ultra-reliable GDDR6 ECC memory. The W7900 features 96MB of L3 Infinity Cache and supports four high resolution displays, making this card the perfect choice for very high-end workstations

HI-RES

Support for 8K video projects and up to six 4K HDR displays is enabled via AMD Infinity Cache technology, allowing data that is likely to be needed and reused, to be temporarily held in high-speed GPU memory.

RAY TRACING

The Ray Accelerator is a high-performance raytracing acceleration architecture. This specialised hardware handles the intersection of rays directly on AMD Radeon Pro GPUs.

VR

AMD Radeon ReLive for VR technology means you have untethered freedom to naturally navigate your creations as you would in the real world - without worrying about wires, base stations or dedicated VR rooms.

REMOTE WORKING

Easily access the full GPU-accelerated experience of Radeon Pro graphics card-powered workstations from virtually anywhere with the remote workstation IP built into AMD Software Pro Edition.
