About ATI FirePro V8750

The ATI FirePro V8750 is a professional workstation graphics card from AMD, built on the RV770 chip and the TeraScale architecture. It is a product of the FirePro Terascale (Vx700) generation, manufactured on a 55 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 256 mm² containing 956 million transistors. The card is positioned with a benchmark percentile of 50 when compared against all GPUs, indicating it sits at the median of the performance distribution in the database.

Power and Cooling

The FirePro V8750 has a thermal design power (TDP) of 151 W, which dictates its cooling and power delivery requirements. The card occupies a dual-slot form factor, indicating a substantial cooler is necessary to dissipate heat from the RV770 chip under sustained professional workloads. Power is supplied via two 6-pin PCIe power connectors, which must be connected for the card to operate correctly.

For system integration, the manufacturer recommends a power supply unit with a rating of 450 W. This recommendation accounts for the card’s power draw alongside other system components, ensuring stable operation. The physical dimensions of the card are 254 mm in length (10 inches) and 111 mm in height (4.4 inches), which are critical measurements for chassis compatibility. The card interfaces with the motherboard via a PCIe 2.0 x16 bus connection. These specifications indicate that the card is designed for full-size workstation towers rather than compact or small-form-factor systems, given its length, dual-slot cooler, and dedicated power connector requirements.

Ray Tracing and Feature Set

The FirePro V8750 does not include dedicated ray tracing cores or tensor cores, as these hardware units are not present in the architecture. The card’s feature set is defined by its support for DirectX 10.1 (shader model 10_1) and OpenGL 3.3. There is no Vulkan API support listed for this device.

This API profile reflects the card’s era and architectural design. The absence of hardware-accelerated ray tracing means that any ray-traced workloads would rely on compute-based methods or are not supported. Similarly, the lack of tensor cores means no hardware acceleration for AI inference or deep learning tasks commonly associated with modern professional cards. The card’s capabilities are instead focused on traditional rasterization pipelines supported by DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL 3.3, which are the relevant standards for professional CAD and DCC applications of its generation.

Memory Subsystem

The memory subsystem of the FirePro V8750 is built around 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, connected via a 256-bit memory bus. The memory operates at 900 MHz, translating to a 3.6 Gbps effective data rate. This configuration yields a total memory bandwidth of 115.2 GB/s.

For high-resolution workloads, this memory configuration has specific implications. The 2 GB capacity is a limiting factor for very large textures or complex 3D scenes that exceed this amount of data. The 256-bit bus and 115.2 GB/s bandwidth provide sufficient throughput for the card’s rendering capabilities, but the data shows that memory capacity, rather than bandwidth, is more likely to constrain performance at extremely high resolutions with large frame buffers. The pixel rate of 12.00 GPixel/s and texture rate of 30.00 GTexel/s are independent of the memory bandwidth but rely on the memory subsystem to feed the shaders. The card’s FP32 performance is rated at 1,200.0 GFLOPS, indicating its raw compute throughput for single-precision workloads.

How It Compares

The data provided does not include a list of nearest rivals with scores or deltaPct values for the ATI FirePro V8750. Consequently, a direct comparative analysis against specific competing models based on benchmark scores is not possible from the available information.

The card holds a percentile rank of 50 among all GPUs in the database. This median placement suggests that it outperforms half of the recorded graphics cards and is outperformed by the other half. In the context of professional workstation cards from its generation, this position implies a mid-range standing. Without specific rival data, the interpretation must remain general: the FirePro V8750 offers a baseline level of performance that is neither at the top nor the bottom of the overall performance distribution.

Given the absence of specific competitor scores, the analysis is limited to the absolute characteristics of the card. The 800 shading units and 40 texture mapping units define its processing capabilities. The 16 ROPs are responsible for pixel output, and the card’s display outputs include 1x DVI, 2x DisplayPort 1.0, and 1x S-Video, which are the interface options for connecting displays.

Who Should Consider It

The ATI FirePro V8750 is suited for users whose workloads align with its hardware capabilities and API support. The card supports DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL 3.3, making it compatible with professional applications from the corresponding software generation. The 2 GB GDDR5 memory and 256-bit bus are adequate for standard professional tasks, but the 115.2 GB/s bandwidth should be considered when working with high-resolution textures.

The 1,200.0 GFLOPS FP32 performance and 12.00 GPixel/s pixel rate indicate the card can handle moderate rendering workloads. Users running legacy CAD or DCC applications that utilize OpenGL 3.3 will find this card functional. The 50th percentile ranking suggests that for general-purpose computing, it is an average performer. For demanding high-resolution 3D rendering with very large scenes, the 2 GB memory capacity may be insufficient, and the lack of modern API support (no Vulkan) limits compatibility with newer software. The card is end-of-life, and its predecessor is FireGL, with a successor of Radeon Pro GCN, which indicates its place in the product timeline. It is best considered for systems requiring a specific legacy feature set rather than for modern, high-end professional visualization.
