AMD FirePro V9800 Has Eyefinity 6, Costs $3,499
One for those who use GPUs for serious things.
Professional parts cost professional money, and AMD today rolled out the ATI FirePro V9800 that comes with a professional $3,499 price tag.
The FirePro V9800 isn't all that different from the FirePro V8800 it usurps – it has the same clock speed, 1,600 stream processors and 147.2GB/s of memory bandwidth.
It's a little more power friendly at 199W, but the really big draw for those who need a lot of displays is that the FirePro V9800 supports Eyefinity 6 to drive a half dozen monitors. The memory doubled to 4GB of GDDR5 is always a nice touch.
The FirePro V8800 was used to help complete 500 final shots in the currently-in-cinemas movie Machete. We don't doubt that Troublemaker Studios will be getting a few FirePro V9800 for the next film.


5 more years and your dream will probably come true...
O'RLY?
Not everyone is as poor as you, most CORPORATIONS are not.
A) this is meant for professional applications, not gaming
B) it is actually, on the hardware level, very similar to current home-user cards. The difference is mainly in the drivers which are geared towards 3D rendering rather then frame building
C) professional use products carry a higher price tag as a) the customers are much more price insensitive and
b) a whole lot more work goes into part B.
Now, with all that in mind, if I were a 3d graphics designer, this thing would just about make me be willing to take a pay-cut just to get it in my work-station.

in 5 years his dream will be 8 Gb of GDDR6
Right.. Because someone willing to spend $3500 on a professional video card would never be willing to spend a few more dollars on 6 monitors.
pretty sure it can make Double Dragon
That is pretty much what eyefinity is all about lol
This is cool and all....but a week ago they did a shootout showing that a quadro version of GTX 460 CRUSHED a FirePro version of a 5870.....I would just wait for nvidias rebuttle
I own 3, not really that expensive.
Not being able to own 6 high quality monitors doesn't classify someone as "poor".
That being said, many corporations that would be willing to purchase a $3,500 graphics card would definitely be able to afford a 6 monitor setup.
Anyone who can spend $3500 on this card can def afford 6 good monitors, since these are high powered workstation cards and not gaming cards. These cards are for work not for play.
