Dell Precision Workstations Now Shipping with ATI FirePro Cards
A handful of Dell Precision Workstations are now coming equipped with ATI FirePro V7800, V5800, and V4800 professional graphics cards, AMD announced this week.
"AMD and Dell are working together to offer workstation users a combined solution designed for reliable performance and demanding application support," said Janet Matsuda, senior director, AMD Professional Graphics. :Our new generation of ATI FirePro professional graphics cards enable Dell to offer workstations that accelerate ATI Stream-enabled software applications and deliver unique features, such as ATI Eyefinity technology, enabling increased productivity by way of expanded screen real estate."
On the lower end, ATI's FirePro V4800 features 1GB of GDDR5 memory and is available with Dell Precision R5400, T1500, T3500, T5500, and T7500 Workstations. Moving up to the mid-range, the V5800 also comes with 1GB of GDDR5 memory, but double the performance over previous-gen FirePro parts. And on the high-end, the V7800 ups the ante with 2GB of RAM in a single-slot form factor. Both the V5800 and V7800 are available on Dell Precision R5400, T3500, T5500, and T7500 Workstations.

Not that I personally like Dell all that much, but it's great that OEM's are using ATI product.
I use and service SolidWorks CAD Software for a living, which requires a certified workstation card to work properly. So I regularly test, service, repair, and try to figure out what the heck is going on with video cards, SolidWorks and Windows. And just let everything else ATI, you get much more product for your $$$$$$ with the new Fire-PRO cards and the power consumption is much less than an equivalent-more expensive Nvidia card. I find the support-drivers to be on par if not better than Nvidia, and usually a lot less buggy.
I very much enjoy my ATI cards, and can't wait for the day I can upgrade all my Nvidia Quadro's.
