Experience FirePro! Sweepstakes

By Design World Staff | February 13, 2012

Share

AMD believes their new line of FirePro cards and drivers are more stable and more reliable than any other graphics solution out there. But they want to hear unbiased reality from end users – from the single designer using PhotoShop CS5 to the multi-person CAD shop using a range of DCC and CAD/CAE apps.

Here are two ways to enter:

a) Post a message on Twitter that describes your experience with reliability, stability and compatibility for any recent* FirePro graphics cards. Be sure to include the hashtag #fireuser in the message.

b) Post a comment to http://fireuser.com/blog/experience_firepro describing your experience with reliability, stability and compatibility for any recent* FirePro graphic cards. This comment can be as short as one sentence or as detailed as a paragraph or two..

Comments and Tweets should represent real experiences – good, bad or indifferent. As long as your experience references a recent* card, you are using an up-to-date driver, and you say what app(s) you are using, we want to hear what you have to say.

Dates
Sweepstakes runs February 13-27, 2012.

Prizes
Three Winners will be drawn, each to receive one complimentary AMD FirePro™ V5900 Professional Graphics card valued at approximately US$599 each.

Examples of tweets that describe the quality, graphics card and software:

–FirePro V7900 is fast, stable in CREO/Elements Pro + Keyshot workflow. Can’t live without Eyefinity #FireUser

–FirePro V4900 is performing as expected in SolidWorks 2011 running a 2 million polygon model #FireUser

–Driving 6 HD displays for studio broadcasting using Viz Engine and FirePro V9800. Glitches not an option. #FireUser

–My new FirePro V5900 is outperforming my Quadro 2000 and shows no artifacts in CATIA #FireUser

–Once I cleared out old drivers and installed latest versions, FirePro V7800 started performing well in Maya 2011 #FireUser

What to include if you comment
Comments on http://fireuser.com/blog/experience_firepro can of course be longer and provide more detail including the applications you work in, how you have stressed the card and if you have any direct comparison using another card with these applications.

* Recent eligible graphic cards
Eligible graphic cards for the sweepstakes include the FirePro V3800, FirePro V3900, FirePro V4800, FirePro V4900, FirePro V5800, FirePro V5900, FirePro V7800, FirePro V7900, FirePro V8800 and FirePro V9800.
