ATI FirePro V3800, V4800, V5800, V7800, V8800 Owner Thread
This thread is for the latest (as of Sept 2010) ATI Professional grade video cards, the FirePro V3800, V4800, V5800, V7800, and V8800. For comparisons, do a search for a similar thread created for nVidia graphics cards.
This should be a good place for people to let others know whether their video card is working well or not. Since almost all video cards are finicky, it is often tough to decide which to purchase. Help everyone out by posting here what your experiences are with your video card.
Here is an example post:
I installed an ATI FirePro
I use Windows 7 64 bit, and I am using driver number
I use two monitors, each at 1600x1200 resolution.
(The above is made up, I do not own an ATI FirePro card)
Rules for posting in this thread:
1. If you are having problems with your video card, do not try to fix them in this thread. Create a new thread of your own, or append to a different thread of an existing post with the same problem. I do suggest you create a post here that links to your thread. Make sure to include your OS (including 32/64 bit), and driver number, and what kind of modeling you do. Something like:
I have an ATI FirePro V4800, and I get artifacts in my model viewing area for both models and drawings. I am using Windows Vista 64 bit with the driver number
Here is a link to my thread, please help!

If you do a formal review on your blog, or you have a link to another review on a different blog, let me know and I will post it here on this original post. I only want reviews that discuss issues related to stability and performance. No “whiz bang” publicity reviews, you can use Google to find those if you want.
