AMD FIREPRO W600 Graphic Card (2GB, GDDR5, PCI-E)

Used with 6 projectors for a 70 meter projection worked great although was a little tricky to setup

A card like this has pretty much a niche market so I'm not the every-day graphics card buyer. I needed the capability to have multiple screens running, each with a slightly different display, and this card is fit for purpose. I've not yet run the card with all 6 displays hooked up but it's going fine with 4 running. My system case is spacious and well ventilated, which probably helps, but the W600 typically runs at 42 - 45 degrees C. I don't think I've ever seen it go over 47. The system's been up for around 7 hr today and the card's sitting at 43C. I thought I had an issue with the card on start-up and rang AMD for technical guidance and advice. They could not have been more obliging and helpful. It turned out that it was a monitor issue; it did not auto-detect that I'd switched from a DVI input to Display Port input. In the box was what I wanted - the card (if I disregard the extra mounting strap described below). No cables, but if you plan to run six monitors then the chances are you're going to have quite specific needs for cabling length. I certainly do. I didn't really expect AMD to slip 20 metres of cabling into the box, free of charge. And no disk. For what? 6 monitors implies a special purpose, for which I already have the relevant software. Maybe AMD could have provided Catalyst - just in case - but most casual users don't need this level of control. For those who see the need it's available for ready download from AMD's website. The only minor complaint was the packaging. The card sat relatively loose in its box underlain by a layer of egg-carton-like foam rubber but with nothing on top of the card to hold it firm. For some reason the card came with a spare mounting strip and this strip was placed in the base of the box, beneath the foam rubber cushioning. In transit the corner of the strap vibrated through the foam cushioning, through the plastic bag containing the card, and had been rubbing on the card. Fortunately it caused no damage but it was pretty sloppy packaging. This was manufacturer packaging, not Amazon packaging. Amazon's shipping packaging was faultless. Overall - a happy shopper. A card that effortlessly fulfills my requirements backed up by good service from Amazon, prompt shipping and good service response from AMD.

Great video card. We are currently using it to display digital signage content in a videowall. we have installed a dozen or more with total confidence in reliability.

The device works perfectly on all the six outputs. Only the drivers for linux are a bit problematic. Never tried under windows.

Love this card! Runs great. Great alignment features.
