AMD FirePro™ W600 is the most powerful solution
available for configuring multi-screen display walls—
no other single-slot professional graphics card is
capable of driving up to six displays (with
independent audio streams), features the latest
graphics memory technology for exceptional
multimedia performance and only consumes 75W
maximum power.2
You can find them on tradeshow floors, in restaurants,
in corporate conference rooms, in command and
control centers and in amusement parks. Thanks to
emerging technologies and decreasing display costs,
more corporations, event venues, broadcast studios,
department stores and other locations are turning to multi-display configurations that bring together vivid
imagery, video, animations and information designed to attract, inform, influence and engage audiences.
AMD FirePro™ W600 is the ideal professional graphics product to power multi-screen display walls designed
for Entertainment & Events (e.g. concerts, sports events, stage productions, etc.) and for Collaborative
Environments (e.g. corporate video conferencing, command and control centers, convention centers, etc.),
and other segments of the digital signage market. Each AMD FirePro™ W600 features 2GB of GDDR5
memory, the latest memory technology designed specifically for graphics architectures, and is capable of
supporting real-time 2D and 3D high resolution images, animations, 3D content and live/prerecorded video
(HD and SD) with exceptional visual quality.
To meet the widest assortment of display wall configurations,
AMD FirePro™ W600 graphics cards:
• F eature six Mini DisplayPort outputs for high display density and deployment flexibility
• S
upport multi-stream audio for more immersive surround sound experiences – ideal for video
conferencing with multiple participants in dispersed locations
• F
eature a PCIe® 3.0 compliant x16 interface, offering up to 8 GB/s of interconnect bandwidth
• Combine multiple AMD FirePro W600 graphics cards to drive 12 or more displays1
• Is compatible with display wall applications from leading ISVs, including Mitsubishi Electric, Ventuz
and Vizrt, that can take advantage of two or more graphics cards in a system to display a mix of content or
a single large image across multiple displays3
• Support for two simultaneous HD video streams via AMD Unified Video Decoder– a flexible video playback
engine featuring comprehensive video format support
•
Feature a full height/half length form factor that can be easily deployed in a range of computing systems,
from small form factor desktops to large tower workstations

MD Eyefinity technology supports up to six DisplayPort™ monitors on an enabled graphics card. Supported display quantity, type and resolution vary by model and board design; confirm specifications with
A
manufacturer before purchase. To enable more than two displays, or multiple displays from a single output, additional hardware such as DisplayPort-ready monitors or DisplayPort 1.2 MST-enabled hubs may be
required. Maximum two active adapters supported. See www.amd.com/eyefinityfaq for full details.
