AMD's Latest Server Compute GPU Packs In 32GB of Memory

Posted by timothy on from the absurdly-cheap-by-some-metrics dept.

Deathspawner writes: Following-up on the release of 12GB and 16GB FirePro compute cards last fall, AMD has just announced a brand-new top-end: the 32GB FirePro S9170. Targeted at DGEMM computation, the S9170 sets a new record for GPU memory on a single card, and does so without a dual-GPU design. Architecturally, the S9170 is similar to the S9150, but is clocked a bit faster, and is set to cost about the same as well, at between $3,000~$4,000. While AMD's recent desktop Radeon launch might have left a bit to be desired, the company has proven with its S9170 that it's still able to push boundaries.

    This will cut my rendering time of Hentai down dramatically.

    1) You're old... We get it!
    2) 2013 called, they want their fad back
    3) "Render" Hentai? Unless you count encoding DVD rips in some lossy codec to be "rendering": it really won't. Do you have some fucked up 3D animation hentai running on OpenGL or DirectX?
