AMD has the FirePro R5000 announced. The video card is intended for data centers and using the PCoIP protocol thin clients of gpu power. The R5000 allows four screens of 1920×1200 pixels at a time on distance control.

The R5000 features 2GB of gddr5 through a 256-bit bus with the gpu communicates. At what frequency the memory tap is unknown, as is the type of gpu that AMD for the video card used. The R5000 works according to AMD optimal in a pci-express 3.0 slot, and is powered through a single 6-pin connector, so that the total power consumption does not exceed the 150W can come out.

The FirePro R5000 is the successor of the ATi FirePro RG220 graphics card, which in 2010 was released. The video cards make it possible to take images remotely, to rendering and then to a thin client. The FirePro R5000 can have four monitors with a resolution of 1920×1200 pixels, or two displays with a resolution of 2560×1600 pixels control. It supports the video card with DirectX 11.1, OpenGL 4.2, OpenCL 1.2 and Shader Model 5.0. Monitors can also directly on the video card are plugged in, thanks to the two mini-displayport connectors, the card next to the ethernet connector.

The performance of the video card are of course dependent on the network capacity and the screen resolution. For video editing at 1920×1200 pixels is according to AMD a speed of 100Mbit/s per screen required. The transfer can be both via lan and via wan expired, and is therefore encrypted with 256-bit aes encryption. In order to make use of the capabilities of the FirePro R5000 are special thin clients requires that the PCoIP protocol support.
