AMD Launches FirePro V3900 Professional GPU
AMD has announced the launch of its new FirePro V3900 professional graphics card.
AMD has released its new entry-level V3900 professional graphics card, which replaces the V3800. The V3900 is priced at $119, which puts it directly up against the Nvidia's Quadro 400. It sits roughly $50 less than the Nvidia's Quadro 600 and $20 more than the V3800.
From the specifications, V3900 looks to be a nice update to the V3800 and is basically the business version of the Radeon HD 6570 DDR3. The V3900 has double the memory at 1GB and is based on the "Turks" GPU. The card's 128-bit DDR3 memory gives it 28.8GB/s of memory bandwidth compared to the V3800, which had a 64-bit interface providing half the bandwidth at 14.4GB/s. It supports the latest versions of OpenGL and OpenCL (4.2 and 1.1, respectively). Based on various test conducted by AMD, the card shows performance increases over both the V3800 and Quadro 400.
The card will ship with an optional full-height bracket to allow it to be installed in standard form factor systems. The AMD FirePro V3900 has received certification for a variety of applications including AutoCAD, UGS NX, PTC Creo, SolidWorks, and Autodesk 3Ds Max. It is backed by a 3-year limited product repair / replacement warranty.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I've never really go the difference between these 'business' versions and anything else. I don't play any games, but you either support DirectX or you don't, so what's the actual difference betwen the 6750 and the 3900? Is it just warranty?

The business cards are similar but they have better quality hardware and perform better at openGL, CL etc. They are also not as good at directx as their gaming counterparts.

Surely it is the drivers which differ more than the hardware?
You'd be better off with a low budget gaming card. Almost ANY card can handle autocad. If you're only going to spend 119 you'd be better of getting a gaming card for that price.

Hardware isn't any better its the drivers and software that are better plus better support. So basically they're for noobs who don't know any better. I can guarantee a similarly priced gaming card will do the same thing just fine.
