ATI FirePro V9800 System Set-Up and Software Used

We have now on several outings shown the mighty Supermicro X8SAX ATX workstation mainboard as our platform of choice as this is an extremely vogue set-up by many tier 1 and system integrators.    Therefore in maintaining continuity of our  “in house” test platforms that have currently tested the previous professional graphics cards we head out once more with the system that has had you all aghast with awe.  What it also demonstrates is complete continuity in the launch platforms so that you the reader will understand from all the previous articles jus how fast each of the professional graphic cards have performed.   Both Supermicro and Intel certainly pulled out the stops with these excellent parts which in turn means we can now demonstrate with the newer peripherals coming online the best possible results.  This in turn will demonstrate to you the end user just what to fully expect when you purchase systems of the like we have here in situ.   This is a very reliable and sound workstation platform which have an abundance of scope for upgrading, which we have voiced on many occasion.

Many requests from the community has requested to see results from our ever faithful Western Digital VelociRaptor.  Therefore we looked at this carefully and decided that it would be a good option to show all just how well the VelociRaptor interacted with this system and, just how much the professional graphics cards of today worked on their own without the full aid of the system I/O in certain applications and operations of course.
