Workstation & driver compatibility
Intended for substantial workstation visualization and compute applications. It needs two adjacent slots, two 6-pin feeds, a PCIe x16 slot and a chassis/PSU designed for a 220 W graphics card.
- Choose an archived AMD professional driver with W8100 explicitly in its device list and support for the installed OS; current Radeon driver support is not implied.
- Check the workstation vendor's power/thermal validation and the target application's certified-driver matrix before deploying for production work.
- Inspect the dual-slot cooler, full board clearance, both auxiliary sockets and exact SDI/display output panel before use.
