Despite its diminutive size, the AMD FirePro V3900 should still offer plenty for entry-level CAD users.

The battle at the low-end of the professional graphics card market is warming up. At £79 ($119), AMD’s new FirePro V3900 is the cheapest professional 3D board money can buy, coming in at a slightly lower price than Nvidia’s Quadro 400. It still manages to pack 1GB DDR3 memory and 480 stream processors into its compact half height design, however, while consuming less than 50W at peak.

Despite its diminutive size, AMD’s new board provides support for many of the leading CAD applications - not just AutoCAD - with Siemens NX, PTC Creo, SolidWorks and 3ds Max already on the list of certified applications, with others following soon.
