As a result, the company’s market share grew from 12% in 2009 to 20% by the beginning of 2014. When AMD eventually decided to expand, it relied on simple and easy methods: a clever pricing policy and a rapid introduction of new-generation professional cards with advanced architectures. AMD products were not well represented in the professional market whereas Nvidia used to dominate it. The two approaches produced different outcomes.
AMD, on its part, limited itself to adapting gaming cards for this market – and with some delay at that. Nvidia’s most advanced and high-performance solutions are professional cards, too. Nvidia considered it a priority and often introduced its new GPU architectures on this market first. Although their sale volumes aren’t high, such products do bring in considerable profits just because they cost much more than their gaming counterparts.ĪMD and Nvidia used to have different views of the professional graphics card market. There’s one more important market which is comprised of professional cards for CAD/CAM applications, HD content processing, and heavy computing. Google shows a lot with Eyefinity and DP to "other" adapters, but running DP all the way, should rule that out?Īnd at last, I've not yet tried running 2 or 3 DP cables and the daisychain the monitors, that must be the next step, but I thought the W4100 should be able to run 4 monitors with 4 DP cables.The leading GPU developers AMD and Nvidia are competing not only on the market of gaming graphics cards. I'm going mad I dont know what to do anymore! Was the W4100 cards a wrong choice? I've tried with Windows 7 and Windows 10, and tried with all 3 computers (we are going to use Windows 10 in the end), different versions of AMD drivers/software. The monitors are all shown in device manager, but I cant extend the desktop to the 4 monitor. Tried with different monitors, same results.Ĥ Dell miniDP to DP adapters, DP cables (7m high quality), 4 monitors worked for a day, with many start/shutdowns, suddenly only 3 monitors are working. We have troubles connecting 4 monitors, we have tried:Ĥ Dell miniDP to HDMI adapters, HDMI cables (10m high quality with built in amplifier), sometimes all 4 monitors work, sometimes 2 or 3. They are going to be used as clients for alarm handling software on a firestation. We have 3 brand new Dell computers with AMD Firepro W4100 cards and 12 brand new Dell U2417H monitors.
