These industries require reliable and high performance solutions which the Radeon™ Pro WX 9100 workstation graphics card provides.  The Radeon™ Pro WX 9100 workstation graphics card is tuned for Creo and the PTC portfolio to ensure maximum performance and reliability.  Support for open industry standards such as OpenCL™ and OpenGL® allows Radeon™ Pro solutions to deliver fully accelerated GPU performance for compute workloads. Dassault Systèmes CATIA and 3DExperience Platform For three decades Dassault Systèmes has been a world leader in 3D design and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions. The 3DExperience® platform is a business experience platform providing software solutions for every organization enabling engineers and industrial designers to digitally define and simulate products, processes and resources. This platform helps customers to bring their innovative products to market faster.  Radeon™ Pro workstation graphics cards are thoroughly tested and certified for CATIA and the 3DExperience platform by Dassault Systèmes for optimized performance and reliability. AMD is the right choice for those looking to deploy CATIA powered by the latest GPU technology with professional-grade performance and reliability. Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS Radeon™ Pro workstation cards are optimized for advanced SOLIDWORKS® workflows and simultaneous engineering, combining complex CAD modeling with sophisticated rendering and simulation (CAE). Unlike consumer graphics cards, certified Radeon™ Pro WX Series graphics cards, including planned certification for the new Radeon™ Pro WX 9100, provide a number of GPU-accelerated features and SOLIDWORKS-specific optimizations, enabling increased realism, outstanding performance and enhanced interactivity for designers and engineers. SOLIDWORKS® 2017 brings rapid design and greater “design intuition” with GPU-accelerated transparency mode (OIT) for managing mates (geometric relationships between SOLIDWORKS parts) and transparent section views.  This enhances the process of selecting edges or planes in other components and makes constraining an assembly quick and easy. OIT is automatically enabled when using the Radeon™ Pro WX 9100 workstation graphics card. For more information on the benefits of using Radeon™ Pro with SOLIDWORKS, visit http://pro.radeon.com/solidworks Autodesk® Revit® Revit software is a popular BIM (Building Information Modeling) tool used in the AEC industry.  It allows architects and engineers to plan, design, construct and manage buildings and infrastructure.  AMD has worked closely with Autodesk to enable features like Occlusion Culling within Revit®.  This feature improves view performance by drawing visible elements only.  Elements obscured by other elements will not be drawn in the view.  This feature will have no impact to the selection of elements in a model, and can be selected as needed.
2. Media and Entertainment

• Adobe After Effects : is a digital visual effects, motion graphics, and compositing application developed by Adobe Systems and used in the post-production process of film making and television production. Among other things, After Effects can be used for keying, tracking, compositing and animation. It also functions as a very basic non-linear editor, audio editor and media transcoder.  The Radeon™ Pro WX 9100 workstation graphics cards provides superior, high-end graphics performance for any stage of the After Effects content creation pipeline.
• Adobe Premiere Pro Adobe Premiere Pro is a popular video editing application that is used by many people and organizations from professional studios, freelance artists, universities, to every-day users.  It supports high resolution video editing at up to 10,240 × 8,192 resolution, at up to 32-bits per channel color, in both RGB and YUV color space. Audio sample-level editing, VST audio plug-in support, and 5.1 surround sound mixing are available. Adobe Premiere Pro’s plug-in architecture enables it to import and export formats beyond those supported by QuickTime or DirectShow, supporting a wide variety of video and audio file formats and codecs on both MacOS and Windows. The Radeon™ Pro WX 9100 workstation graphics card provides superior, high-end graphics performance for any stage of the Premiere Pro content creation pipeline. Autodesk 3ds Max With Autodesk 3ds Max, artists can create professional-looking 3D models, photorealistic images and film-quality animations leveraging the power of the Radeon™ Pro WX 9100.  With planned certifications for Autodesk 3ds Max, the Radeon™ Pro WX 9100 enables advanced workflows, and is a powerful solution for modeling, animating and rendering. Autodesk Maya Maya is a professional application used by studios, developers and content creators to generate 3D assets for use in film, television, game development and architecture. Radeon ProRender plug-in for Maya has full support for out-of-core rendering with the High Bandwidth Cache Controller technology found on the Radeon™ Pro WX 9100.  This allows users with very large models to render fully accelerated by the GPU. Maya GPU rendering has also been optimized for OpenCL and now provides fast rendering performance on the WX 9100. Avid Media Composer As Media and Entertainment industry creatives work with increasingly higher-resolution content up to 8K, the pressure on a workstation’s CPU has never been greater. By combining Avid’s resolution-independent and market-leading Media Composer® video editing software with a high-end professional graphics processor like the Radeon™ Pro WX 9100 workstation graphics card, traditional bottlenecks typically found between the CPU and GPU are reduced thanks to the Radeon™ Pro WX 9100’s ability to take advantage of the full 32GB/s bandwidth of the current PCIe® Gen3 standard. This helps enable better application performance and reduces data transfer challenges, aiding overall user productivity. Blender Blender provides a comprehensive set of open source tools for content creation including asset design, rigging and animation, sculpting and texturing, rendering, VFX simulation, camera tracking and compositing, video editing and color grading.  Used by universities, students, freelance artists and some studios, Blender has full support for out-of-core rendering with our High Bandwidth Cache Controller found on the Radeon™ Pro WX 9100.

3. Game Development The Radeon™ Pro WX 9100 is designed to simplify and accelerate game creation by providing a single GPU that is optimized for every stage of the game development workflow, from asset production, to playtesting and performance optimization. When creating assets and working with game development tools, developers will be able to take advantage of the rock-solid reliability of Radeon™ Pro Software and the power offered by the Radeon™ Pro WX 9100 to help ensure maximum stability, productivity, and performance when using tools like Autodesk® 3ds Max®, Blender™, Unity®, and Unreal® Engine. Then when it comes time to playtest and optimize the experience, a “Driver Options” button in Radeon™ Pro Settings allows seamless switching to one of two installed Radeon™ Software drivers 6. To go back to Radeon™ Pro Software is as simple as a couple of clicks, allowing for rapid switching between professional and gaming software for faster iteration during game development workflows.   As a bonus, professionals who are using the Radeon™ Pro WX 9100 for product design or content creation will be able to take advantage of this feature to unwind with their favorite game on the same system they were working on. With the Radeon™ Pro Software “Driver Options” enabling the use of the latest WHQL Radeon™ Software driver and the gaming features of Radeon™ Software7, Radeon™ Pro WX 9100 will also be able to offer an incredible Radeon™ gaming experience.
