SpecPicks scored ATI FirePro V3900 1GB DDR3 DVI/DisplayPort PCI-Express Video Card using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the retro graphics cards category. ATI's retro graphics cards lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.
