Barco MXRT-2700 2GB Small Form Factor Graphics Card (K9306045)

The Barco MXRT-2700 2GB Small Form Factor Graphics Card (Model K9306045) is a professional-grade display controller designed for compact workstations requiring reliable multi-display output and stable visual performance. As part of Barco’s MXRT series — a lineup of graphics solutions tailored to medical imaging, visualization workstations, PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems), and other professional multi-monitor workflows — the MXRT-2700 balances strong display support, low power consumption, and compatibility with entry-level systems. Its small form factor design enables installation in space- and power-constrained desktops or specialized hardware, making it an excellent choice where typical workstation GPUs would be too large or power hungry.

At its core, the MXRT-2700 incorporates an AMD Radeon Pro-class graphics accelerator with 2 GB of dedicated GDDR5 video memory across a 64-bit memory interface. This memory configuration supports approximately 48 GB/s of memory bandwidth, which is sufficient to accommodate multiple high-resolution image buffers and data visualizations typical in professional display environments. The GPU supports 10-bit grayscale and 30-bit color depth, enabling nuanced color and contrast essential for medical diagnostics, CAD visualization, and other critical imaging tasks.

Connectivity is a strong point for this controller. The card includes three native DisplayPort 1.4 outputs — one full-size DisplayPort and two mini-DisplayPorts — allowing it to drive three independent monitors without the need for splitters or external hubs. Barco typically includes locking adapters for the mini-DisplayPort connectors, improving stability in professional setups where connections must remain secure. The card’s support for DisplayPort 1.4 ensures compatibility with high-resolution displays and extended desktop configurations up to the limits of the outputs and monitor resolutions.

From a system compatibility standpoint, the MXRT-2700 is engineered for PCIe Gen3 x8 slots, enabling broad support across Intel and AMD-based workstations. Its low power consumption (typically < 35 W) and lack of auxiliary power connectors ensure it can operate effectively in smaller chassis or systems with limited power delivery — a common constraint in compact or OEM-built professional machines.

The controller’s software and API support include DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.5, and Vulkan 1.1, making it compatible with a wide array of professional applications used in diagnostic imaging, data visualization, simulation, and multi-display command centers. Additionally, support for operating systems such as Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit) enhances its applicability in modern clinical and enterprise environments where certified, stable drivers are essential.

In real-world use, the Barco MXRT-2700 is often deployed in medical reading workstations, visualization stations, and auxiliary display roles where consistent and accurate display output is a priority but where the use of larger, higher-power GPUs may be impractical. Its combination of multi-output capability, professional memory handling, compact size, and low power demands makes it suitable as either a primary display controller or as part of a multi-GPU configuration in broad professional applications.
