The FirePro M5100 features different energy saving techniques to reduce power consumption and prolong battery life. Recent Games of 2014/2015 can thus be played fluently in medium to high details and a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. Just like the Radeon series, the FirePro M5100 offers features like Eyefinity, Enduro or PCIe 3.0. Presumably, AMD uses the Cape Verde graphics chip, but this has not yet been officially confirmed.Īccording to the clock rates of up to 775 MHz for the chip and 1125 MHz for the memory (4500 MHz effective, 72 GB/s), the 3D gaming performance will be slightly above the Nvidia Quadro K2100M or GeForce GT 750M with GDDR5 memory. The memory of up to 2 GB GDDR5 is connected via an 128-bit interface. Overall, the chip has 640 stream processors, 40 TMUs and 16 ROPs. The FirePro M5100 integrates 10 Compute Units based on the GCN architecture. Due to optimizations and some unlocked features, the performance in these applications is much better compared to a consumer Radeon GPU. Except for the certified drivers, the M5100 is more or less identical to the Radeon HD 8870M.
Similar to the Nvidia Quadro series, the FirePro cards offer certified drivers for professional 3D-software like CAD. The AMD FirePro M5100 is a middle-class graphics card for mobile workstations, which has been presented in mid-2013. The power consumption of the M4000 should be best suited for notebooks 15 inches or greater.ĪMD FirePro M5100 ► remove from comparison Additionally, it now allows audio to output simultaneously and in parallel to multiple devices with the new Discrete Digital Multipoint Audio (DDMA) feature. The integrated HD audio processor is able to transmit HD Audio (TrueHD or DTS Master Audio) over HDMI and DisplayPort (e.g., for Blu-Ray videos). For example, the chip may be underclocked when running FurMark and OCCT, but will overclock in certain games like Lost Planet, Crysis or Resident Evil 5. PowerTune allows automatic overclocking and underclocking of the graphics card as long as the GPU is within its TDP range.
Other features of the series include ZeroCore for reducing power consumption when the display is turned off and Power Gating to power down areas of the chip that are not used. Furthermore, the card can directly support up to 6 connected monitors using Eyefinity Technology if Enduro is disabled. Called Enduro, the technology supersedes AMD's Dynamic Switchable Graphics and is similar to Nvidia's Optimus. The FirePro M4000 also supports automatic graphics switching between the integrated GPU and discrete GPU. Overall, the card is able to run modern games (2012) in medium details and HD resolution fluently. The gaming performance should be slightly faster than the Radeon HD 7750M. The integrated 512 Stream processors of the FirePro M4000 are based on the new GCN-architecture. Due to optimizations and some unlocked features, the performance when using professional applications is more efficient with the FirePro M4000. It is based on the same Cape-Verde-chip found in the Radeon HD 7700M series.Ĭompared to the Radeon consumer line, the FirePro offers certified drivers for professional 3D applications.
