About the AMD FirePro M4000 GPU

The AMD FirePro M4000 is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2012. It is built on the GCN 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Chelsea) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The FirePro M4000 has 1,024 MB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,000 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 64 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The FirePro M4000 includes 512 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 600 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 32 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 33 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The FirePro M4000 has the 363rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.89% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA Quadro K3000M GPU

The NVIDIA Quadro K3000M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2012. It is built on the Kepler GPU microarchitecture (codename GK104) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The K3000M has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 700 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 89.6 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The K3000M includes 576 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 654 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 654 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 48 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 75 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The K3000M has the 330th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 2.32% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
