About the AMD FirePro M4100 GPU

The AMD FirePro M4100 is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q4 2013. It is built on the GCN 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Mars) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The FirePro M4100 has 2 GB 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 M4100 includes 384 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 670 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 24 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 8 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Benchmark Performance

The FirePro M4100 has the 386th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.65% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA Quadro 3000M GPU

The NVIDIA Quadro 3000M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2011. It is built on the Fermi GPU microarchitecture (codename GF104) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Memory

The 3000M has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 625 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 80 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 3000M includes 240 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 450 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 40 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 3000M has the 406th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.47% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
