About the AMD FirePro M5950 GPU

The AMD FirePro M5950 is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2011. It is built on the TeraScale 2 GPU microarchitecture (codename Whistler) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Memory

The FirePro M5950 has 1,024 MB of GDDR5 memory, with a 900 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 57.6 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 FirePro M5950 includes 480 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 725 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 24 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 8 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 35 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The FirePro M5950 has the 420th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 1.29% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA Quadro P3000 GPU

The NVIDIA Quadro P3000 is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2017. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP104) and is manufactured on a 16 nm process.

Memory

The P3000 has 6 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,752 MHz memory clock and a 192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 168.2 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 P3000 includes 1,280 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,088 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,215 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 80 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 48 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 P3000 has the 161st best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 11.57% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
