About the AMD FirePro M6100 GPU

The AMD FirePro M6100 is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q4 2013. It is built on the GCN 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Saturn) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The FirePro M6100 has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,375 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 88 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 M6100 includes 768 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,100 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 48 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Benchmark Performance

The FirePro M6100 has the 238th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 5.13% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA Quadro K5000M GPU

The NVIDIA Quadro K5000M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q3 2012. It is built on the Kepler GPU microarchitecture (codename GK104) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The K5000M has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 750 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 96 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 K5000M includes 1,344 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 601 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 601 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 112 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 100 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The K5000M has the 251st best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 4.68% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
