About the AMD FirePro W4170M GPU

The AMD FirePro W4170M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2014. It is built on the GCN 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Mars) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The FirePro W4170M 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 W4170M includes 384 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 825 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 900 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 W4170M has the 342nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 2.21% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 Mobile GPU

The NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 Mobile is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q2 2019. It is built on the Turing GPU microarchitecture (codename TU104) and is manufactured on a 12 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 4000 Mobile has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,750 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 448 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 RTX 4000 Mobile includes 2,560 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,110 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,560 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 160 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 320 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 40 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 110 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The RTX 4000 Mobile has the 93rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 24.26% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
