About the AMD FirePro W5130M GPU

The AMD FirePro W5130M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q4 2015. It is built on the GCN 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Tropo) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The FirePro W5130M 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 W5130M includes 512 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 900 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 925 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 32 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Benchmark Performance

The FirePro W5130M has the 295th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 541 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 2.97% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q4 2014. It is built on the Maxwell 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GM204) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 980M has 8 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,253 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 160.4 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 GTX 980M includes 1,536 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,038 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,127 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 96 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 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 GTX 980M has the 155th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 541 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 11.95% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
