About the NVIDIA Quadro 5010M GPU

The NVIDIA Quadro 5010M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2011. It is built on the Fermi 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GF110) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Memory

The 5010M has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 650 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 83.2 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 5010M includes 384 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 48 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 5010M has the 318th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 2.57% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the AMD FirePro W7170M GPU

The AMD FirePro W7170M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q4 2015. It is built on the GCN 3.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Amethyst) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The FirePro W7170M has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,250 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 160 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 W7170M includes 2,048 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 723 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 128 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 FirePro W7170M has the 183rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 9.28% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
