About the AMD FirePro W2100 GPU

The AMD FirePro W2100 is an end-of-life workstation graphics card that released in Q3 2014. It is built on the GCN 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Oland) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The FirePro W2100 has 2 GB of DDR3 memory, with a 900 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 28.8 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 W2100 includes 320 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 630 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 680 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 20 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 8 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The FirePro W2100 is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. It supports DisplayPort 1.2 display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 200 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 26 W.
