The AMD FirePro™ W4100 professional
graphics card represents a completely
new class of product – one that provides
you with great graphics performance
and display versatility while housed in a
compact, low-power design.
Increase your productivity by working across up to four high-resolution displays with AMD Eyefinity
technology.1 Manipulate 3D models and large data sets with ease thanks to 2GB of ultrafast GDDR5
memory. With a stable driver that supports a growing list of optimized and certified applications, the
AMD FirePro W4100 is uniquely suited to provide the performance and quality you expect, and more,
from a professional graphics card.
Peformance
Get solid, midrange performance with the AMD FirePro W4100, delivering CAD performance that is up
to 100% faster than the previous generation2. Equipped with 2GB of ultrafast GDDR5 memory with a
128-bit memory interface, the AMD FirePro W4100 delivers up to 72GB/s of memory bandwidth, helping
improve application responsiveness to your workflows. Accelerate your 3D applications with 512 stream
processors and enable more ecient data transfers between the GPU and CPU with PCIe® 3.0 support.
Innovation
The AMD FirePro W4100 is equipped with industry-leading AMD Eyefinity technology which enables
a highly immersive and unrivaled multitasking experience across up to four displays1, powered by a
single AMD FirePro W4100 graphics card. See your designs in more detail with support for up to 4K
resolution via DisplayPort 1.2a. The AMD FirePro W4100 has unique power monitoring and management
technologies such as AMD ZeroCore Power technology and AMD PowerTune technology3, giving you
great performance while consuming less than 50W of power.
Quality
AMD works with leading software vendors to certify more than 100 applications across the entire
AMD FirePro™ product family, to ensure compatibility and reliable performance users can count on.
Every AMD FirePro driver is rigorously tested and optimized for a wide variety of professional graphics
applications to ensure optimal performance and stability. Unlike consumer graphics that are built and
sold by multiple partners, AMD FirePro W4100 graphics cards are designed and built exclusively by AMD,
delivering consistent quality, performance and reliability.

Energy-efficient Design
The AMD FirePro™ professional graphics family is certified on more than 100 different applications for improved
performance and reliability, including the most popular design and engineering and media and entertainment applications.
AMD FirePro™ professional graphics driver versions are released several times each year and include performance and
feature improvements. Every version undergoes a minimum of 16 consecutive weeks of testing conducted by three
dedicated quality groups. AMD quality groups perform both manual and automated testing using the most stressful
scenarios our engineers are able to create, plus many challenging ones from our ISV partners and OEM customers.
The AMD FirePro W4100 is based on the AMD Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture, designed to effortlessly balance GPU
compute and 3D workloads efficiently.
Equipped with 2GB of ultra-fast GDDR5 memory, the W4100 can accelerate applications and process computationally
complex workflows with ease.
Industry-leading multidisplay technology enabling highly immersive and unrivaled multi-tasking experience across up to
four displays1, powered by a single AMD FirePro™ W4100 graphics card.
Let professionals tap into the parallel computing power of modern GPUs and multicore CPUs to accelerate computeintensive tasks. The AMD FirePro W4100 supports OpenCL™ 1.2, allowing developers to take advantage of new features that
give GPUs more freedom to do the work they are designed to do. OpenCL 1.2 conformance expected.
AMD FirePro W4100 supports unique power monitoring and management technologies, and has a maximum power
consumption of 50 watts. AMD PowerTune technology dynamically optimizes GPU power usage and AMD ZeroCore Power
technology significantly reduces power consumption at long idle3.
AMD ZeroCore Power Technology
AMD ZeroCore Power technology leverages AMD's leadership in notebook power efficiency to grant our desktop GPUs the
ability to power down when they are not actively in use, also known as the "long idle state”3.
AMD PowerTune technology is an intelligent system that performs real-time analysis of applications that utilize a GPU. In
AMD PowerTune Technology
the event that an application is not making the most of the power available to the GPU, AMD PowerTune can improve that
application's performance by raising the GPU's clock speed by up to 30% automatically3.
Equipped with four discrete mini DisplayPort outputs with DisplayPort 1.2a support and six display engines, the
Future-ready for 4K
AMD FirePro W4100 can drive up to three 4K displays at 60 Hz or drive up to four 4K displays at 30 Hz1. 4K displays and
content required.

1. AMD Eyefinity technology supports up to six DisplayPort™ monitors on an enabled graphics card. Supported display quantity, type and resolution vary by model and board design;
confirm specifications with manufacturer before purchase. To enable more than two displays, or multiple displays from a single output, additional hardware such as DisplayPort-ready
monitors or DisplayPort 1.2 MST-enabled hubs may be required. A maximum of two active adapters is recommended for consumer systems. See www.amd.com/eyefinityfaq for full
details.
2. AMD FirePro™ W4100 outperforms AMD FirePro™ V3900 on the CAD application viewsets in SPECviewperf® 12, including Creo-01 (100% faster), Catia-04, SNX-02 and SW-03. AMD lab
test system configuration: Intel E5-1660 3.3GHz, 16GB RAM, Win7 64bit, AMD 14.30 beta. FP-104
3. AMD PowerTune and AMD ZeroCore Power are technologies offered by certain AMD FirePro™ products, which are designed to intelligently manage GPU power consumption in response
to certain GPU load conditions. Not all products feature all technologies – check with your component or system manufacturer for specific model capabilities.
