AMD FirePro™ W5000

Be Limitless,
When Every Detail Counts.

The most powerful mid-range workstation graphics
card ever created.

AMD FirePro™ W5000 is the most powerful
mid-range workstation graphics card in the market.
It delivers significantly higher performance than
the competing cards measured against a wide set
of parameters and in real world workflows.

This powerful product, designed for delivering
superior performance for CAD/CAE and Media
workflows, can process up to 1.65 billion triangles
per second. This means during the design process
you can easily interact and render your 3D models,
while the competition can only process up to 0.41 billion
triangles per second (up to four times less
performance).
of competing products (2GB vs. 1GB) and 2.5x
the memory bandwidth.

It’s the ideal solution
for professionals working with a broad range of
applications, moderately complex models and
datasets, and advanced visual effects.

Product features:

> Optimized and certified for major CAD and M&E

applications delivering 1 TFLOP of single precision
and 80 GFLOPs of double precision performance
with outstanding reliability for the most demanding
professional tasks.

> The use of GeometryBoost allows the GPU to

process geometry data at a rate of twice per clock
cycle resulting in a doubling in the rate of primitive
and vertex processing. Triangle rates increase
two-fold relative to a GPU that is not enabled
with GeometryBoost.

> Full support of DisplayPort 1.2 allows simultaneous

output of multiple, independent audio streams and
display content at resolutions beyond standard HD
(maximum resolution of 4096x2160).

> An energy-efficient design uses AMD PowerTune

technology to dynamically optimize GPU power
usage while AMD ZeroCore Power technology
significantly reduces power consumption at idle.

> The Industry-leading multi-display technology,

AMD Eyefinity, enables highly immersive and
unrivaled multi-tasking experience across up to
four displays, powered by a single AMD FirePro
W5000 graphics card.

> AMD ZeroCore Power technology leverages

AMD’s leadership in notebook power efficiency
to enable our desktop GPUs to power down
when your monitor is off, also known as the
“long idle state.”

> AMD PowerTune is an intelligent system that

performs real-time analysis of applications that
utilize a GPU. In 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 clockspeed
by up to 30% automatically.

1 AMD Eyefinity technology can support up to six DisplayPort displays using a single enabled AMD graphics card. The number of supported displays varies by card model and board design; confirm

specifications with the manufacturer before purchase. Additional hardware may be required. Utilizing DisplayPort 1.2 and Multi-Stream technology-enabled displays, connectors and/or hubs, a single
graphics card may support up to two more displays than it has display outputs; limit six displays. Microsoft® Windows® 7, Windows Vista®, or Linux® is required to support more than 2 displays; Windows
XP is no longer supported. AMD Eyefinity technology works with applications that support non-standard aspect ratios, which is required for panning across multiple displays. SLS (“Single Large Surface”)
functionality requires an identical display resolution on all displays. See www.amd.com/firepro or www.amd.com/eyefinity for details.

2 AMD FirePro™ W5000 supports DisplayPort 1.2 with a max resolution of 4096x2160, can drive three displays at once, features 2GB GDDR5 memory, a 256-bit memory interface and 102.3 GB/s memory

bandwidth. Compared to Nvidia Quadro 2000 supporting DisplayPort 1.1 with a max resolution of 2560x1600, can only drive two displays at once, features 1GB GDDR5 memory, a 128-bit memory interface
and 41.6 GB/s memory bandwidth. Visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-quadro-2000-us.html for Nvidia product details. FP-41

3 AMD FirePro™ W5000 has a triangle rate of 1.65 billion triangles per second compared to Nvidia Quadro 4000 that is capable of 410 million triangles per second. Visit http://www.nvidia.com/content/PDF/

4 Full HD resolution is considered 1080p (1920x1080 = ~2.1 megapixels). One AMD FirePro W9000 graphics card with AMD Eyefinity technology supports up to 2560x1600x6 = ~24.6 megapixels for 12 x full

HD resolution.

5 W5000 (2xDP + 1XDVI-I) supports a maximum of 5 x 2560x1600 displays (2 x DP1.2 MST (2 per DP) + 1 x native DLDVI) or 6 x 1920x1200 (2 x DP1.2 MST (3 per DP)). Based off DP1.2 bandwidth

availability for MST supports up to:4 x 1920x1200 @24bpp 60Hz displays, 2 x 2560x1600 @24bpp 60Hz displays, 1 x 4096x2160 @24bpp 60Hz display
