AMD FirePro W5170M

► remove from comparison AMD FirePro W5170M

The AMD FirePro W5170M is a high-end graphics card for mobile workstations. It is based on the same chip as the AMD Radeon R9 M370X, but it is higher clocked.

The FirePro series offers certified drivers that are optimized for stability and performance in professional applications like CAD or DCC. OpenGL performance, for example, should be significantly better compared to GeForce graphics cards of similar specifications.

AMD FirePro W5130M

► remove from comparison AMD FirePro W5130M

The AMD FirePro W5130M is a mid-range graphics card for mobile workstations. It offers 512 shader cores and a 128-bit GDDR5 graphics memory system. Therefore, currently there is no direct consumer counterpart. The Radeon R9 M265X for example offers 640 shaders at a lower clock speed.

The FirePro series offers certified drivers that are optimized for stability and performance in professional applications like CAD or DCC. OpenGL performance, for example, should be significantly better compared to GeForce graphics cards of similar specifications.
