FirePro V5900: specs and benchmarks
Aggregate performance score
FirePro V5900 provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 3.27% of a leader's which is GeForce RTX 4090.
Summary
AMD started FirePro V5900 sales 24 May 2011. This is a TeraScale 3 architecture desktop card based on 40 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 2 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 2 GHz are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 64 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via PCIe 2.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 230 mm. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 75 Watt.
