Summary

AMD started FirePro D300 sales 18 January 2014. This is a GCN 1.0 architecture desktop card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 2 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 5.08 GHz are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 162.6 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 242 mm. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 150 Watt.

It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at

9.47%

of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
