Cost-effectiveness evaluation

Performance to price ratio. The higher, the better.

Detailed specifications

General performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core base clock and boost clock speeds, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider their benchmark and gaming test results. Note that power consumption of some graphics cards can well exceed their nominal TDP, especially when overclocked.

Pipelines / CUDA cores	480	no data
Core clock speed	500 MHz	290 MHz
Number of transistors	716 million	60 million
Manufacturing process technology	40 nm	150 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	33 Watt	23 Watt
Texture fill rate	12.00	1.740
Floating-point performance	480.0 gflops	no data

Form factor & compatibility

Information on FirePro M2000 and Radeon 7500 compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop video cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility). For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.

Laptop size	medium sized	no data
Bus support	n/a	no data
Interface	PCIe 2.0 x16	AGP 4x
Width	no data	1-slot
Form factor	chip-down	no data
Supplementary power connectors	no data	None

VRAM capacity and type

Parameters of VRAM installed: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Integrated GPUs have no dedicated video RAM and use a shared part of system RAM.

Memory type	GDDR5	DDR
Maximum RAM amount	1 GB	64 MB
Memory bus width	64 Bit	128 Bit
Memory clock speed	3200 MHz	460 MHz
Memory bandwidth	25.6 GB/s	7.36 GB/s

Connectivity and outputs

Types and number of video connectors present on the reviewed GPUs. As a rule, data in this section is precise only for desktop reference ones (so-called Founders Edition for NVIDIA chips). OEM manufacturers may change the number and type of output ports, while for notebook cards availability of certain video outputs ports depends on the laptop model rather than on the card itself.

Display Connectors	No outputs	1x DVI, 1x VGA, 1x S-Video
StereoOutput3D	1	no data

API compatibility

List of supported graphics and general-purpose computing APIs, including their specific versions.

DirectX	11.2 (11_0)	7.0
Shader Model	5.0	no data
OpenGL	4.4	1.3
OpenCL	1.2	N/A
Vulkan	N/A	N/A
