ATI FirePro M7740: specs and benchmarks

Summary
ATI started FirePro M7740 sales 4 August 2009. This is Terascale 1 architecture notebook card based on 40 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 1 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 1000 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 54.14 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is card attached via PCIe 2.0 x16 interface. Power consumption is at 60 Watt.
It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 2.33 percent of a leader's which is AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT.
General info
Of FirePro M7740's architecture, market type and release date.
Technical specs
FirePro M7740's general performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core clock, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of FirePro M7740's performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider its benchmark and gaming test results.
Compatibility, dimensions and requirements
Information on FirePro M7740's compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. 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.
Memory
Parameters of memory installed on FirePro M7740: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors don't have dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM.
Video outputs and ports
Types and number of video connectors present on FirePro M7740. As a rule, this section is relevant only for desktop reference video cards, since for notebook ones the availability of certain video outputs depends on the laptop model.
API support
APIs supported by FirePro M7740, sometimes including their particular versions.
Benchmark performance
Non-gaming benchmark performance of FirePro M7740. Note that overall benchmark performance is measured in points in 0-100 range.
Overall score
This is our combined benchmark performance rating. We are regularly improving our combining algorithms, but if you find some perceived inconsistencies, feel free to speak up in comments section, we usually fix problems quickly.
3DMark Vantage Performance
3DMark Vantage is an outdated DirectX 10 benchmark using 1280x1024 screen resolution. It taxes the graphics card with two scenes, one depicting a girl escaping some militarized base located within a sea cave, the other displaying a space fleet attack on a defenseless planet. It was discontinued in April 2017, and Time Spy benchmark is now recommended to be used instead.
Game benchmarks
Let's see how good FirePro M7740 is for gaming. Particular gaming benchmark results are measured in FPS. Comparisons with system requirements are included, but remember that sometimes official requirements may reflect real performance inaccurately.
Relative perfomance
Overall FirePro M7740 performance compared to nearest competitors among mobile workstation video cards.
NVIDIA equivalent
We believe that the nearest equivalent to FirePro M7740 from NVIDIA is Quadro P500, which is slower by 4% and lower by 9 positions in our rating.
