AMD FirePro S9000: specs and benchmarks

AMD started FirePro S9000 sales 24 August 2012 at a recommended price of $2,499. This is GCN 1.0 architecture desktop card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 6 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 5.5 GHz are supplied, and together with 384 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 264 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is Dual-slot card attached via PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 267 mm. 1x 8-pin power connector is required, and power consumption is at 350 Watt.

It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 23.31 percent of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti.

Of FirePro S9000's architecture, market type and release date.

FirePro S9000's general performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core clock, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of FirePro S9000's performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider its benchmark and gaming test results.

Information on FirePro S9000's 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).

Parameters of memory installed on FirePro S9000: 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.

Types and number of video connectors present on FirePro S9000. 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.

APIs supported by FirePro S9000, sometimes including their particular versions.

Non-gaming benchmarks performance of FirePro S9000. Note that overall benchmark performance is measured in points in 0-100 range.

Cryptocurrency mining performance of FirePro S9000. Usually measured in megahashes per second.

Let's see how good FirePro S9000 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.
