Core clock speed	650 MHz	955 MHz
Boost clock speed	no data	1030 MHz
Number of transistors	716 million	690 million
Manufacturing process technology	40 nm	28 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	199 Watt	unknown
Texture fill rate	15.60	17.10
Floating-point performance	624.0 gflops	659.2 gflops

Form Factor & Compatibility

Information on FirePro V3900 and Radeon R5 M430 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.

Passmark

This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark, part of Passmark PerformanceTest suite. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.
