AMD FirePro V4900: specs and benchmarks
Summary
AMD started FirePro V4900 sales 1 November 2011. This is a TeraScale 2 architecture desktop card based on 40 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 1 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 4 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 64 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via PCIe 2.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 163 mm. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 75 Watt.
It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 2.51% of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
