AMD FirePro V7900: specs and benchmarks

Summary

AMD started FirePro V7900 sales 24 May 2011. This is TeraScale 3 architecture desktop card based on 40 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 2 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 5 GHz are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 160 GB / s.

Compatibility-wise, this is 1-slot card attached via PCIe 2.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 279 mm. 1x 6-pin power connector is required, and power consumption is at 151 Watt.

It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 15.38 percent of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 SLI Mobile.
