Cost-effectiveness evaluation

Performance to price ratio. The higher, the better.

FirePro W5000 and HD Graphics (Braswell) have a nearly equal value for money.

Detailed specifications

General performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core base clock and boost clock speeds, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider their benchmark and gaming test results. Note that power consumption of some graphics cards can well exceed their nominal TDP, especially when overclocked.

Pipelines / CUDA cores	768	16
Core clock speed	825 MHz	320 MHz
Boost clock speed	no data	700 MHz
Number of transistors	2,800 million	no data
Manufacturing process technology	28 nm	14 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	75 Watt	no data
Texture fill rate	39.60	no data
Floating-point performance	1,267 gflops	no data

Form factor & compatibility

Information on FirePro W5000 and HD Graphics (Braswell) 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.

Bus support	PCIe 3.0	no data
Interface	PCIe 3.0 x16	no data
Length	183 mm	no data
Width	1-slot	no data
Form factor	full height / half length	no data
Supplementary power connectors	None	no data

VRAM capacity and type

Parameters of VRAM installed: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Integrated GPUs have no dedicated video RAM and use a shared part of system RAM.

Memory type	GDDR5	no data
Maximum RAM amount	2 GB	no data
Memory bus width	256 Bit	64/128 Bit
Memory clock speed	3200 MHz	no data
