Cost-effectiveness evaluation

Performance to price ratio. The higher, the better.

FirePro D500 has 121% better value for money than W7170M.

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.

Core clock speed	723 MHz	725 MHz
Number of transistors	5,000 million	4,313 million
Manufacturing process technology	28 nm	28 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	100 Watt	274 Watt
Texture fill rate	92.54	69.60
Floating-point performance	2,961 gflops	2,227 gflops

Form factor & compatibility

Information on FirePro W7170M and FirePro D500 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.
