Next-Generation Display Capabilities
With four DisplayPort outputs, each AMD FirePro W5100 graphics card supports AMD Eyefinity technology and is capable of driving up to four 4K displays, helping users to efficiently multitask across multiple applications and displays. Unlike its predecessor, AMD FirePro W5100 cards also support DisplayPort 1.2a and its new Adaptive-Sync feature.
Reliable and Optimized Application Performance
AMD works with leading software vendors to certify more than 100 applications across the entire AMD FirePro product family, to ensure fast and reliable performance users can count on. AMD FirePro graphics drivers are rigorously tested and optimized for a wide variety of professional graphics applications to ensure optimal performance and improved reliability.
Features and Benefits
AMD Graphics Core Next (GCN)Architecture: Efficiently balances compute tasks with 3D workloads, enabling multitasking that is designed to optimize utilization and maximize performance.
Reliable Drivers: Multiple AMD FirePro professional graphics driver versions are released several times each year and include performance and feature improvements. Every version undergoes a minimum of 16 consecutive weeks of testing conducted by three dedicated quality groups. AMD quality groups perform both manual and automated testing using the most stressful scenarios their engineers are able to create, plus many challenging ones from their ISV partners and OEM customers.
DirectGMA (Direct Graphics Memory Access): Bypasses any need to traverse the host's main memory, reducing CPU utilization and avoiding redundant transfers over PCIe, resulting in high throughput, low latency data transfers.
Geometry Boost: Allows the GPU to process geometry data at a rate of twice per clock cycle. Triangle rates increase two-fold relative to a GPU that does not possess Geometry Boost.
AMD Eyefinity Multidisplay Technology: Enables highly immersive and powerful multitasking experiences across multiple displays. Each AMD FirePro W5100 is capable of driving up to four displays at 4K resolutions.
DisplayPort 1.2a and Adaptive-Sync Support: Simultaneously outputs multiple independent audio streams and display content at resolutions beyond standard HD (maximum resolution of 4096 x 2160). Adaptive-Sync enables FreeSync technology from AMD that allows GPU control of display refresh rates for tear-free and jitter-free image quality when rotating models or viewing video content
1.43 TFLOPS of Peak Single Precision Floating Point Performance: Helps speed up time required to complete single precision operations used within Video Enhancement, Signal Processing, Video Transcoding and Digital Rendering applications.
OpenCL 2.0: AMD FirePro W5100 cards are designed to support OpenCL 2.0. Tap into the parallel computing power of its GPU and get up to 1.43 TFLOPS of peak single precision compute power to accelerate compute-intensive tasks.
AMD PowerTune Technology: Performs real-time analysis of applications that utilize a GPU. In the event that an application is not making the most of the power available to the GPU, AMD PowerTune technology can improve that application's performance by raising the GPU's clock speed by up to 30% automatically.
Future-ready for 4K: Equipped with four DisplayPort outputs with DisplayPort 1.2a support and six display engines, the AMD FirePro W5100 can drive up to three 4K displays at 60 Hz or drive up to four 4K displays at 30 Hz.
