FirePro M4170: specs and benchmarks
Aggregated performance score
FirePro M4170 provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 2.89% of a leader's which is GeForce RTX 4090.
Summary
AMD started FirePro M4170 sales 23 April 2015. This is a GCN 1.0 architecture notebook card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 1 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 4 GB/s are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 64 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is card attached via PCIe 3.0 x8 interface.

Form factor & compatibility
Information on FirePro M4170's compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. 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.
| Interface | PCIe 3.0 x8 | |
| Supplementary power connectors | None |
VRAM capacity and type
Parameters of memory installed on FirePro M4170: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM instead.
| Memory type | GDDR5 | |
| Maximum RAM amount | 1 GB | of 192 (Radeon Instinct MI300X) |
| Memory bus width | 128 Bit | of 8192 (Radeon Instinct MI250X) |
| Memory clock speed | 4 GB/s | of 23000 (GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER) |
| Memory bandwidth | 64 GB/s | of 3276 (Aldebaran) |
Connectivity and outputs
