Cost-effectiveness evaluation

Performance to price ratio. The higher, the better.

FirePro W9000 and HD Graphics 2500 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	2048	6
Core clock speed	975 MHz	650 MHz
Boost clock speed	no data	1150 MHz
Number of transistors	4,313 million	392 million
Manufacturing process technology	28 nm	22 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	350 Watt	unknown
Texture fill rate	124.8	6.900
Floating-point performance	3,994 gflops	13.8 gflops

Form factor & compatibility

Information on FirePro W9000 and HD Graphics 2500 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.

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	System Shared
Maximum RAM amount	6 GB	System Shared
Memory bus width	384 Bit	64/128 Bit
Memory clock speed	5500 MHz	System Shared
Memory bandwidth	264 GB/s	no data

Connectivity and outputs

Types and number of video connectors present on the reviewed GPUs. As a rule, data in this section is precise only for desktop reference ones (so-called Founders Edition for NVIDIA chips). OEM manufacturers may change the number and type of output ports, while for notebook cards availability of certain video outputs ports depends on the laptop model rather than on the card itself.
