AMD FirePro W4170M vs AMD FirePro W5170M
AMD FirePro W4170M ► remove from comparison
The AMD FirePro W4170M is a professional workstation graphics card for laptops . It is based on the same Mars chip as the AMD Radeon HD 8790M and similarly clocked. Therefore, the GPU takes position in the mid-range of mobile laptop graphics cards as of 2013. Thanks to its optimized drivers, the W4170M offers a very good performance in professional 3D applications like CAD, while the gaming performance is similar to a Nvidia GeForce GT 750M .
The AMD FirePro M4100 series is based on the GCN architecture and therefore supports DirectX 11.2. The 384 shader cores can also be used with OpenCL as 6 compute units.
The AMD FirePro W4170M was first announced in the Dell Precision M2800 which is remarkably similar to the Dell Latitude E6540 (see our review) that offers a AMD Radeon HD 8790M.
AMD FirePro W5170M ► remove from comparison
The AMD FirePro W5170M is a high-end graphics card for mobile workstations . It is based on the same chip as the AMD Radeon R9 M370X, but it is higher clocked.
The FirePro series offers certified drivers that are optimized for stability and performance in professional applications like CAD or DCC. OpenGL performance, for example, should be significantly better compared to GeForce graphics cards of similar specifications.
