AMD has paired 2,048 MB GDDR5 memory with the FirePro W4100, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. It features 512 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, and 16 ROPs. Unlike the fully unlocked Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition, which uses the same GPU but has all 640 shaders enabled, AMD has disabled some shading units on the FirePro W4100 to reach the product's target shader count. The Cape Verde graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 123 mm² and 1,500 million transistors. Built on the 28 nm process, and based on the Cape Verde graphics processor, in its Cape Verde PRO GL variant, the card supports DirectX 12. Motherboard : It is Dell T-7500 workstation about 7 years oldĬan't find consumer cards that are latest for the same or better priceĬlosest comes AMD FirePro W4100 but it is PCIe 3.0 & my slots are PCIe 2.The FirePro W4100 was a professional graphics card by AMD, launched on August 13th, 2014. Some issues mentioned in #5 could be resolved with a mobo BIOS update. Other new things to focus are simply new hardware that could be defective, new hardware that expects a particular PCIe version, new hardware that draws too much PCIe bus power etc etc.Ħ. GDDR5 should in theory have absolutely nothing to do with anything since faster RAM has no exposed surface to the software. Consider returning the expensive Workstation card and buying 3 consumer cards for the same money to get current technology which would have better driver support.ĥ. Consider that new card could be defective.Ĥ.

You might have 'End of Life' driver issues with cards that old.ģ. provide Windows version, motherboard details and BIOS version, Card details and on-board BIOS version, Driver versions.Ģ. Not enough information has been provided to even begin to guess on the nature of the problem.ġ. What seems to be a problem ? Is it because new card has GDDR5 instead of GDDR3 that other two cards have & thus it is not compatible with two other cards ? All cards are identical except the new one has GDDR5 instead of GDDR3.

So I have to shut down the CPU using start button & Restart it & again all 12 monitors start working.īut then if I play YouTube videos, new card crashes after a while. So 4 monitors that are connected to that video card goes blank & also keyboard & mouse freezes. Now whenever I play YouTube videos, the new card crashes after few minutes. But new one has identical specs except it has GDDR5 instead of GDDR3. Recently one of the cards died so I bought a new one. I never had any problem with setup for last 5 years. I have been using this setup or last 5 years for displaying stock charts & using other regular applications including playing YouTube & regular videos. I have 12 Monitor setup that is run by three ATI FirePro 2460 GDDR3 512 MB cards.Įach card has 4 ports so each runs 4 monitors.

Amd firepro w4100 three monitors
