Technical Analysis

Detailed breakdown of Firepro W4190M specifications and capabilities.

Graphics Performance

The Firepro W4190M scores 1,168 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Entry Level tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the GCN 1.0 (2012−2020) architecture (codename: Opal), manufactured on a 28 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 384 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 24 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 8 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 0.6912 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 900 MHz from a base of 825 MHz.
