The most powerful mid-range workstation graphics 
card ever created.
AMD FirePro™ W5000  is the most powerful 
mid-range workstation graphics card in the market. 
It delivers signiﬁcantly higher performance than 
the competing cards measured against a wide set 
of parameters and in real world workﬂows.3
This powerful product, designed for delivering 
superior performance for CAD/CAE and Media 
workﬂows, can process up to 1.65 billion triangles 
per second. This means during the design process 
you can easily interact and render your 3D models, 
while the competition can only process up to 0.41 billion 
triangles per second (up to four times less 
performance).3 It also offers double the memory  
of competing products (2GB vs. 1GB) and 2.5x  
the memory bandwidth.3 It’s the ideal solution  
for professionals working with a broad range of 
applications, moderately complex models and 
datasets, and advanced visual effects.
Product features: 
 >  Optimized and certiﬁed for major CAD and M&E 
applications delivering 1 TFLOP of single precision 
and 80 GFLOPs of double precision performance 
with outstanding reliability for the most demanding 
professional tasks.
 >  The use of GeometryBoost allows the GPU to 
process geometry data at a rate of twice per clock 
cycle resulting in a doubling in the rate of primitive 
and vertex processing. Triangle rates increase  
two-fold relative to a GPU that is not enabled  
with GeometryBoost. 
 >  Full support of DisplayPort 1.2 allows simultaneous 
output of  multiple, independent audio streams and 
display content at resolutions beyond standard HD 
(maximum resolution of 4096x2160).2,4
 >  An energy-efﬁcient design uses AMD PowerTune 
technology to dynamically optimize GPU power 
usage while AMD ZeroCore Power technology 
signiﬁcantly reduces power consumption at idle.
 >  The Industry-leading multi-display technology,  
AMD Eyeﬁnity,  enables highly immersive and 
unrivaled multi-tasking experience across up to  
four displays, powered by a single AMD FirePro
TM 
W5000 graphics card.1
 >  AMD ZeroCore Power technology leverages  
AMD’s leadership in notebook power efﬁciency  
to enable our desktop GPUs to power down  
when your monitor is off, also known as the  
“long idle state.”
 >  AMD PowerTune is an intelligent system that 
performs real-time analysis of applications that 
utilize a GPU. In the event that an application is not 
making the most of the power available to the GPU, 
AMD PowerTune can improve that application’s 
performance by raising the GPU’s clockspeed  
by up to 30% automatically.
 >  Video Codec Engine (VCE)—A multi-stream 
hardware H.264 HD encoder in the AMD FirePro™ 
W5000 results in power-efﬁcient and quick  
video encoding.

™ W5000 
Key Features:
 > Utilizes Graphics Core Next (GCN) to 
efﬁciently balance compute tasks with 
3D workloads, enabling multi-tasking 
that is designed to optimize utilization 
and maximize performance.

responsiveness in your workﬂow, 
whether in advanced visualization, 
complex models, large data sets or 
video editing. 
 > AMD ZeroCore Power Technology 
enables your GPU to power down when 
your monitor is off.
 > GeometryBoost— the GPU processes 
geometry data at a rate of twice per 
clock cycle, doubling the rate of primitive 
and vertex processing.

Industry-leading multi-display 
technology enabling highly immersive 
and unrivaled multi-tasking experience 
across up to 4 displays, powered by a 
single AMD FirePro™ W5000 card and 
up to six utilizing DisplayPort 1.2.1,2
 > DisplayPort 1.2  compliant, allowing for 
display of content at resolutions beyond 
standard HD.4 
 > Energy Efﬁcient Design— AMD 
PowerTune technology dynamically 
optimizes GPU power usage and AMD 
ZeroCore Power technology signiﬁcantly 
reduces  power consumption at idle.
