The FirePro D500 is compared to the GeForce GT 650M (Macbook Pro) and a Radeon HD 5770 ( hackintosh setup). Graphics settings for all tests: 1920×1080 fullscreen, no AA, 60 seconds. Only one FirePro D500 is OpenGL-ized in this benchmareking session. A 256-GB SSD is fixed on the right graphics card.įor this quick test, I used GpuTest 0.7.0 for Mac OS X. The I/O connectors include four USB 3 ports, 6 thunderbolt ports, two Gigabit-Ethernet and one HDMI 1.4 ports: GL_RENDERER: AMD Radeon HD - FirePro D500 OpenGL Engine Some basic OpenGL info for the FirePro D500 under OS X 10.9:

So with current FirePro drivers, do not forget to check hardware limits! The bug was not visible with a Radeon HD 5000/6000 or a GeForce under OS X. 17 vertex attribs were used in a demo (which is clearly a bug) and only the FirePro D500/D700 (not tested on D300) crashed when the GL_MAX_VERTEX_ATTRIBS limit was exceeded. I recently fixed a bug that occurred only on FirePro Dxxx under OS X 10.9 related to the max number of generic vertex attribs that can be used (GL_MAX_VERTEX_ATTRIBS = 16 on most GPUs including the FirePro Dxxx). The FirePro D500 is an OpenGL 4.4 capable graphics hardware (limited to OpenGL 4.1 under OSX 10.9) and supports OpenCL 1.2.Ī quick note for OpenGL developers: it seems that FirePro drivers for D300/D500/D700 under OS X are very sensitive when it comes to hardware limits. The 1536 stream processors are spread over 24 compute units. The FirePro D500 is based on a variation of the Tahiti GPU and packs 1536 stream processors (and not 1526 as it’s mentioned on the spec page): Download for Windows 8 and 7 (64-bit) Download for Windows 10. OpenGL 4.6 support is available for Windows and Linux in our general release drivers available here: Windows. I had the opportunity yesterday (thanks to anirul) to quickly test one of the new Mac Pro (a late 2013 model) equipped with two FirePro D500 graphics cards. This page provides links to both general release drivers that support OpenGL 4.6, and developer beta drivers that support upcoming OpenGL features.
