AMD FIREPRO W4100 UPDATE THIS REVIEW
AMD FIREPRO W4100 FULL SIZED CONNECTORS

After installing the graphics card, and booting the computer, the system just sits at a black/blank screen (no sync on the monitor).Learn more about the AMD 100-505979 Model BrandBased on AMDs revolutionary Graphics Core Next architecture like all the other cards in W-Series family, AMD FirePro W4100 features four-display support, and offers a perfect solution for users who need a performance boost to address ever-evolving challenges in their workflows.The FirePro W4100 was a professional graphics card by AMD, launched on August 13th, 2014. I chose an AMD Firepro W4100 as I wish to drive 4 monitors, and it was relatively inexpensive. I have a Dell XPS 8300 and wish to upgrade the graphics card on it. XPS 8300 & AMD Firepro W4100.

It also includes a single Passive mini Display Port to DVI-D Single Link adapter. As other reviewers here have noted this card is a slightly better performer than the current generation of iGFX integrated video cards on the Ivy Bridge, Haswell and Skylake platforms which support up to three displays (but not 10-bit workflows).I notice LightRoom, PhotoShop and Premiere CC were all subjectively more 'snappy' after replacing a FirePro 2270 with this card.This card features 4 mini Display Port 1.2a interfaces capable of driving 4 4K displays natively. Only the Quadro and FirePro models from AMD & NVidia respectively providing the 10-bit color workflow that quadruples the color space and tonality required for accurate gradation. I use Gnome as my window manager.item 1 AMD FirePro W4100 2GB GDDR5 PCIE professional graphics card.100-505979 1 - AMD FirePro W4100 2GB GDDR5 PCIE professional graphics card.100-505979 155.00 item 2 AMD FirePro W4100 2GB GDDR5 4Mini DisplayPorts PCI E Video Graphics Card Long br 2 - AMD FirePro W4100 2GB GDDR5 4Mini DisplayPorts PCI E Video Graphics Card Long brThis item ATI AMD FirePro W4100 2GB GDDR5 4Mini DisplayPorts Low Profile PCI-Express Video Card 100-505979 VisionTek Radeon 7750 2GB GDDR5 6 4k Monitor Available PCIe x16 slot, 3.0 for optimal performanceInternet connection for driver installationApplication optimizations and certificationsAMD Graphics Core Next (GCN) GPU architecture4K display resolution (up to 4096 x 2160)Support for Microsoft Windows 8.1, Windows 7 and Linux (32-/64-bit)FCC, CE, C-Tick, BSMI, KCC, UL, VCCI, RoHS and WEEE compliance1 x DisplayPort to Single-Link DVI (Passive)Sapphire: AMD Firepro Products Mini BrochureAdditional Information Date First AvailablePros: For those that use computers for Digital Media creation this is a good solid card. The Cape Verde graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 123 mm and 1,500 million transistors.Microsoft Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 (32- or 64-bit)My Windows 10 Pro 64-bit computer has AMD FirePro W4100 Graphic Adapter connected with two monitors Dell u2415 and u2412.

But a half-decent video card is still needed so this card is a good compromise so I decided to forego the W4300 and used the money saved for another 16GB memory kit bough here at the Egg.Though it is not listed here this card is manufactured by Sapphire as the exclusive manufacturer for the FirePro line.Cons: I'm a little suspect of the fan on the heatsink. If you are using many layers in large files in PhotoShop you may benefit from more VRAM and might consider the W4300 instead which has twice the performance on most benchmarks and twice the VRAM and is twice the price of this card.There are very few filters in PhotoShop that can take advantage of OpenCL acceleration and for most people the upgrade with the most noticeable improvement will be to add more RAM. Hint: Windows assigns the monitors from the top DP interface down.GPU Acceleration can be activated in Adobe LightRoom & PhotoShop using current drivers from AMD.2 GB of GDDR5 is an adequate amount of VRAM for most uses. The Asus Displays are in Portrait mode and the NEC in Landscape but other orientations work as well. Under Windows 7 Pro 64-bit all displays are recognized and the Desktop extends properly. As it is DVI-D there is no analog signaling pins and the use of a passive DVI-I to VGA (D-15) Adapter will not work.At under 50W TDP this card does not require additional power connections from the power supply and in most cases should not require a power supply upgrade but you should confirm this yourself as when adding any additional hardware.I am running this card in a system with the Intel C226 Haswell chipset PCH but due to an on-board LSI RAID controller the available PCIe3.0 x16 slot only has 8 lanes available but this card still works as per the PCI specifications.The card run more quietly than a Radeon HD5670 I had installed as a test but is smaller and unlike the Radeon is only 1 slot wide and a PCIe x1 FireWire or USB3 adapter in the adjacent x4 slot does not obstruct the fan opening.I am running 2 Asus Pro Art PA248Q monitors at 1920x1200 using native Display Port connectors and a NEC P221W at 1680x1050 using the supplied passive DVI-I adapter.

Amd Firepro W4100 Full Sized Connectors

It provides good value for it's cost and if, like me, you are running a Xeon processor without Integrated Graphics is a quick way to get solid graphics supporting 3 or 4 displays easily and the ability to scale up to 6 displays using MST hubs.I purchased 2 6' and 1 10' Rosewill mini DP cables from the Egg with this card and they work well in my setup.Pros: Arrived quickly as usual, nicely packaged.Using with two Dell UP2414Q (about to add 3rd one) 60Hz. It is a capable card for Business Productivity applications where multiple displays are required as well as light and medium Digital Media content creation. This is somewhat off-set by the cables being much lighter than comparable DVI cables.Overall Review: Yes, I would recommend this product. Hopefully the same can be said if one now has to deal with Sapphire.The Mini Display Port connectors are not as rugged as the Full Sized connectors and lack a latching mechanism. I've had to RMA FirePro Cards in the past and AMD support has been a pleasure to deal with and does provide advanced replacement.

Amd Firepro W4100 Update This Review

I will update this review later on if this card fixes these issues. Dell UP2414Qs (at least early revisions, which is what I got) are notorious for having hardware/firmware bugs that make them not come out of standby mode, or power up with various noise/graphics artifacts, and I wanted to change vendors to see if the problem will go away.
