Which one is better, AMD FirePro W5000 or W5100?

Hi guys, i have a doubt in this, AMD Firepro W5000 is 256 bit memory bus while a later released W5100 is 128 bit memory bus interface... So which is one is having better stability?

Hi, your softwares ?

the memory bus will not determine stability, more as such a pathway for Vram to be accessed. The larger the bus the larger the pathway.

^^ What they said.

The bus size is merely the number of physical pathways to transfer data. The more of them there are, the more data can be accessed simultaneously enabling overall a faster data transfer rate. So - given a similar price, having a wider data path enables a faster card.

Stability is another thing entirely. That is determined by the drivers, and that being said if it is a FirePro series card, that means it's a professional usage model card and that means stability is one of the main features. In general FirePro (and Nvidia Quadro) series cards have usually undergone extensive testing to ensure rock-solid stability as opposed to the general consumer cards which have a much more relaxed attitude towards bugs.

So - if it's a FirePro card, the drivers will be rock-solid. If it's a 256bit bus, then it'll be plenty fast.

3dsmax, autocad, photoshop, illustartor.

Got it, but again i doubt the difference in compute performance of both
W5000 have 1.3 TFLOPs single precision and 79.2 GFLOPs double precision floating point performance &
W5100 have 1.43 TFLOPS peak single precision and 89.2 GFLOPS peak double precision floating point performance.

Both are good, but Let me know which card will perform well for 3dsmax, vray, photoshop, autocad.

Ouch
3DSmax and Photoshop will benefit more than Autocad from a normal gaming CUDA card, so a GTX 970 will work fine due to the CUDA cores number

But Autocad need a "pro" card to enable some options, here a gaming card will do anything

You have to make a choice, or if you have budget get both of CUDA gaming card and a firepro card

Bah - sorry I misread that, Thought the 5100 was with the 256bus, not the 128 bus. Generational changes in the processor do make a difference (ie: Sandy Bridge vs Haswell in IPC counts). Sadly, imagine then what a 5100 on a 256bit bus would do?

As for the software, others are better suited to answering that.
