Recorded specifications

GPUOland-class GCN; 320 stream processors.
Memory2 GB DDR3, 128-bit memory interface.
Interface & powerPCI Express 3.0 x16-length connector (x8 electrical); 26 W maximum board-power class; no auxiliary PCIe power socket.
OutputsTwo Mini DisplayPort 1.2 connectors. Resolution, multi-display limits and adapter support depend on the driver, display and active/passive adapter.
Physical fitSingle-slot, low-profile-capable board with a compact cooler. Check the exact bracket, board length and neighboring-slot clearance of the OEM card before installation.

Workstation & driver compatibility

Intended for entry-level professional multi-display and 2D/CAD use, not current high-performance rendering. Confirm a PCIe x16 slot, chassis bracket/clearance and supported monitor adapters.

  • FirePro is an end-of-life driver family. Select an archived AMD FirePro/Radeon Pro Enterprise release that explicitly lists W2100 and the target operating system; newer consumer Radeon packages are not a compatibility guarantee.
  • Legacy application certifications apply only to named software, driver branches and workstation configurations. Check the application's certified-hardware matrix and the OEM workstation BIOS/slot support.
  • Before service, record the part label, subsystem ID, driver and firmware; inspect the MiniDP sockets and heatsink for damage or obstruction.
