The FirePro M5950 was a professional graphics card by AMD, launched in January 2011. Built on the 40 nm process, and based on the Whistler graphics processor, in its Whistler XT GL variant, the card supports DirectX 11.2. The Whistler graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 104 mm² and 716 million transistors. It features 480 shading units, 24 texture mapping units and 8 ROPs. AMD has placed 1,024 MB GDDR5 memory on the card, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 725 MHz, memory is running at 900 MHz.
Being a mxm module card, its power draw is rated at 35 W maximum. This device has no display connectivity, as it is not designed to have monitors connected to it.
