AMD Radeon E9175 PCIe Specifications

Radeon E9175 PCIe GPU Core

Shader units and compute resources

The AMD Radeon E9175 PCIe GPU core specifications define its raw processing power for graphics and compute workloads. Shading units (also called CUDA cores, stream processors, or execution units depending on manufacturer) handle the parallel calculations required for rendering. TMUs (Texture Mapping Units) process texture data, while ROPs (Render Output Units) handle final pixel output. Higher shader counts generally translate to better GPU benchmark performance, especially in demanding games and 3D applications.

About AMD Radeon E9175 PCIe

AMD Radeon E9175 PCIe is a 14nm embedded graphics solution built on the GCN 4.0 architecture, featuring a Lexa chip with 2,200 million transistors on a 103 mm² die. It is positioned for compact, low-power systems, offering a 50th percentile performance ranking among all GPUs, which places it squarely in the mid-range of the database's tracked hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The AMD Radeon E9175 PCIe delivers a compute profile defined by its 512 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, and 16 render output units. Its peak FP32 throughput is measured at 1,248.3 GFLOPS, with a matching FP16 output of 1,248.3 GFLOPS, indicating a 1:1 ratio between the two precision formats, a notable characteristic for workloads that do not benefit from reduced-precision acceleration. The card sustains a base clock of 1124 MHz and boosts to 1219 MHz, yielding a pixel rate of 19.50 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 39.01 GTexel/s.

Given a percentile rank of 50, the E9175 sits at the exact median of all GPUs in the database. This means half of the tracked graphics cards outperform it, while the other half fall behind, a statistical midpoint that suggests balanced, if not class-leading, performance. In practical terms, the data indicates the card is adequate for legacy or light-to-moderate graphical tasks, but it will struggle with modern high-end gaming or compute-intensive rendering. The lack of any rival entries in the nearestRivals field means there are no direct comparative deltas to cite; however, the percentile figure alone frames the E9175 as a middle-of-the-road performer within the broader hardware landscape.

The FP32 and FP16 parity is particularly telling. Many contemporary GPUs double their FP16 throughput to accelerate AI or media workloads, but the E9175's 1:1 ratio suggests it was not designed with such optimizations in mind. Instead, its compute capabilities are uniform across precision types, which simplifies driver support but limits its appeal for specialized tasks. The 50W TDP, combined with these throughput figures, implies an efficiency profile that prioritizes power conservation over raw speed, a trade-off consistent with embedded applications.

How It Compares

The FACT PACK provides no nearestRivals entries for the AMD Radeon E9175 PCIe, so a rival-by-rival breakdown is not possible from the available data. The benchmark database currently lists zero comparable GPUs in proximity to this card, which is unusual but not unprecedented for embedded or specialized hardware. In the absence of direct competitors, the percentile rank of 50 serves as the only external reference point.

This lack of comparative data means the E9175's position must be inferred from its own specifications. With a 128-bit memory bus and 4 GB of GDDR5, it aligns with entry-level discrete GPUs from its 2017 era, but its embedded focus likely means it was deployed in industrial PCs, kiosks, or medical imaging systems rather than consumer desktops. The single-slot design and absence of power connectors further reinforce this niche positioning. Against hypothetical modern equivalents, the 14nm process node and GCN 4.0 architecture are dated, but the 50th percentile suggests it has aged predictably, neither obsolete nor competitive with current mid-range parts.

Ray Tracing and Feature Set

The AMD Radeon E9175 PCIe includes no dedicated ray tracing cores and no tensor cores, as these fields are null in the FACT PACK. This absence is consistent with its GCN 4.0 architecture, which predates AMD's ray tracing hardware by several generations. Consequently, the card offers no hardware-accelerated ray tracing capabilities, and any such effects would need to be handled via software fallbacks, which would severely tax its 1,248.3 GFLOPS FP32 throughput.

The feature set is instead defined by its API support. DirectX 12 (12_0) is fully supported, as are OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.3. This trio of APIs ensures broad compatibility with modern operating systems and applications, provided they do not require ray tracing or advanced AI features. The Vulkan 1.3 support is notably current, indicating that driver updates have kept pace with API evolution despite the card's age. The display output is limited to 5x mini-DisplayPort 1.4a connectors, which is a high count for a single-slot card and suggests multi-monitor setups are a primary use case, common in control rooms or financial trading floors.

The absence of tensor cores also means no hardware acceleration for machine learning inference or DLSS-style upscaling. All such workloads would run on the shader units, which are already modest in number. For embedded applications, this is acceptable, as the card's intended tasks, 2D rendering, video playback, or light 3D visualization, do not demand such features. The PCIe 3.0 x8 interface provides adequate bandwidth for its 96.00 GB/s memory throughput, though a full x16 slot would offer more headroom for data transfer.

FAQ

Q: What is the memory configuration of the AMD Radeon E9175 PCIe?

A: The card features 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 96.00 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory operates at 1500 MHz, which translates to 6 Gbps effective data rate.

Q: Does the E9175 support hardware ray tracing?

A: No. The FACT PACK lists no ray tracing cores and no tensor cores, so the card relies entirely on its 512 shading units for all rendering tasks. Ray tracing, if attempted, would be processed through software, with performance limited by the 1,248.3 GFLOPS FP32 compute.

Q: What is the power requirement for this graphics card?

A: The E9175 has a 50W TDP and requires no external power connectors, drawing all its power from the PCIe slot. It is a single-slot card, making it suitable for compact embedded systems.

Q: Which API versions are supported?

A: The card supports DirectX 12 (12_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3. This ensures compatibility with current software ecosystems, though the lack of newer feature levels means some advanced effects may be unavailable.

Q: How many displays can the E9175 drive simultaneously?

A: It provides 5x mini-DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, allowing for up to five independent displays. This makes it well-suited for multi-monitor configurations in professional or industrial environments.

Q: What is the production status of this GPU?

A: The AMD Radeon E9175 PCIe is marked as end-of-life, having been released on 2017-10-02. It is no longer in active production, so availability is limited to existing stock or secondary markets.

Memory Subsystem

The memory subsystem of the AMD Radeon E9175 PCIe is built around 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, a capacity that was standard for mid-range GPUs at its release but is now considered modest. The 128-bit bus width is a critical constraint, as it limits the card's memory bandwidth to 96.00 GB/s, a figure that is sufficient for 1080p gaming or standard professional workloads but will become a bottleneck at higher resolutions or with large textures.

At 4K resolutions, the 4 GB capacity is a more pressing limitation than the bandwidth. Modern games and professional applications frequently exceed 4 GB of VRAM usage, leading to texture swapping and stutter when the memory pool is exhausted. The 96.00 GB/s bandwidth further compounds this issue, as it is roughly half of what mainstream desktop GPUs offered in the same era with 256-bit buses. For embedded use cases, such as digital signage or medical imaging, these constraints are rarely reached, but for any compute-heavy task, the memory subsystem will likely be the first component to saturate.

The 1500 MHz memory clock, with a 6 Gbps effective data rate, is a standard figure for GDDR5. It does not incorporate any of the higher-speed memory technologies that emerged later, such as GDDR6 or HBM. The 128-bit interface means the memory controller is relatively narrow, which reduces pin count and power consumption, a deliberate trade-off to maintain the 50W TDP. The result is a balanced but unremarkable memory profile that matches the card's overall mid-range positioning. For multi-monitor setups with 5x mini-DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, the bandwidth is adequate for 4K at 60Hz per display, but pushing multiple high-refresh-rate panels would quickly exceed the 96.00 GB/s limit.
