AMD FirePro D500 (Mac Pro Late 2013) Quick OpenGL Test

2014/04/25 JeGX

1 – Overview

I had the opportunity yesterday (thanks to anirul) to quickly test one of the new Mac Pro (a late 2013 model) equipped with two FirePro D500 graphics cards. The FirePro D500 is based on a variation of the Tahiti GPU and packs 1536 stream processors (and not 1526 as it’s mentioned on the spec page):

The 1536 stream processors are spread over 24 compute units. The FirePro D500 is an OpenGL 4.4 capable graphics hardware (limited to OpenGL 4.1 under OSX 10.9) and supports OpenCL 1.2.

A quick note for OpenGL developers: it seems that FirePro drivers for D300/D500/D700 under OS X are very sensitive when it comes to hardware limits. I recently fixed a bug that occurred only on FirePro Dxxx under OS X 10.9 related to the max number of generic vertex attribs that can be used (GL_MAX_VERTEX_ATTRIBS = 16 on most GPUs including the FirePro Dxxx). 17 vertex attribs were used in a demo (which is clearly a bug) and only the FirePro D500/D700 (not tested on D300) crashed when the GL_MAX_VERTEX_ATTRIBS limit was exceeded. The bug was not visible with a Radeon HD 5000/6000 or a GeForce under OS X.

So with current FirePro drivers, do not forget to check hardware limits!

Some basic OpenGL info for the FirePro D500 under OS X 10.9:


GL_RENDERER: AMD Radeon HD - FirePro D500 OpenGL Engine
GL_VENDOR: ATI Technologies Inc.
GL_VERSION: 4.1 ATI-1.20.11
GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION: 4.10

The Mac Pro is small:

The I/O connectors include four USB 3 ports, 6 thunderbolt ports, two Gigabit-Ethernet and one HDMI 1.4 ports:

The graphics cards: two FirePro D500. A 256-GB SSD is fixed on the right graphics card.

3 – OpenGL benchmarks

For this quick test, I used GpuTest 0.7.0 for Mac OS X. Only one FirePro D500 is OpenGL-ized in this benchmareking session.

Graphics settings for all tests: 1920×1080 fullscreen, no AA, 60 seconds.

The FirePro D500 is compared to the GeForce GT 650M (Macbook Pro) and a Radeon HD 5770 (hackintosh setup). I wanted to add a Radeon HD 7970 in the loop but the hackinstosh said NO!
