Sapphire FirePro W4100 2GB GDDR5 workstation
The low-profile design and 50W TDP enable quad 4K display support via four DisplayPort 1.2 outputs without external power, driven by 512 shader units and 2GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit interface. Its compact form factor fits into small form factor workstations where space and power are constrained. This card suits financial traders or digital signage operators who need to drive four 4096 x 2160 monitors for data visualization, not 3D rendering.
