FirePro W5170M: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide
FirePro W5170M — 18 games benchmarked at 1080p, 1 model in the catalog.
FirePro W5170M — 18 games benchmarked at 1080p , 1 laptop models in the used-laptop catalog . This guide covers what the chip delivers in games, where it sits among mobile GPUs in 2026, and which laptops carry it.
The FirePro W5170M is AMD's 2014 mid-tier mobile professional GPU, benchmarked across 18 games at 1080p on the high preset, with one workstation model in the catalog. This guide covers what the GCN-era pro card still does.
Where the FirePro W5170M sits in 2026
A catalog score of 17.0 ranks it 221st of 341 — below the middle of the table. Its neighbors: the Radeon Vega 8 (17.6), GeForce MX230 (17) and Radeon 610M (17) above; the Iris Plus 655 (16.9), Vega 10 Mobile (16.4) and Apple M4 GPU730 (16.3) below. Like its W5130M sibling, the W5170M now ranks among integrated graphics — though a rung higher, in genuine thin-and-light territory.
What the chip brings
GCN architecture on 28nm: 640 stream processors, 2GB of GDDR5, 1.18 teraflops peak. PassMark records 2191 and Fire Strike 2909, with compute at 9050 (Vulkan) and 8140 (OpenCL). The W5170M was the mid professional option of its generation — certified drivers, a second GPU tier above the entry W5130M, still modest silicon.
FPS in games at 1080p
At the high preset: the legacy capped quartet at 240/140, Valorant at 60, DOTA 2 at 40, Fortnite at 30, Batman: Arkham Knight at 24, Counter-Strike 2, Forza Horizon 4 and Battlefield 5 at 24/24/21. The heavy tier fades: Far Cry 5 at 16, The Witcher 3 at 15, Forza Horizon 5 at 14, Cyberpunk 2077 at 10, Metro Exodus at 10, the Resident Evil 4 remake at 8 fps. Competitive titles at reduced settings stay viable; anything modern does not.
Laptops that carry it
One listing carries the W5170M: the Dell Precision 7510, a 2015 17-inch workstation at $251. The model's catalog medians — best-CPU score 47.8, gaming index 31, energy efficiency 53.3 — describe a solid professional platform with the GPU as its mid-tier certified option. For used-workstation shoppers it is the classic big-chassis value proposition of that era.
Bottom line
The W5170M delivers a slightly better game table than its smaller sibling — Valorant and DOTA 2 stay comfortable — but the ranking among integrated graphics tells the structural story. Buy the Precision 7510 for its build, screen and CPU; treat the FirePro as the certified display adapter it was designed to be, with light esports as a bonus rather than a feature.
