FirePro W2100 vs GeForce GT 1030 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GT 1030 beats the FirePro W2100 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce GT 1030 has a significantly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. In addition, the GeForce GT 1030 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the FirePro W2100 has a slightly lower TDP at 26 W when compared to the GeForce GT 1030 at 30 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GT 1030 is better than the FirePro W2100.
