FirePro W7100 vs GeForce GTX 690 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 690 GPU is faster than the FirePro W7100 in gaming.

The FirePro W7100 has a slightly 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.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the FirePro W7100 has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the FirePro W7100 has a significantly lower TDP at 150 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 690 at 300 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 690 over the FirePro W7100.
