FirePro W7100 vs Quadro K6000 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Quadro K6000 beats the FirePro W7100 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the FirePro W7100 has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the Quadro K6000 has significantly more memory with 12 GiB of memory compared to 8 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 Quadro K6000 at 225 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 Quadro K6000 is better than the FirePro W7100.
