FirePro W7100 vs Quadro M3000M specs and performance

For gaming, the FirePro W7100 graphics card is better than the Quadro M3000M in our tests.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the FirePro W7100 has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Quadro M3000M has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the FirePro W7100 at 150 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the FirePro W7100 over the Quadro M3000M.
