GeForce GTX 1080 vs FirePro W2100 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1080 beats the FirePro W2100 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1080 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 GTX 1080 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the FirePro W2100 has a significantly lower TDP at 26 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1080 at 180 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 GTX 1080 is better than the FirePro W2100.
