GeForce GTX 1080 vs FirePro W7100 specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card is better than the FirePro W7100 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1080 has a significantly 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.

As stated by the manufacturer, they both have the same amount of memory at 8 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the FirePro W7100 has a slightly lower TDP at 150 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.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 1080 is faster than the FirePro W7100.
