GeForce RTX 3070 vs FirePro W2100 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3070 beats the FirePro W2100 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 3070 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. In addition, the GeForce RTX 3070 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the FirePro W2100 has a significantly lower TDP at 26 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3070 at 220 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 RTX 3070 over the FirePro W2100.
