Radeon RX 560 vs FirePro W7100 comparison

For gaming, the FirePro W7100 graphics card is better than the Radeon RX 560 in our tests.

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 560 has a slightly 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.

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 Radeon RX 560 has a significantly lower TDP at 80 W when compared to the FirePro W7100 at 150 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 FirePro W7100 is faster than the Radeon RX 560.
