Performance Comparison

About G3D Mark

🏆 Chipversus Verdict

⚠️ Generational Difference

The T1000 is significantly newer (2021 vs 2014). The T1000 likely supports modern features like Ray Tracing, Tensor Cores, and DLSS/FSR upscaling, which act as force multipliers for performance. The FirePro W9100 lacks this hardware feature set, limiting its longevity in modern titles despite any raw power similarities.

🚀 Performance Leadership

The FirePro W9100 is the superior choice for raw performance. It leads with a 1.3% higher G3D Mark score and 300% more VRAM (16 GB vs 4 GB). This advantage makes it significantly better for higher resolutions (1440p/4K) and graphic-intensive titles compared to the T1000.
