This graphics card offers upper mid level gaming performance. The FirePro W9100 GPU could struggle if it was to try and run the most demanding games available today, but it meets a lot of game system requirements found in today’s games. Capable of running games with up to a DirectX 11 requirement.

Lets look at the FirePro W9100 game performance guide for some of the biggest games played in 2019. In particular we will see how well this graphics card runs on Ultra settings on 1080p resolution as well as 1440p and 4K. Of the 1000 most demanding recommended specs found in game requirements today, this gpu is more powerful than the graphics requirement of 375 games in todays list.

First we looked at 1080p resolution for the FirePro W9100 performance to explore what sort of benchmarks it would achieve on the popular title Borderlands 3 and saw it deliver weak frames per second across the following graphics settings - Low: 45 FPS, Medium: 35 FPS, High: 24 FPS and Ultra: 17 FPS. We proceeded to look at The Outer Worlds to see how that compared and saw that it returned a playable 40 FPS at Ultra 1080p.

People are turning their increasingly more powerful graphics cards to the popular 1440p screen size so we tested the FirePro W9100 to see how it performs on 1440p. First off we have looked at Borderlands 3 where it was weak. The frame rates it scored for the game presets were - Low: 34 FPS, Medium: 27 FPS, High: 18 FPS and Ultra: 13 FPS. We added The Outer Worlds to our tests and saw it was weak with a 30 FPS at Ultra 1440p. And then tested Ghost Recon Breakpoint which got 20 FPS at Ultra 1440p. In summary we feel the FirePro W9100 running at 1440p is likely in need of some graphical option tweaks when trying to play modern games.
