In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 DirectCU II Edition are noticeably better than the AMD FirePro S9150.

The FirePro S9150 has a 37 MHz higher core clock speed than the GTX 780, but the GTX 780 has 16 more Texture Mapping Units than the FirePro S9150. As a result, the GTX 780 exhibits a 7.3 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the FirePro S9150. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.

The FirePro S9150 has a 37 MHz higher core clock speed and 16 more Render Output Units than the GTX 780. This results in the FirePro S9150 providing 16.2 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.

The FirePro S9150 was released over a year more recently than the GTX 780, and so the FirePro S9150 is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the GTX 780.

Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.

The FirePro S9150 has 13312 MB more video memory than the GTX 780, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the FirePro S9150 also has superior memory performance overall.

The FirePro S9150 has 31.6 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX 780, which means that the memory performance of the FirePro S9150 is noticeably better than the GTX 780.

The FirePro S9150 has 2816 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 780 DirectCU II Edition has 2304. However, the actual shader performance of the FirePro S9150 is 2534 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 780 is 2078. The FirePro S9150 having 456 better shader performance is not particularly notable, as altogether the GTX 780 performs better when taking into account other relevant data.

The FirePro S9150 requires 235 Watts to run but there is no entry for the GeForce GTX 780 DirectCU II Edition. We would recommend a PSU with at least 600 Watts for the GTX 780, but we do not have a recommended PSU wattage for the FirePro S9150.
