Neither is a gaming card. The W5100 has more memory and stream processors, but it is a workstation card. For light games at low settings, either works; for modern titles, buy a current gaming GPU.

Is the FirePro W5100 worth the extra over the GT730?

At $33.99 on 2026-11-03 it is cheap for 4GB of GDDR5 and four DisplayPort outputs. If you only need a DVI output in a slim case, the GT730 is the simpler fit.

Will the GT730 fit a low-profile PC?

Yes. It is a low-profile plug-in card with a fan cooler. Check that your case has a free PCIe slot and a low-profile bracket.

Do I need adapters for the FirePro W5100?

Only for non-DisplayPort monitors. It has DisplayPort outputs only, so DVI, HDMI and VGA screens need active adapters.

Which card lasts longer?

The W5100 has newer PCIe 3.0 and more memory, so it stays useful longer for multi-monitor and CAD work. The GT730 is limited by DDR3 memory and an x8 link.
