Interestingly, the WX 3100 is the higher-clocked part of the two, peaking 36MHz higher. As both GPUs share the same core count, that’s not hard to believe. GPU-Z ousts WX 3100’s core as Lexa, which is shared with the gamer-focused Radeon RX 550.
We can glean some additional GPU details with the help of GPU-Z (shout out to W1zzard for providing me a build with correct detection!): Not bad for just five times the price, right?īack to the WX 3100. And… here it is: the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition is more than ten times as powerful as the WX 3100. There’s not much to say here, since the table largely speaks for itself, so I’ve run a complex AI on the WX 3100 to help me figure out what neat fact to talk about next. Pricing (Amazon) accurate as of time of publication. * also available in a $1,499 liquid-cooled variant. Speaking of those other GPUs, it’s worth looking at AMD’s overall Radeon Pro lineup to get a better feel for where the WX 3100 and WX 2100 fall into place. Extra muscle allows the WX 4100 to increase that to 60Hz, whereas the WX 5100 and WX 7100 can drive up to 2x5K/60 displays. The going gets tough at 5K, though here, the cards will handle just a single monitor, limited to 30Hz. If you choose to run three monitors on these graphics cards, you’ll be able to run each one of them at 4K/60.
For the sake of overall convenience, I think this is the best possible display configuration for low-profile GPUs. The WX 4100 includes four mini-DP connectors, allowing it to hook up to four monitors, but that design most often requires the use of adapters, since most DP displays don’t include that connector. Both are low-profile cards, enabling you to get serious work done on very small PCs.Īs odd as it may seem, I think the design of the WX 3100 and WX 2100 is a big improvement over the WX 4100 in that a full-sized DisplayPort connector is guaranteed to be available. AMD says that its WX 3100 redefines entry-level workstation graphics, whereas the WX 2100 is a good complement to those just beginning their “journey” into pro graphics. That all said, cutting the VRAM on the WX 2100 also reduces its power consumption, bringing the TDP from “up to” 50W down to 35W. Both of these cards are entry-level, but you’ll need to ask yourself whether or not that 2GB framebuffer would become an impedance in your workflow before choosing it over the WX 3100. The main difference is that the lower card has just 2GB of VRAM, whereas the WX 3100 has a much beefier 4GB. On the surface, the WX 3100 and WX 2100 look identical, and the same can be said for most of their specs. If you’re at all familiar with the Radeon Pro line, then you’ll know right away that these are both low-end workstation graphics cards – something further backed by their pricing: $199 for the WX 3100, and $149 for the WX 2100. Last month, AMD filled out its Polaris-based Radeon Pro line with the WX 3100 and WX 2100. FreeSyncĪPIs supported, including particular versions of those APIs.ApAddendum: Updated performance can be found here. This information will prove useful if you need some particular technology for your purposes. OEM manufacturers may change the number and type of output ports, while for notebook cards availability of certain video outputs ports depends on the laptop model rather than on the card itself. As a rule, data in this section is precise only for desktop reference ones (so-called Founders Edition for NVIDIA chips). Types and number of video connectors present on the reviewed GPUs. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated VRAM and use a shared part of system RAM. Parameters of memory installed: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. Information on Radeon PRO WX 2100 and Quadro P520 compatibility with other computer components. Pipelines / CUDA coresĬompatibility, dimensions and requirements Note that power consumption of some graphics cards can well exceed their nominal TDP, especially when overclocked. These parameters indirectly speak of performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider their benchmark and gaming test results. General performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core base clock and boost clock speeds, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed.
