What this low-profile layout affords the user in terms of display outputs then is quite interesting. Though notably, these aren’t AMD’s only low-profile cards, as the more powerful WX 4100 is also a low-profile configuration. In any case, the low TDP means that both cards are being offered in the same single slot low-profile design. I do have some doubts that AMD could shave 15W just by taking away 2GB of memory, so it may be that the WX 2100 is a bit more prone to throttling. The WX 3100 peaks at 50W, and the WX 2100 is even lower, at just 35W.

Otherwise, as you’d expect for entry-level cards, the power consumption of both cards is rather low. The end result is the same theoretical compute/texturing/geometry performance, but only 2GB of GDDR5 and a resulting 48GB/sec of memory bandwidth to do it with. The card is paired with 4GB of GDDR5 memory, clocked at 6Gbps, for a total memory bandwidth of 96GB/sec.Ĭomparatively speaking then, the Radeon Pro WX 2100 retains the same core GPU configuration of 8 CUs and a 1220MHz boost clock, but it drops half of the memory bus. AMD pegs the performance of the card at 1.25 TFLOPS, which works out to a GPU boost clock of about 1220MHz. So all 8 CUs are enabled, as is the 128-bit GDDR5 memory bus. Otherwise the two cards are almost identical.īy the numbers then, the Radeon Pro WX 3100 is a “full fat” Polaris 12 card. In fact the only difference between them in terms of specifications is the amount of memory bandwidth and the cards’ TDP.

Like its predecessor the new cards are primed for the entry-level market, getting desktop users access to AMD’s pro driver set and certification for a minimal cost, but with performance to match.
#Amd radeon pro wx 3100 professional#
The latest Radeon Pro WX cards serve to finish fleshing out the professional lineup, replacing the old Oland-based FirePro W2100.

Now AMD is now bringing their smallest 14nm GPU to the professionals with the announcement of the Radeon Pro WX 3100 and WX 2100. Designing for early-level video cards and laptops, in the consumer space it’s the heart of the Radeon RX 550. A couple of months back AMD announced their third (and presumably final) Polaris GPU, the diminutive Polaris 12.
