GeForce GTX 580M vs Radeon Pro WX 2100: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce GTX 580M

2011

Why buy it

  • 106.4% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.

Trade-offs

  • 2011 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 12.6 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $149 MSRP).
  • 185.7% higher power demand at 100W vs 35W.

Radeon Pro WX 2100

2017

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 12.6 vs 0 G3D/$ ($149 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • Draws 35W instead of 100W, a 65W reduction.
  • More future proof: GCN 4.0 (2016−2020) on 14nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce GTX 580M across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 2017 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
