About G3D Mark

G3D Mark is a standard benchmark that measures graphics performance in real-world gaming scenarios. It simplifies comparing cards from different brands, where higher scores directly correlate with better fps and smoother gaming experiences.

Head-to-Head Verdict, Benchmarks, Value & Long-Term Outlook

This comparison brings together gaming FPS, raw graphics performance, VRAM, feature set, power efficiency, pricing context, and long-term value so you can see which GPU actually makes more sense.

GeForce RTX 2060

2019

Why buy it

  • 64.7% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Costs $150 less on MSRP ($349 MSRP vs $499 MSRP).
  • Delivers 266.9% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 40.4 vs 11.0 G3D/$ ($349 MSRP vs $499 MSRP).
  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • More future proof: Turing (2018−2022) on 12nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with 6 GB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 113.3% higher power demand at 160W vs 75W.
  • 32.4% longer card at 229mm vs 173mm.

Radeon Pro WX 5100

2016

Why buy it

  • 31.8% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs 6 GB).
  • Draws 75W instead of 160W, a 85W reduction.
  • Measures 173mm instead of 229mm, a 56mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 2060 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • No DLSS support; it relies on FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead.
  • Very weak future-proofing: 2016-era hardware with 8 GB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
  • 43% HIGHER MSRP
    $499 MSRPvs$349 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 11.0 vs 40.4 G3D/$ ($499 MSRP vs $349 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 2060 better than Radeon Pro WX 5100?
Yes. GeForce RTX 2060 is clearly the better overall GPU here. GeForce RTX 2060 averages 64.7% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 14,114 vs 5,500 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 2060 is a 2019 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Radeon Pro WX 5100 is a 2016 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.
Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 2060 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2019 generation instead of 2016, 156.6% more raw performance headroom, the stronger feature stack with DLSS Super Resolution instead of FSR upscaling, and a 12nm process instead of 14nm. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.
Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?
GeForce RTX 2060 is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 2060 is about $150 cheaper on MSRP at $349 MSRP versus $499 MSRP, and you are getting 64.7% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 156.6% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 266.9%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.
Is Radeon Pro WX 5100 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
Yes. Radeon Pro WX 5100 is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around $499 MSRP, even if GeForce RTX 2060 is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
