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 3070

2020

Why buy it

  • +1085% higher PassMark G3D performance.
  • Delivers 253.8% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 44.4 vs 12.6 G3D/$ ($499 MSRP vs $149 MSRP).
  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • 300% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs 2 GB).
  • More future proof: Ampere (2020−2025) on 8nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 528.6% higher power demand at 220W vs 35W.
  • 44% longer card at 242mm vs 168mm.

Radeon Pro WX 2100

2017

Why buy it

  • Costs $350 less on MSRP ($149 MSRP vs $499 MSRP).
  • Draws 35W instead of 220W, a 185W reduction.
  • Measures 168mm instead of 242mm, a 74mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

  • Lower PassMark G3D performance (1,871 vs 22,172).
  • Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No DLSS support; it relies on FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead.
  • Very weak future-proofing: 2017-era hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 12.6 vs 44.4 G3D/$ ($149 MSRP vs $499 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 3070 better than Radeon Pro WX 2100?
Yes. GeForce RTX 3070 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 22,172 vs 1,871 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 3070 is a 2020 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Radeon Pro WX 2100 is a 2017 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 3070 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2020 generation instead of 2017, 1085.0% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of 2 GB, and the stronger feature stack with DLSS Super Resolution instead of FSR upscaling. That leaves it with more room for heavier textures, tougher ray tracing loads, and higher-end 1440p or 4K gaming over the next few years.
Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?
GeForce RTX 3070 is the smarter buy by a wide margin. GeForce RTX 3070 is about 234.9% more expensive on MSRP at $499 MSRP versus $149 MSRP, and you are getting 1085.0% higher G3D Mark. Radeon Pro WX 2100 really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.
Is Radeon Pro WX 2100 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
No, not for a fresh gaming build. Radeon Pro WX 2100 is 2017 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM, 1,871 in G3D Mark, and FSR upscaling. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
