GeForce RTX 3070

2020

Why buy it

✅+303.1% higher PassMark G3D performance.
✅Delivers 303.1% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 44.4 vs 11.0 G3D/$ ($499 MSRP vs $499 MSRP).
✅Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
✅More future proof: Ampere (2020−2025) on 8nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌193.3% higher power demand at 220W vs 75W.
❌39.9% longer card at 242mm vs 173mm.

Radeon Pro WX 5100

2016

Why buy it

✅Draws 75W instead of 220W, a 145W reduction.
✅Measures 173mm instead of 242mm, a 69mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

❌Lower PassMark G3D performance (5,500 vs 22,172).
❌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.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 11.0 vs 44.4 G3D/$ ($499 MSRP vs $499 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 3070 better than Radeon Pro WX 5100?

Yes. GeForce RTX 3070 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 22,172 vs 5,500 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 3070 is a 2020 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 3070 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2020 generation instead of 2016, 303.1% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of 8 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 today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 3070 is in basically the same MSRP band at $499 MSRP versus $499 MSRP, and you are getting 303.1% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 303.1%. 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 3070 is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
