GeForce RTX 4060

2023

Why buy it

  • +255.4% higher PassMark G3D performance.
  • Costs $200 less on MSRP ($299 MSRP vs $499 MSRP).
  • Delivers 493.2% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 65.4 vs 11.0 G3D/$ ($299 MSRP vs $499 MSRP).
  • Access to a newer frame-generation stack with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023).
  • More future proof: Ada Lovelace (2022−2024) on 5nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 53.3% higher power demand at 115W vs 75W.
  • 38.7% longer card at 240mm vs 173mm.

Radeon Pro WX 5100

2016

Why buy it

  • Draws 75W instead of 115W, a 40W reduction.
  • Measures 173mm instead of 240mm, a 67mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

  • Lower PassMark G3D performance (5,500 vs 19,548).
  • No equivalent frame-generation stack like DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023).
  • Very weak future-proofing: 2016-era hardware with 8 GB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
  • 66.9% HIGHER MSRP

  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 11.0 vs 65.4 G3D/$ ($499 MSRP vs $299 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 4060 better than Radeon Pro WX 5100?
Yes. GeForce RTX 4060 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 19,548 vs 5,500 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 4060 is a 2023 card with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation, 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 4060 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2023 generation instead of 2016, 255.4% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of 8 GB, and better frame-generation support with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023) 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 4060 is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 4060 is about $200 cheaper on MSRP at $299 MSRP versus $499 MSRP, and you are getting 255.4% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 493.2%. 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 4060 is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

A critical advantage for the GeForce RTX 4060 is support for DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation. This allows it to generate entire frames using AI/Algorithms, essentially doubling the frame rate in CPU-bound scenarios or heavy ray-tracing titles. The Radeon Pro WX 5100 lacks specific hardware/driver support for this native frame generation tier.The GeForce RTX 4060 gives access to NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), widely regarding as the superior upscaling method for image quality. The Radeon Pro WX 5100 relies on FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution), which is capable but generally slightly noisier than DLSS in motion.
