GeForce RTX 4070

2023

Why buy it

  • +249.6% higher PassMark G3D performance.
  • Costs $200 less on MSRP ($599 MSRP vs $799 MSRP).
  • Delivers 366.3% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 44.9 vs 9.6 G3D/$ ($599 MSRP vs $799 MSRP).
  • Access to a newer frame-generation stack with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023).
  • 50% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (12 GB vs 8 GB).

Trade-offs

  • 53.8% higher power demand at 200W vs 130W.
  • 26.1% longer card at 304mm vs 241mm.

Radeon Pro WX 7100

2016

Why buy it

  • Draws 130W instead of 200W, a 70W reduction.
  • Measures 241mm instead of 304mm, a 63mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

  • Lower PassMark G3D performance (7,701 vs 26,919).
  • Less VRAM, with 8 GB vs 12 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No equivalent frame-generation stack like DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023).

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 4070 better than Radeon Pro WX 7100?
Yes. GeForce RTX 4070 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 26,919 vs 7,701 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 4070 is a 2023 card with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation, while Radeon Pro WX 7100 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 4070 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2023 generation instead of 2016, 249.6% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 12 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 4070 is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 4070 is about $200 cheaper on MSRP at $599 MSRP versus $799 MSRP, and you are getting 249.6% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 366.3%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.
Is Radeon Pro WX 7100 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
Yes. Radeon Pro WX 7100 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 $799 MSRP, even if GeForce RTX 4070 is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

A critical advantage for the GeForce RTX 4070 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 7100 lacks specific hardware/driver support for this native frame generation tier.The GeForce RTX 4070 gives access to NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), widely regarding as the superior upscaling method for image quality. The Radeon Pro WX 7100 relies on FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution), which is capable but generally slightly noisier than DLSS in motion.
