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.

P106-100

2017

Why buy it

  • Costs $776 less on MSRP ($224 MSRP vs $1,000 MSRP).
  • Delivers 361.9% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 29.6 vs 6.4 G3D/$ ($224 MSRP vs $1,000 MSRP).
  • Draws 75W instead of 130W, a 55W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with 4 GB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • Poor future-proofing: 2017-era hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.

Radeon Pro WX 7130

2016

Why buy it

  • 100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs 4 GB).
  • More future proof: GCN 4.0 (2016−2020) on 14nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

Quick Answers

So, is P106-100 better than Radeon Pro WX 7130?
Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 6,628 vs 6,406 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer P106-100 is the overall package: you are getting a newer generation, no meaningful modern upscaling stack, plus much lower power draw (75W vs 130W).
Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?
P106-100 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2017 generation instead of 2016 and the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of FSR upscaling. 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?
P106-100 can still make sense if you find it at the right price, especially around $224 MSRP. P106-100 is still the smarter buy for most people, though, because the raw performance is close while the overall package is cleaner. P106-100 is about $776 cheaper on MSRP at $224 MSRP versus $1,000 MSRP, and you are getting 3.5% higher G3D Mark. Moving to $224 MSRP gets you newer hardware, lower power draw (75W vs 130W), and no meaningful modern upscaling stack.
Is Radeon Pro WX 7130 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
Yes. Radeon Pro WX 7130 is still a strong gaming card in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. Price is really the swing factor here. If you find it at or below $1,000 MSRP, it remains a very sensible buy. P106-100 is still the safer recommendation for most fresh builds because it offers a cleaner overall package with newer hardware and no meaningful modern upscaling stack.
