![]() Purchasing potential is made difficult with AMD’s next-gen cards (supposedly) launching soon. ![]() Power-efficient (~400W at load with an overclocked i7-5960X).A massive upgrade for those wanting to upgrade from GTX 680.6GB framebuffer offers far improved future-proofing than GTX 980.25~30% faster than the GTX 980 just about as fast as TITAN X.It’s nice to see the GTX 980 drop to $500, but if an extra $150 can be squeezed out of your wallet, you’ll stand to gain a serious performance boost. Let’s hope so.īased on what’s available today, NVIDIA without question has a seriously attractive high-end option on its hands. With Computex kicking off this week, it could be that AMD has some reveals up its sleeves. It’s been about eight months since NVIDIA launched the GTX 980 and 970, and at that time, it felt like AMD’s new launch would follow soon after.ĭespite hunches and rumor, if I were in the market for a card of this price-range right now, I’d hold off for the next month to see what AMD pulls out of its hat. While I hope the latter is the case, I have a gut feeling we’ll wind up with the former, simply based on how long its cards have taken to get here. It could be that the R9 390X (or whatever it will be called) will be underwhelming (despite its HBM implementation), but it could also be that the next Radeons will give NVIDIA’s cards proper competition. But we don’t know what AMD’s cards are going to be capable of. If AMD’s next-gen cards were not rumored to launch within the next month, the 980 Ti would without question be a great purchase for any high-end gamer looking to dominate their graphics settings at 1440p or get quality gaming at 4K. The 980 Ti is both a difficult and easy card to sum up. The GTX 980 Ti might come shy of TITAN X’s performance, but that card retains its $999 price tag. Well – $150, to be exact, as with this launch, the GTX 980’s SRP has dropped to $499. The GTX 980 launched at $549, and at the time, I thought even that was well-priced, and now we have a card significantly faster that tacks on only another $100. It’d be ridiculous to call a $649 graphics card a “good value”, given that’s double what most enthusiasts want to shell out, but when we’re talking top-tier cards, it does strike me as that. Or, it could be that NVIDIA knows something we don’t, and that AMD’s Rx 300 (or 400) series is a force to be reckoned with. Again, I almost feel like NVIDIA wants to stick it to AMD, and is willing to sell for lower than what we expect because the cards will fly off of the shelves. Final ThoughtsĪs mentioned at the outset, NVIDIA is pricing its GTX 980 Ti at $649 – a price $100 lower than what I anticipated. On the temperature front, both the Ti and TITAN X peak at the mid-80s, while the 980 caps at 80☌ exactly. General information about the Radeon Pro WX 2100 and Radeon Pro WX 4100 like their performance rating, release date, and launch price.The GTX 980 Ti might be a tinge slower than the TITAN X, but it uses the same amount of power, and considerably more than the GTX 980. AMD recommends a 200 W PSU for the Pro WX 2100, and a 250 W PSU for the Pro WX 4100. NVIDIA has paired 4 GB GDDR5 memory with the GeForce GTX 760 X2, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface per GPU (each GPU manages 2,048 MB). This means that the Pro WX 4100 requires a more powerful power supply (PSU). The Radeon Pro WX 2100 has a TDP of 450 W, while the Radeon Pro WX 4100 has a TDP of 355 W. These GPUs have a different maximum power draw (TDP). The Pro WX 2100 has dimensions of 168 mm x 69 mm x 1 slot (H), whereas the Pro WX 4100 has dimensions of 168 mm x 69 mm x 1 slot (H). The AMD Radeon Pro WX 2100 and AMD Radeon Pro WX 4100 are both 1-slot graphics cards. This means that the Pro WX 2100 stores less data than the Pro WX 4100, and is slower to transfer the data to and from memory. ![]() The Pro WX 2100 has a memory bandwidth of 48 Gb/s, which is slower than the Pro WX 4100's 96 Gb/s bandwidth. It has 2 GB of GDDR5 VRAM, while the Pro WX 4100 has 4 GB of GDDR5 VRAM. The Radeon Pro WX 2100 has less memory than the Radeon Pro WX 4100. It has a performance per dollar of 11.95, while the Pro WX 4100 has a performance per dollar of 9.43. Based on their performance and launch prices, the Pro WX 2100 has a higher performance per dollar than the Pro WX 4100. The Radeon Pro WX 2100 is a less powerful graphics card than the Radeon Pro WX 4100, delivering approximately 53% lower performance than the Pro WX 4100 in the benchmarks that we track. The Pro WX 2100 has a lower launch price, at $149 compared to the Pro WX 4100's $399. The Pro WX 2100 is the newer card of the two GPUs, having a release date of Q2 2017, while the Pro WX 4100 was released in Q4 2016. The Radeon Pro WX 2100 and the Radeon Pro WX 4100 are AMD graphics cards that target workstation users.
