Under new branding, AMD has started a new line of graphics cards for workstations, Radeon Pro. Taking the baton from the preceding FirePro series, the new Radeon Pro graphics cards bring the WX 4100, WX 5100, and WX 7100 models, all of which support high-resolution monitoring with multiple display outputs and essential hardware acceleration APIs including OpenCL and OpenGL. In a departure from the stereotypical red accenting found on FirePro cards, the Radeon Pro cards feature attractive blue housings.
The entry-level Radeon Pro WX 4100 graphics card is a half-height, half-length card that can be installed in small-form-factor systems (full-sized systems can accept this card using the included mounting bracket). Despite its stature, it contains 4GB of vRAM and has no problem driving 5K displays from any of its Mini Displayport outputs for large desktops for advanced workflows.
A step up from the WX 4100 is the Radeon Pro WX 5100. With its full-height, half-length form factor, the WX 5100 sports full-sized DisplayPort outputs, capable of driving 5K displays. 8GB of vRAM on the WX 5100 is a step up from the 4GB on the WX4100. The stream processor count is also higher, packing 1792 to the WX 4100’s 1024, making the WX 5100 more adept at hardware acceleration and displaying high-resolution graphics.
The current top-of-the-line is the Radeon Pro WX 7100. A full-height, full-length card intended for powerful workstation computers. 5K display support is also here in addition to 8GB of vRAM. 2304 stream processors can make up to 5.7 billion floating-point operations in a second, impressive for a single-slot GPU.
