It is also becoming much more important for VR and real time visualisation, particularly at 4K resolution and above. This is a key consideration for GPU rendering, as memory plays a crucial role. The WX 8200 has 8GB of fast HBM2 memory with ECC support, while the WX 9100 has double that at 16GB. The big difference between the two GPUs is memory. On .uk, it is currently going for £790 (ex VAT), whereas the WX 9100 will set you back £1,220 (ex VAT). On paper this is around 88% of what the WX 9100 offers with 4,096 Stream Processors and 12.3 TFLOPs, but it costs considerably less. The WX 8200 packs in 3,584 Stream processors and delivers 10.75 TFLOPs of Peak Single Precision (FP32) Performance. It has four mini DisplayPort outputs while the WX 9100 has six. It means you’ll need a mid-range to high-end workstation, such as the HP Z4 or Dell Precision 5820 Tower, with a pretty hefty power supply and both a 6-pin and 8-pin external power connector.

Both are double slot GPUs with a thermal design power (TDP) of 230W, which is quite a lot for a desktop GPU. The Radeon Pro WX 8200 is very similar to its older sibling, the WX 9100, both in terms of looks and specifications. However, this bold claim was qualified in the footnotes, tested under select workflows including Adobe Premiere Pro, Autodesk Maya, Radeon ProRender and Blender Cycles. At launch, AMD claimed that for real-time visualisation, virtual reality (VR) and photorealistic rendering, it offered the best workstation graphics performance for under $1,000. On paper, this GPU is very similar to the WX 9100, but it costs considerably less.

This summer, AMD added a new high-end model to the fold, the Radeon Pro WX 8200. Our tests showed it generally sat somewhere between the Nvidia Quadro P4000 and Quadro P5000 but performed well in select workflows such as OpenCL-based ray trace rendering and immersive VR in DirectX applications. The Radeon Pro WX 9100 fell a little short of expectations.

Last year it extended this to the high-end with the Radeon Pro WX 9100, the first professional GPU to feature the company’s long-awaited Vega GPU architecture. It’s been two years since AMD launched its Radeon Pro WX family of GPUs, starting with the Radeon Pro WX 4100 & WX 5100, focused on 3D CAD and the Radeon Pro WX 7100 for entry-level GPU rendering and VR.
