About the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 GPU

The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 is a workstation graphics card that launched in Q3 2017. It is built on the GCN 5.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Vega 10) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.

Memory

The Pro Vega 56 has 8 GB of HBM2 memory, with a 786 MHz memory clock and a 2,048 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 402.4 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Pro Vega 56 includes 3,584 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,138 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,250 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 224 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

It supports HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 210 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The Pro Vega 56 has the 92nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 24.46% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the AMD Radeon Pro WX 3200 GPU

The AMD Radeon Pro WX 3200 is a workstation graphics card that launched in Q3 2019 with a MSRP of $199. It is built on the GCN 4.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Polaris 23) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.

Memory

The Pro WX 3200 has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,500 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 96 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Pro WX 3200 includes 640 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,295 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 32 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The Pro WX 3200 is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. It supports mini-DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 250 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 65 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The Pro WX 3200 has the 267th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 4.15% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 4,337.5 score and $199 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 21.8. This is the 84th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
