Last month, AMD filled out its Polaris-based Radeon Pro line with the WX 3100 and WX 2100. If you?re at all familiar with the Radeon Pro line, then you'll know right away that these are both low-end workstation graphics cards ? something further backed by their pricing: $199 for the WX 3100, and $149 for the WX 2100.

On the surface, the WX 3100 and WX 2100 look identical, and the same can be said for most of their specs. The main difference is that the lower card has just 2GB of VRAM, whereas the WX 3100 has a much beefier 4GB. Both of these cards are entry-level, but you'll need to ask yourself whether or not that 2GB framebuffer would become an impedance in your workflow before choosing it over the WX 3100.

That all said, cutting the VRAM on the WX 2100 also reduces its power consumption, bringing the TDP from ?up to? 50W down to 35W. AMD says that its WX 3100 redefines entry-level workstation graphics, whereas the WX 2100 is a good complement to those just beginning their ?journey? into pro graphics. Both are low-profile cards, enabling you to get serious work done on very small PCs.
