Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU

2018

Why buy it

✅Less risky long-term buy than Radeon Pro WX 9100: it remains the more sensible modern option while Radeon Pro WX 9100 is already legacy-tier future-proofing.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than Radeon Pro WX 9100 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌Less VRAM, with 8 GB vs 16 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌Limited future-proofing: older hardware, 8 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in upcoming AAA games.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 5.6 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $2,199 MSRP).
❌30.4% higher power demand at 300W vs 230W.

Radeon Pro WX 9100

2017

Why buy it

✅9.4% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.

Quick Answers

So, is Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU better than Radeon Pro WX 9100?

Yes. Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU is the better GPU overall here. You are getting 0.1% higher PassMark G3D performance. It also comes from 2018 instead of 2017, which helps its case as the more complete modern gaming card.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2018 generation instead of 2017. That makes it the safer long-run choice for modern games.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU is the smarter buy by a wide margin. Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU is priced in an unclear MSRP range at an unclear MSRP versus $2,199 MSRP, and you are getting lower estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 0.1% higher G3D Mark. Radeon Pro WX 9100 really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

Is Radeon Pro WX 9100 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

No, not for a fresh gaming build. Radeon Pro WX 9100 is 2017 hardware with 16 GB of VRAM, 12,250 in G3D Mark, and FSR upscaling. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
