About G3D Mark

G3D Mark is a standard benchmark that measures graphics performance in real-world gaming scenarios. It simplifies comparing cards from different brands, where higher scores directly correlate with better fps and smoother gaming experiences.

Head-to-Head Verdict, Benchmarks, Value & Long-Term Outlook

This comparison brings together gaming FPS, raw graphics performance, VRAM, feature set, power efficiency, pricing context, and long-term value so you can see which GPU actually makes more sense.

GeForce RTX 3070

2020

Why buy it

  • +187.9% higher PassMark G3D performance.
  • Costs $300 less on MSRP ($499 MSRP vs $799 MSRP).
  • Delivers 361% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 44.4 vs 9.6 G3D/$ ($499 MSRP vs $799 MSRP).
  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • More future proof: Ampere (2020−2025) on 8nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 69.2% higher power demand at 220W vs 130W.

Radeon Pro WX 7100

2016

Why buy it

  • Draws 130W instead of 220W, a 90W reduction.
  • Measures 241mm instead of 242mm, a 1mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

  • Lower PassMark G3D performance (7,701 vs 22,172).
  • No DLSS support; it relies on FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead.
  • Poor future-proofing: 2016-era hardware with 8 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.
  • 60.1% HIGHER MSRP
    $799 MSRPvs$499 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 9.6 vs 44.4 G3D/$ ($799 MSRP vs $499 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 3070 better than Radeon Pro WX 7100?
Yes. GeForce RTX 3070 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 22,172 vs 7,701 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 3070 is a 2020 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Radeon Pro WX 7100 is a 2016 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.
Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 3070 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2020 generation instead of 2016, 187.9% more raw performance headroom, the stronger feature stack with DLSS Super Resolution instead of FSR upscaling, and a 8nm process instead of 14nm. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.
Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?
GeForce RTX 3070 is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 3070 is about $300 cheaper on MSRP at $499 MSRP versus $799 MSRP, and you are getting 187.9% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 361%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.
Is Radeon Pro WX 7100 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
Yes. Radeon Pro WX 7100 is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around $799 MSRP, even if GeForce RTX 3070 is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
