Quick Answers

So, is Radeon Pro WX 9100 better than Intel Arc Pro B50?

Yes. Radeon Pro WX 9100 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 12,250 vs 12,208 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Radeon Pro WX 9100 is a 2017 card with FSR upscaling, while Intel Arc Pro B50 is a 2025 model from an older generation with no meaningful modern upscaling stack. 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?

Intel Arc Pro B50 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2025 generation instead of 2017, the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of FSR upscaling, and a 5nm 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?

Radeon Pro WX 9100 is the smarter buy by a wide margin. Radeon Pro WX 9100 is about 530.1% more expensive on MSRP at $2,199 MSRP versus $349 MSRP, and you are getting 0.3% higher G3D Mark. Intel Arc Pro B50 really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

When does Intel Arc Pro B50 make more sense than Radeon Pro WX 9100?

Yes. Intel Arc Pro B50 is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture, lower power draw (70W vs 230W), future-proofing, and staying closer to $349 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of Radeon Pro WX 9100. The trade-off is that Radeon Pro WX 9100 currently gives you 0.3% higher G3D Mark. Intel Arc Pro B50 still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium.
