Summary
AMD started Radeon Pro WX 5100 sales 18 November 2016 at a recommended price of $499. This is GCN 4.0 architecture desktop card based on 14 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 8 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 5 GHz are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 160.0 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 75 Watt.
It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at
18.70%
of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti.

Overall score
This is our combined benchmark performance rating. We are regularly improving our combining algorithms, but if you find some perceived inconsistencies, feel free to speak up in comments section, we usually fix problems quickly.
- Passmark
- GeekBench 5 OpenCL
Passmark
This is probably the most ubiquitous benchmark, part of Passmark PerformanceTest suite. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.
GeekBench 5 OpenCL
Geekbench 5 is a widespread graphics card benchmark combined from 11 different test scenarios. All these scenarios rely on direct usage of GPU's processing power, no 3D rendering is involved. This variation uses OpenCL API by Khronos Group.
