AMD Radeon Pro WX 3100 vs NVIDIA TITAN V CEO Edition Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA TITAN V CEO Edition and the AMD Radeon Pro WX 3100 occupy completely different performance tiers, and the benchmark data reflects that. The TITAN V CEO Edition is a high-end compute-oriented card with a PassMark G3D score of 16,988, while the WX 3100 is a low-profile workstation card with a Geekbench OpenCL score of 7,333 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 7,827. The TITAN V also has a PassMark G2D score of 1,086, but it has no recorded Geekbench scores, so its relative standing in compute workloads is defined by its PassMark results alone.

The TITAN V CEO Edition wins in raw graphics throughput. Its PassMark G3D score of 16,988 places it far above the WX 3100, whose average benchmark score sits at 7,580. The TITAN V’s average benchmark score is 9,037, which is 19% higher than the WX 3100’s average. However, the TITAN V’s percentile ranking among all GPUs is 45, while the WX 3100 sits at 41, meaning neither card is near the top of the overall performance distribution. The TITAN V’s wins are in absolute compute power, not in relative standing.

The WX 3100 wins in efficiency and physical footprint. It is a single-slot card with a 65 W TDP and no power connectors, while the TITAN V CEO Edition is a dual-slot card with a 250 W TDP and requires both a 6-pin and an 8-pin connector. The WX 3100 also draws power from the PCIe slot alone, as indicated by its suggested PSU of 250 W, whereas the TITAN V suggests a 600 W PSU. For a workstation with limited space or power budget, the WX 3100 is the only viable option between the two.

The WX 3100 also wins in API compatibility breadth for Vulkan. It supports Vulkan 1.3, while the TITAN V supports Vulkan 1.4. That might sound like a win for the TITAN V, but the WX 3100’s Geekbench Vulkan score of 7,827 is its highest recorded benchmark, and it is a dedicated workstation card with a 2017 release date. The TITAN V has no Vulkan benchmark recorded, so its real-world Vulkan performance is unquantified in the database.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear split: the TITAN V CEO Edition is for users who need maximum compute throughput and are willing to accept a large, power-hungry card. The WX 3100 is for users who need a compact, low-power card with basic workstation features and are not chasing high frame rates or large datasets.

If your workload is compute-heavy, such as rendering, simulation, or machine learning, the TITAN V’s 14.90 TFLOPS FP32 and 29.80 TFLOPS FP16 performance (with a 2:1 ratio) is the deciding factor. Its 32 GB of HBM2 memory with 868.4 GB/s bandwidth is orders of magnitude beyond the WX 3100’s 4 GB of GDDR5 with 96.00 GB/s. The TITAN V is 19% ahead in average benchmark score, and its PassMark G3D score is more than double the WX 3100’s average.

If your priority is a low-profile workstation card for light CAD, office productivity, or multi-display setups, the WX 3100 is the practical choice. It is 168 mm long (6.6 inches) versus the TITAN V’s 267 mm (10.5 inches), and it is single-slot versus dual-slot. The WX 3100’s launch MSRP is 199 USD, but the database does not record a launch MSRP for the TITAN V CEO Edition, so no price comparison is possible. The WX 3100 also supports a PCIe 3.0 x8 interface, while the TITAN V uses PCIe 3.0 x16, so the TITAN V has more bandwidth headroom for data transfer.

Neither card is a top-tier performer by percentile. The TITAN V’s 45th percentile and the WX 3100’s 41st percentile indicate that both sit in the mid-range of all GPUs. But within this pair, the TITAN V is the clear performance leader, and the WX 3100 is the clear efficiency leader.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark list is empty, so the comparison relies on the individual benchmark scores recorded for each card. The TITAN V CEO Edition has two PassMark scores: a G2D score of 1,086 and a G3D score of 16,988. The WX 3100 has two Geekbench scores: an OpenCL score of 7,333 and a Vulkan score of 7,827. There is no overlap in test names, which limits direct comparison.

The most telling comparison is the average benchmark score. The TITAN V’s average is 9,037, while the WX 3100’s average is 7,580. That is a 19% difference in favor of the TITAN V. To put that in context, the TITAN V’s nearest rivals are the GeForce GTX 660 (average 9,022, delta 0.2%), the GeForce GTX 560 (average 9,058, delta -0.2%), the Radeon 550X (average 8,918, delta 1.3%), and the Radeon 890M (average 9,210, delta -1.9%). The TITAN V is essentially tied with the GTX 660 and GTX 560, slightly ahead of the Radeon 550X, and slightly behind the Radeon 890M.

The WX 3100’s nearest rivals are the Radeon R7 250 (average 7,557, delta 0.3%), the Intel Arc A310 (average 7,550, delta 0.4%), the Radeon 540 (average 7,673, delta -1.2%), and the GeForce GTX 1650 (average 7,472, delta 1.4%). The WX 3100 is essentially tied with the R7 250 and Arc A310, slightly behind the Radeon 540, and slightly ahead of the GTX 1650.

Looking at the biggest wins, the TITAN V’s PassMark G3D score of 16,988 is more than double the WX 3100’s average of 7,580. That is a 124% advantage. In FP32 compute, the TITAN V delivers 14.90 TFLOPS versus the WX 3100’s 1,248.3 GFLOPS (1.248 TFLOPS), which is roughly 12x higher. In memory bandwidth, the TITAN V’s 868.4 GB/s is 9x the WX 3100’s 96.00 GB/s. These are the decisive wins.

The WX 3100’s wins are in efficiency and form factor. It has a 65 W TDP versus the TITAN V’s 250 W, and it is single-slot versus dual-slot. Its Vulkan score of 7,827 is its highest recorded benchmark, but the TITAN V has no Vulkan score, so there is no direct comparison. The WX 3100 also supports a wider set of display outputs (1x DisplayPort 1.4a and 2x mini-DisplayPort 1.4a) versus the TITAN V’s 1x HDMI 2.0 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a, so the WX 3100 is more flexible for multi-monitor workstation setups.
