About AMD Radeon Pro WX 2100
AMD’s Radeon Pro WX 2100 is a 14 nm GCN 4.0 part with 512 shading units, 32 texture units, and 16 ROPs. It carries 2 GB of GDDR5 on a 64-bit bus, with a launch MSRP of 149 USD. Its Geekbench OpenCL score is 8,536, its Geekbench Vulkan score is 10,814, and its average benchmark score is 9,675.
Power and Cooling — TDP, PSU recommendation, connector requirements
The Radeon Pro WX 2100 has a TDP of 35 W, so the power envelope is small. AMD’s suggested PSU is 200 W, and the card lists no power connectors. That means no auxiliary power cable is required; the PCIe 3.0 x8 slot is the only electrical connection needed.
The board is single-slot, measuring 168 mm in length and 69 mm in height, which makes it a compact option for low-profile or tightly packed systems. The 14 nm process and 2,200 million transistors on a 103 mm² die help explain the modest power draw. The transistor density is 21.4M / mm², a figure consistent with the card’s low TDP and slim cooler requirement.
Base clock is 925 MHz with a boost clock of 1219 MHz, while memory runs at 1500 MHz / 6 Gbps effective. The memory interface is 64 bit, and bandwidth is 48.00 GB/s. These numbers are not high by current standards, but they fit the card’s 35 W design and single-slot profile.
Ray Tracing and Feature Set — RT/tensor cores, API support from facts
The fact pack lists no RT cores and no tensor cores for the Radeon Pro WX 2100. As a result, there is no dedicated ray-tracing acceleration hardware and no tensor-core compute path in this GPU. Its feature set is built around conventional rasterization and general compute rather than specialized RT or AI workloads.
API support includes DirectX 12 (12_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3. The architecture is GCN 4.0, and the database places it in the Radeon Pro Polaris (WX x100) generation. Compute throughput is 1,248.3 GFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16, with a 1:1 FP16-to-FP32 ratio. Pixel fill rate is 19.50 GPixel/s, and texture fill rate is 39.01 GTexel/s.
Display output is handled by one DisplayPort 1.4a and two mini-DisplayPort 1.4a connectors. There is no mention of ray tracing cores or tensor cores elsewhere in the listed specifications, so the card should be evaluated on its standard graphics and compute capabilities.
Who Should Consider It
The WX 2100 sits at the 46th percentile of all GPUs in the database, placing it just below the middle of the overall performance distribution. With an average benchmark score of 9,675, it is not positioned near the top of the field, but it is also not at the bottom.
The card’s strongest benchmark result is Vulkan: 10,814, compared to 8,536 in Geekbench OpenCL. Users running Vulkan-based applications are likely to see better raw performance than those limited to OpenCL. The 2 GB GDDR5 frame buffer and 48.00 GB/s bandwidth mean workloads must fit within a relatively small memory footprint. Large textures, dense geometry, or big compute buffers will hit the 64-bit bus and 2 GB capacity quickly.
The form factor is a major consideration. A single-slot, 168 mm by 69 mm board with no auxiliary power connectors can be dropped into systems with a 200 W suggested PSU. That makes it viable for compact workstations or existing machines where expansion slots and power cabling are limited. Because the card is end-of-life, it is most relevant for users looking at existing or used units rather than new builds.
