GeForce GTX 970 vs Radeon Pro WX 3200 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 970 GPU is faster than the Radeon Pro WX 3200 in gaming.

In our comparison, the Radeon Pro WX 3200 has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation.

As stated by the manufacturer, they both have the same amount of memory at 4 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Radeon Pro WX 3200 has a significantly lower TDP at 65 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 970 at 145 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 970 over the Radeon Pro WX 3200.
