GeForce GTX 980 vs Radeon Pro WX 3200 benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 980 graphics card is better than the Radeon Pro WX 3200 in our tests.

The Radeon Pro WX 3200 has a slightly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that 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 980 at 165 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 980 is better than the Radeon Pro WX 3200.
