Overall Review: With the mining craze now collapsed, RX 570's with about 3 X the rendering grunt, 3 X DP output, and an HDMI 2.0 output, can be had for less than the cost of this card. The 1 X DP + 2 X mDP works fine, and can be expanded to 5 monitors through the use of MST devices, but MST devices sometimes come with a price premium that is often more than just buying a higher model GPU. This is annoying.ĪMD should have just put 4 X mini-DP ports on this like the competing P600. The GPU is idling along at like 30C, it does not need to spin the fan this fast/loud all the time. At base 2200RPM speed, this is the noisiest fan in the computer by a long shot.
#Amd radeon pro wx 3100 driver
Much better than using integrated graphics.Ĭons: The AMD driver for this GPU offers very limited fan tuning an no clock tuning.įan speed can not be reduced below 2200RPM, despite the driver having the option to "pull down" the setting to 1400RPM, it refuses to operate below ~2200RPM. This card provides a perfectly responsive and smooth interactive performance for everyday office computing spread across multiple high resolution displays (dozens of web tabs, scrolling through huge office documents and pdfs, performing basic illustration and photo editing etc etc).
In theory, this GPU could drive up to 4 X 4K + 1 X 8K using DP 1.4 monitors and MST daisy chaining, however, DP 1.3/1.4 hasn't really made its way to consumerspace yet for monitors so this is more like "future capability." I normally run 3 X 1440P for day to day productivity and it works fine. Would have preferred just building around an RX 570 or GTX 1060, but went this route instead for a basic office workstation build, and appreciate the value it offered at the time (~$100 less expensive than any gaming GPU with 3 X DP outputs).Ģ of the monitors on my desk have built in DP 1.2 MST hub daisy-chain capability, so I can drive up to 4 X 1440P + 1 X 4K with this GPU using DP 1.2 monitors. Pros: This was purchased last year when the mining craze was still running pretty strong and gaming GPU's with a decent number of DP outputs (high end enough to have compute power for mining) were price-inflated.
