![]() ![]() More interesting is the memory configuration. Overall this still leaves a rather large performance delta between the WX 7100 and the new card – the WX 8200 is much closer to the similarly Vega-based WX 9100 than it is the card below it – but the introduction of the WX 8200 does at least start narrow that gulf. With a boost clock of around 1500MHz, the card offers 10.75 TFLOPS of FP32 performance or 21.5 TFLOPS of FP16 performance. ![]() ![]() The smaller sibling to the flagship WX 9100, it is of course a cut-down part, with 56 of the Vega 10 GPU’s 64 CUs enabled. Under the hood, the WX 8200 is actually a more interesting card than one would first think. AMD Workstation Card Specification Comparison Meanwhile AMD continues to offer their own highly-tuned professional rendering engine, Radeon ProRender, which continues to receive its own updates as support is added to more professional visualization programs like PTC Creo. As is AMD’s High Bandwidth Cache Controller (HBCC) for system memory utilization, which will have increased importance on this 8GB card. Besides offering AMD’s latest and greatest graphics architecture, for mixed graphics/compute workloads Vega’s other marquee features like Rapid Packed Math (fast FP16 support) are available. The card will be hitting the shelves next month for $999.īecause this is another Vega card, the feature set for the card is rather straightforward and well understood at this point. The junior member of the team follows the WX 9100’s introduction at this show a year ago, and is designed to offer the same Vega-powered feature set with a bit less performance and a much lower price tag. Joining the Radeon Pro WX family is the Radeon Pro WX 8200, AMD’s second professional card based on the Vega GPU, and now the second-tier product in their professional graphics stack. Getting in ahead of the crowd – and their own CPU launch – AMD is announcing their latest workstation graphics card this Sunday morning. The card has a 230W TDP (Thermal Design Power), so those two supplemental power feeds are more than enough to keep the card humming.Kicking off this week is the annual SIGGRAPH graphics conference. Though some of the lower end-cards in the family are single slot, the WX 8200 is two-slots wide and it requires a pair of PCI Express power feeds – one 6-pin and one 8-pin. Like the other members of the Radeon Pro WX family, the 10.5” long WX 8200 is outfitted with a blower-style cooler, with an understated, but beautiful blue fan shroud that’s adorned with nothing but the card’s model number. The 8GB on the WX 8200 obviously brings costs down by halving capacity, but it is clocked slightly higher, resulting in the increased peak memory bandwidth. Part of the reason for the Radeon Pro WX 9100’s higher cost is its 16GB of HBM2 memory. The memory bandwidth on the card is a beefy 512GB/s, which is actually higher than the pricier WX 9100’s 484GB/s. The Radeon Pro WX 8200 also wields 8GB of HBM2 memory, linked to the GPU over a 2,048-bit interface, with ECC support to ensure accuracy in mission critical situations. ![]() Take a gander at the Radeon Pro WX 8200’s main features and specifications below and then we’ll dig in a little deeper to see how the card compares to its little brother and a couple of NVIDIA Quadros. There are a couple of additional differences between the cards as well that we’ll get to in just a moment, but for the majority of users in the pro-graphics market, the balance AMD struck with the Radeon Pro WX 8200 will likely make the card’s value proposition significantly more attractive. AMD’s goal with the Radeon Pro WX 8200 was to drive prices down, while maintaining a similar level of performance. The two cards are both based on AMD’s Vega GPU architecture, but the core counts and memory configurations differ between the two. This latest addition to the line-up, however, is actually a slight step-down from the current flagship Radeon Pro WX 9100 – sort of. Like its predecessors, the Radeon Pro WX 8200 features the distinctive YInMn blue signature color of other Radeon Pro WX cards and is geared towards content creators and creative professionals. Back in August, during SIGGRAPH, AMD announced the latest addition to its professional graphics card line-up, the Radeon Pro WX 8200. ![]()
