I might as well report on my findings here for the Radeon™ Pro WX 5100 card since I seriously doubt anyone else will. It is a 4th gen GCN polaris card with 1792 cores and 8GB memory with a 75 watt TDP (no external power). Essentially an underclocked RX 565 if there ever was one.
Stock clocks were fairly horrid, as seen in the image. The only redeeming factor being Samsung memory. I had to heavily OC the memory to get any decent result. Anything past 1900 mhz resulted in decreased performance and it crashed at 1990 mhz.
When I attempted to dual mine (Eth + SIA) after getting the clocks in the sweet spot the card just wasn't having it.
Best I could do was 16.4 mhs Eth and 460 mhs for Sia, it was forcing the card to draw too much power and the clocks were throttling hard down to like 750-850 mhz. It was also at 89 C dual mining.
Changed over to Eth only and got a much better 21 mhs with a stable 79 C and clocks around 1173 mhz. Power was hovering around 75-82 watts , the other card is an RX560 with a maxed out memory OC.
It is absolutely not a card built for sustained heavy load but it does manage and gets the job done decently. For my $250 I dont think I did bad, will mine with it and resell for more at a later time.
If you somehow get these for super cheap(less than $200) then its an instant buy

On paper it doesn't seem like a bad card. 1792 stream processors is like china's Rx 470D, a slightly cut down 470 and it has 8gb ram too. I think the problem is 75W tdp limit, it is limited by power draw, not core or memory. Have you tried severe undervolt or raising power limit? Eth only mining should increase hash also.
1000mhz clock, 1850 memory, 800mv. Use 1425 or 1500 straps.
Ill look into it later today but ill have to try and undervolt, raising the power limit is useless as its already at that 75 watt limit at default. Eth only mining does increase hash from 16 to 21.
undervolting and memory straps may yield excellent results. Still, you can tell its really struggling in that 75 watt power envelope.
have you installed the AMD Blockchain drivers ? if so how much improvement ?
