Cost-Effectiveness Evaluation

Performance to price ratio. The higher, the better.

RTX A4000 has 16% better value for money than Pro VII.

Detailed Specifications

General performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core base clock and boost clock speeds, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider their benchmark and gaming test results. Note that power consumption of some graphics cards can well exceed their nominal TDP, especially when overclocked.

Pipelines / CUDA cores	3840	6144
Boost clock speed	1700 MHz	1560 MHz
Number of transistors	13,230 million	17,400 million
Manufacturing process technology	7 nm	8 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	250 Watt	140 Watt
Texture fill rate	408.0	299.5

Form Factor & Compatibility

Information on compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop graphics cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility).

Interface	PCIe 4.0 x16	PCIe 4.0 x16
Length	305 mm	241 mm
Width	2-slot	1-slot
Supplementary power connectors	1x 6-pin + 1x 8-pin	1x 6-pin

VRAM Capacity and Type

Parameters of VRAM installed: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Integrated GPUs have no dedicated video RAM and use a shared part of system RAM.

Memory type	HBM2	GDDR6
Maximum RAM amount	16 GB	16 GB
Memory bus width	4096 Bit	256 Bit
Memory clock speed	2000 MHz	14 GB/s
Memory bandwidth	1024 GB/s	448.0 GB/s

Connectivity and Outputs

Types and number of video connectors present on the reviewed GPUs. As a rule, data in this section is precise only for desktop reference ones (so-called Founders Edition for NVIDIA chips). OEM manufacturers may change the number and type of output ports, while for notebook cards availability of certain video outputs ports depends on the laptop model rather than on the card itself.

Display Connectors

6x mini-DisplayPort

4x DisplayPort 1.4a

Combined synthetic benchmark score

This is our combined benchmark performance score. We are regularly improving our combining algorithms, but if you find some perceived inconsistencies, feel free to speak up in comments section, we usually fix problems quickly.

Pro VII 37.68

RTX A4000 50.12
+33%

RTX A4000 outperforms Radeon Pro VII by 33% based on our aggregated benchmark results.

Passmark

This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark, part of Passmark PerformanceTest suite. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.
