Passmark
This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark. 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.

Pros & cons summary
| Performance score | 46.52 | 49.11 |
| Recency | 8 June 2021 | 23 November 2021 |
| Maximum RAM amount | 32 GB | 20 GB |
| Chip lithography | 7 nm | 8 nm |
| Power consumption (TDP) | 250 Watt | 200 Watt |
Pro W6800 has a 60% higher maximum VRAM amount, and a 14.3% more advanced lithography process.
RTX A4500, on the other hand, has a 5.6% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 5 months, and 25% lower power consumption.
Given the minimal performance differences, no clear winner can be declared between Radeon Pro W6800 and RTX A4500.
