Starting with F1 2020 at 1440p, you might be a bit disappointed to learn that out of the box the A4000 is only able to match the RTX 3060 Ti and with our max overclock applied was just 7% faster, allowing it to match the 6700 XT. At this point, we should probably just dive into the benchmarks using our Ryzen 9 5950X test system. Unfortunately, despite the A4000 overclock, a stock RTX 3070 Ti clocks around 18% higher for both the core and memory, meaning it's going to be very difficult for the A4000 to match even the RTX 3070, let alone the Ti model. This overclock was 100% stable, surviving multiple different gaming loads over a 48 hour period. That said, the GDDR6 memory overclocked from 14 Gbps to 16 Gbps, which is a substantial 14% bump. Overclocked it sustained a clock speed of 1570 MHz when gaming, a mere 10% frequency boost. Stock the RTX A4000 operated at 1425 MHz when gaming and the blower fan spun at 2800 RPM which was loud, but it wasn't crazy and really a lot better than I was expecting at 47 dBA. Hopefully at some point in the future I can acquire a water-block for the A4000, but for now we'll have to rely on the reference cooler. But even so, given the tiny single slot blower fan style cooler, it's unlikely to be very quiet and worse still, overclocking for maximum performance could be an issue. Given the RTX 3060 has a TDP of 170 watts, if the A4000 can get anywhere near the RTX 3070 out of the box that would be quite amazing. Because of the lower core clocks and the more power efficient GDDR6 memory, the A4000 only packs a total board power rating of 140 watts, almost 40% lower than the RTX 3070 and just over 50% less than the 3070 Ti.

Because this is a professional grade product, Nvidia doesn't allow partners to design their custom PCBs and coolers. Right out of the gate, the first red flag for the A4000 was the tiny single-slot cooler. This might be something we explore in a separate piece, but for this one we have a heap of gaming data to go over, and of course, the entire point of buying the A4000 was to answer the question: is it worth purchasing over the RTX 3070 for gaming? We don't care about the benefits the A4000 might bring for video editing, 3D rendering, or CAD work. On that note, we should mention that this review is focused exclusively on gaming performance. In theory, you should be able to overclock the A4000 to achieve RTX 3070-like performance, but that'll all depend on how far you can push the cores and memory, and of course, this is something we're going to explore. We suspect this is why many of you are interested in the A4000. Packing 16GB of ECC memory opposed to just 8GB for the RTX 3070 Ti. The RTX A4000 does have one advantage though, and that's memory capacity. The A4000, on the other hand, uses more traditional GDDR6 memory, offering a throughput of 14 Gbps and when using the same 256-bit wide memory bus that means memory bandwidth has been reduced by 26% to 448 GB/s. The 3070 Ti utilizes GDDR6X memory with a throughput of 19 Gbps and when paired with a 256-bit wide memory bus that provides a bandwidth of 608 Gb/s. Not a huge difference, but there's another specification that could have a more serious influence on performance, and that is the GDDR memory. That means under load the RTX 3070 Ti should clock at least 13% higher than the A4000. Where the RTX 3070 Ti cores operate at a base frequency of 1575 MHz with a boost of 1770 MHz, the A4000 cores clock as low as 735 MHz with a boost of just 1560 MHz. However, there are a number of key differences between how the A4000 and RTX 3070 Ti are configured.įirst, the cores. In short, the RTX A4000 uses the same GA104 silicon as the RTX 3070 Ti, meaning it has 6144 CUDA cores, 192 TAUs and 96 ROPs. Earlier this year Nvidia dropped the "Quadro" moniker for their workstation products, simply going with RTX A2000, A4000, A5000 and A6000, for the various Ampere-based workstation GPUs. What is the RTX A4000?Ĭlearly, this isn't a GeForce product, that much we can tell by looking at the branding. Meanwhile, the RTX A4000 can be had for around $1,300, or about 30% more than the vanilla RTX 3070. As of writing, you can buy an RTX 3070 over at Newegg and a few other places for around $1,000, while the RTX 3070 Ti version starts at $1,200. Interesting point, since you can actually buy the RTX A4000 on retail.
You might be wondering, why then are we looking at it given our focus is on gaming hardware? Recently we got some inquiries about this graphics card along the lines of "would you consider buying an RTX A4000 over the RTX 3070 for gaming, and if so how much extra would you spend on the A4000?" This isn't a member of the rumored next-gen GeForce RTX 4000 series, but rather an Ampere-based GPU designed for workstation PCs.

That's the full product name, and it's probably not what some of you think it is. Today we're taking a look at the Nvidia RTX A4000.
