# NVIDIA RTX A4000 Desktop GPU: NVIDIA Also called nvidia rtx a4000, rtx a4000 NVIDIA, Desktop GPU NVIDIA RTX desktop graphics card with 16 GB at 140 W board power. ## What you need to know NVIDIA RTX A4000 is a desktop gpu with a thin public spec record. NVIDIA RTX A4000 launched in April 12, 2021. 16 GB is the frame buffer on the reference sheet. Treat the spec table as the facts. Missing fields stay Unknown. - **Still good?**: For lighter settings and older games **Product age**: 5 years old **Upgrade pressure**: Moderate Feex says If games feel slow on this card, I would check the CPU, RAM, and the driver before I shop for the next series. ## What this hardware means today Age and usefulness are not the same number. This page keeps them separate. - **Performance today**: **Good.** Still strong for 1440p and creator work when the rest of the PC keeps up. **Product age 5 years old**: **Aging.** Launched April 12, 2021. Newer series exist. That does not make this card unusable by itself. **Support status **: **Supported.** Current GeForce Game Ready and Studio drivers still cover this generation unless the vendor has retired it. **Upgrade pressure **: **Moderate.** Upgrade pressure comes from native 4K, VRAM-heavy titles, or wanting current-generation features. ## Where does it sit? This NVIDIA line sits on the recent GeForce RTX timeline. Partner cards can change coolers, connectors, and clocks. RTX 20 RTX 30 RTX 40 RTX 50 ## Performance context These are qualitative readings, not a fake 8.7 out of 10. Resolution, settings, and the CPU still win. ### 1080p gaming: Good More GPU than most 1080p setups need if this card is in the current or previous generation. ### 1440p gaming: Good This is the job many desktop cards in this class were sold for. ### 4K gaming: Limited Native 4K is where memory size and the memory bus show up. Upscaling changes the picture. ### Creator work: Good GPU acceleration in apps is real. Large timelines still want more VRAM than a thin card has. ### Efficiency: Excellent The sheet lists 140 W board power. Partner cards can differ. ## Should you upgrade? Probably not if the card is not the bottleneck. ### Upgrade makes more sense if - Current games are GPU-bound at your resolution and settings - Current games are GPU-bound at your resolution and settings - You need current-generation features this card does not have - Your present GPU is a much older generation and this would be a real step up ### Upgrade makes less sense if - You already play at a resolution this card can feed - The CPU, RAM, or storage is what actually stalls the machine - You are shopping for a newer card in the same class to fix a software or driver problem ## Specifications Figures below follow the Feex Hardware Database record for this SKU. Partner cards can still differ. Fields without a recorded value are omitted. ### Graphics processor | Manufacturer | NVIDIA | | ------------ | ------------ | | Family | RTX | | GPU | GA104-875-A1 | | Integrated | No | | Mobile | No | | Workstation | No | | Segment | Desktop | ### Memory NVIDIA RTX A4000 addresses 16 GB. | Memory size | 16 GB | | ----------- | ----- | ### Power and board NVIDIA RTX A4000 lists 140 W board power. | Board power | 140 W | | ----------- | ----- | ### Market NVIDIA RTX A4000 launched April 12, 2021. | Launch date | April 12, 2021 | | ----------- | -------------- | ## Independent scores ### These are third-party benchmark figures stored in the Feex Hardware Database.

The power plug is a partner-card detail. | | Case | Length, thickness, and slot count vary by partner cooler. Measure the case, not the SKU name. | The SKU name is not a cooler, a length, or a power plug. Read the exact partner card before you buy or install. Seat power connectors fully. A loose high-power plug can overheat. That is a connector problem, not a reason to assume the GPU is dead. Driver packages from a previous GPU are a common crash source. Clean-install the current vendor package before you replace hardware. ### No display after install Plug the monitor into the GPU outputs, not the motherboard, unless this is an integrated part. A black screen with fans spinning is often a power plug, a seated PCIe card, or the display cable. ### Driver installs, then games crash Use the vendor package that matches this generation. A leftover driver from a previous GPU is a common cause. ## Related These entities connect to this article. Type is shown on every link.
