Quadro RTX 4000 vs RTX A6000 benchmarks

For gaming, the RTX A6000 graphics card is better than the Quadro RTX 4000 in our tests.

The RTX A6000 has a slightly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. In addition, the RTX A6000 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the Quadro RTX 4000 has a significantly lower TDP at 160 W when compared to the RTX A6000 at 300 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the RTX A6000 over the Quadro RTX 4000.
