RTX A4000 vs GeForce RTX 4080 benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card is better than the RTX A4000 in our tests.

The GeForce RTX 4080 has a significantly 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 GeForce RTX 4080 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

As stated by the manufacturer, they both have the same amount of memory at 16 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the RTX A4000 has a significantly lower TDP at 140 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4080 at 420 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 4080 is faster than the RTX A4000.
