Performance Comparison

About G3D Mark

🏆 Chipversus Verdict

⚠️ Generational Difference

The RTX A400 is significantly newer (2024 vs 2015). The RTX A400 likely supports modern features like Ray Tracing, Tensor Cores, and DLSS/FSR upscaling, which act as force multipliers for performance. The Quadro M4000M lacks this hardware feature set, limiting its longevity in modern titles despite any raw power similarities.

🚀 Performance Leadership

The Quadro M4000M is the superior choice for raw performance. It leads with a 2.8% higher G3D Mark score. This advantage makes it significantly better for higher resolutions (1440p/4K) and graphic-intensive titles compared to the RTX A400.

Insight	RTX A400	Quadro M4000M
Performance	❌Lower raw frame rates (-2.8%)	✅Leading raw performance (+2.8%)
Longevity	🏆Elite Architecture (Ampere (2020−2025) / 8nm)	🛑Obsolete Architecture (2015 / Maxwell 2.0 (2014−2019))
