Technical Analysis

Detailed breakdown of RTX A4500 specifications and capabilities.

Graphics Performance

The RTX A4500 scores 21,094 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the High-End tier as a Aging generation graphics card. It is built on the Ampere (2020−2025) architecture (codename: GA102), manufactured on a 8 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 7168 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 224 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 96 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 23.65 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1650 MHz from a base of 1050 MHz.
