The RTX A4000 and A5000 are mid-range ‘Quadro’ GPUs in everything but name. Nvidia recently launched the Nvidia RTX A4500 and RTX A5500 to held boost supply of its high-end pro workstation GPUs. And it’s here that the new Nvidia RTX A4000 and Nvidia RTX A5000 come into play.Īnnounced at Nvidia’s GTC event this year, the PCIe Gen 4 ‘Ampere’ Nvidia RTX A4000 and Nvidia RTX A5000 are the replacements for the PCIe Gen 3 ‘Turing’ Nvidia Quadro RTX 4000 and Quadro RTX 5000, which launched in 2019. Of course, the Nvidia RTX A6000 is complete overkill for most architects or product designers who simply want a capable GPU for real-time visualisation, GPU rendering or VR. With 48 GB of memory and buckets of processing power, the dual slot 300W graphics card is designed for the most demanding visualisation workflows – think city-scale digital twins or complex product visualisations using very hi-fidelity textures, such as those captured from real-life scans.

In February 2021 we reviewed the Nvidia RTX A6000, the first pro desktop GPU to be based on Nvidia’s ‘Ampere’ architecture.

With more memory and significantly enhanced processing, they promise to make light work of demanding real-time ray tracing, GPU rendering and VR workflows. Nvidia’s new Ampere-based pro GPUs, the Nvidia RTX A4000 and RTX A5000, offer a big step up from the Turing-based Quadro RTX family.
