Bottom line: how fast is the NVIDIA RTX A4000 16GB?

At 1440p (Ultra), the NVIDIA RTX A4000 16GB averages 222 fps in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, per TechSpot. For local LLM inference it generates 116.2 tokens/sec running qwen3:4b at q4_K_M under other, per GPUBattle. In PassMark G3D Mark it scores 19,367 points, per PassMark Software. Its 16 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: that capacity fits 13-17B-parameter models at Q4 with room for long context.

Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.
