Bottom line: how fast is the NVIDIA RTX A4500 20GB?

At 4K Ultra, the NVIDIA RTX A4500 20GB averages 48 fps in Tom Clancy's The Division 2, per Cloud Gaming Battle. For local LLM inference it generates 44.0 tokens/sec running qwen2.5:14b at q4_K_M under llama.cpp, per LocalScore. In PassMark G3D Mark it scores 20,657 points, per PassMark. It has 20 GB of VRAM, and the qwen2.5:14b run above (14B parameters) is the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card. Larger models have no sourced run on file.

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.

The NVIDIA RTX A4500 20GB is a graphics card from the Ampere Pro family released in 2021 from NVIDIA. Key on-paper specs include 20 GB of GDDR6 VRAM, 200W TDP.
