NVIDIA RTX A4500 20GB — Benchmarks & Specs

20 GB VRAM200W TDP$1,700 MSRP2021

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

At 1440p (Highest), the NVIDIA RTX A4500 20GB averages 122 fps in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, per CpuTronic. For local LLM inference it generates 286.0 tokens/sec running llama3.2:1b at q4_K_M under llamafile, per LocalScore (Mozilla Builders). In PassMark G3D Mark it scores 20,657 points, per PassMark. Its 20 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.
