NVIDIA RTX A5500 24GB — Benchmarks & Specs

24 GB VRAM230W TDP$2,500 MSRP2021

Bottom line: how fast is the NVIDIA RTX A5500 24GB?

At 1440p (Highest), the NVIDIA RTX A5500 24GB averages 150 fps in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, per topcpu.net. For local LLM inference it generates 130.1 tokens/sec running llama2:7b at q4_0 under llama.cpp, per llama.cpp GitHub Discussions. In GeekBench 5 OpenCL it scores 173,222 points, per technical.city. Its 24 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: that capacity fits 32B-parameter models at Q4 without offloading to system RAM.

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 A5500 24GB is a graphics card from the Ampere Pro family released in 2021 from NVIDIA. Key on-paper specs include 24 GB of GDDR VRAM, 230W TDP. It launched with a $2,500 MSRP, though street prices typically diverge meaningfully from launch pricing — see the linked product cards below for current Amazon listings. Data on this page draws on 10 synthetic benchmark results, 12 community AI inference reports, 8 measured game frame-rate results, aggregated from public benchmark databases (TechPowerUp, PassMark, Geekbench, Cinebench) and the LocalLLaMA community.
