NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Performs Close To A RTX 3060 Ti While Consuming 63% Lower Power

wccftech.com:

NVIDIA recently launched its RTX 4000 SFF Ada graphics card, showing the incredible power efficiency gains that the Ada architecture brings to GPUs.

The NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada is the smallest workstation-grade Ada GPU that you can buy. It does cost around the same as the RTX 4080 at $1250 US but the latter doesn't come with the Pro driver suite and extended capabilities and support associated with the workstation family. It makes use of the AD104 GPU with 6144 CUDA cores and offers 20 GB of GDDR6 memory.

Now that the card has hit store shelves & is available in abundance, especially in the Asian markets, the Japanese outlet, jisakuhibi, decided to test the graphics card through a range of tests. The card can be seen tested through a range of synthetic applications (3DMark) and games which is not the best choice for this card since it isn't optimized around gaming. But still, the graphics card is able to offer up to 90-95% of the performance of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti graphics card.

This wouldn't be surprising since the NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada comes with more cores, more VRAM and a brand new graphics architecture but what makes this comparison interesting is the fact that the new graphics card consumed 63% lower power than the RTX 3060 Ti. At the same time, it was a 70% jump over its predecessor, the RTX A2000.

The RTX A2000 is its true predecessor since the RTX A4000 has twice the TDP (140W) and also a much higher price point. The RTX 4000 & RTX A2000 are more similar in terms of their SFF designs and product segmentation.

Furthermore, despite its SFF
