This Tiny GPU Packs Some SERIOUS Power!!! - RTX 4000 Ada Generation SFF Review

[@darkace256]

A price to performance comparison of the RTX 4000 and the new 4060 low profile would be interesting.

[@NunoAlmeida-sh9ru]

there is a 4060 low profile ?

[@dyhchang]

@@NunoAlmeida-sh9ru yeah, Gigabyte RTX 4060 OC Low Profile 8G. The RTX 4000 Ada Generation has more VRAM and uses the RTX 4070 gpu chip with lower clocks, lower memory bandwidth/bus width, and less power. @darkace256 In this video we have the RTX 3070 performance comparison, where it scores -15% on Graphics. However on the 3dmark Fire Strike database it shows other computers with much higher scores, so your overclocking headroom may vary it seems.

[@Spreadie]

@@NunoAlmeida-sh9ru yup, I bought one for my uSFF rig.

[@smashpro1]

@@NunoAlmeida-sh9ru Yeah, but it does need an 8 pin power connector, instead of getting all its power from the PCIe slot.

[@Maisonier]

Could you include some numbers on image generation with Stable Diffusion, running an LLM, Blender, along with a graph showing the relationship between power consumption and results for this GPU, please? Excellent video, as always.

[@Teksers]

Great performance. In about 3 years I'll be able to afford and buy one. I hope that SFF cards will be more frequent in the future not just for workstation cards buty also consumer. For cunsumer right now we only have the RTX 4060 from Gigabyte and no one else and that needs 4 pin power.

[@noth606]

Would be fun to have that sort of options, but there is no market for higher end SFF consumer GPU's really, at least not enough to support competition in it. Consumers have no reason generally to fork out a premium to go for SFF in particular not if it is actively cooled which makes it louder. Aside from SFF enthusiasts but that is a very niche market split even smaller if you take out the HTPC guys who'll go for passively cooled lower spec cards since they don't need it to do 3D stuff really. I don't think the LP 4060 is a money maker even as the only card in it's bracket.

[@ChrisPkmn]

Thank you for reviewing these! I love seeing a gpu get outclassed by a lower power draw, more vram, and better performance - to me that is what progress is all about

[@MrFoof82]

Around 3060 to 3060 Ti performance for 70W is actually interesting, depending on what folks want them for. I assume they come with full height brackets as well? They'll be interesting to see what they fetch on the used market in a few years, and what the 5000-series SFF will bring in 2025.

Use 6 RTX 4000, 2 in my workstation and 2 in each server that are built as render farm, but I don't play games The A-series card is also possible to NVlink for dubble the Vram and use two cards as one

[@WedgeStratos]

The 20GB of VRAM would make this a perfect GPU for handling VR-modded Resident Evil or Cyberpunk, and being 4070/4080 class guarantees it'll handle it without too much interpolation.

[@b127_1]

This is nowhere near the performance of a 4080. It might have the cores, but it uses way less power. The 3dmark section shows the 4000 Ada sff losing to a 3070. Not great. Instead, I'd buy a 3090 or 4090 if you need the ram and the performance, just don't expect them to be efficient.

[@Bob_Smith19]

4070 and 4080 aren’t in the same class. There’s even a card, 4070TI, between them. It would have to be in one class or the other.

[@Steven-hq3go]

It's 3060ti performance so more like 4050 class

[@p_sn00ter]

@Jeff, you should take a look at the Intel ARC A30, A40, A50 and A60 cards with the A50 being the same size and form factor the RTX A4000 SFF. Obviously, they won't be as powerful BUT are cheaper options and the same form factor

[@rudder3084]

I personally would like to see more gaming cards in such a form factor, unfortunately it may come at a steep premium unfortunately. Anyway great vid and it's always interesting to see how much you can get out of different architectures with such a low wattage and it honestly surprises me with this one.

[@Vicorcivius]

I got an old 1050ti in this form factor, its still running strong, used to over heat though, had to mod it with an extra fan and heatsync. works good like that, funny thing it is.

[@Brebgon]

RTX 3050 low profile is out now

[@ilijazafirov4192]

I have the A2000 6GB and using it in an HP office PC with Intel 8700 CPU, it was my temporary replacement PC while i was rebuilding my gaming rig. It's solid enough for gaming, I even played PC VR games on it, but the more demanding VR games sometimes crash. I will keep it in that office PC or get a better one with better CPU and reuse it, it is a great GPU to have. It was good to see the comparison with the A4000 SFF card and i have been waiting for it for months already. Sadly the A4000 SFF is too pricey and just not worth it for us mere mortals.

[@paulbrooks4395]

Ooo I want to see this in your cloud gaming build. This would be awesome in a 1U, split between two people it may give good performance with enough VRAM. I’d love to see two 1080p RTX games running on VMs at the same time!

[@Tommy_The_Gun]

You know what is crazy ? RTX A2000 & A4000 have only 70 watt TDP, so no need for addition power plug (only powered from Pci slot). On top of that RTX 2000 is around RTX 3050 (130 TDP, almost double of A2000) when it comes to performance. RTX A4000 is also 70 TDP, but when it comes to performance it is rather around RTX 4060Ti (165 TDP, again more than double of A4000). May I know... WHYYY ?! I can accept a gpu that is a size of a brick, but why why why consumer market can't have a power efficient GPU ? I mean technology is RIGHT THERE. Same company somehow can make a card like that. In current time when energy prices are sky rocketing, wouldn't you think that maybe a power efficient desktop gpu would be highly demanded first and foremost on the Consumer market, rather than professional one ? I don't really care about additional features used in pro market. You can even remove ray tracing from that card. It is just a shame that in order to have something that was commonly available (compact size gpu that is power deficient) you need to pay extra for "miniaturization fee". It is same as with phones. There used to be a lot of mid-range phones that were compact. Now ? It is treated as premium feature.

[@MattVickers]

My take home from this is that desktop cards use obscene amounts of power and we need efficiency regulations

[@Bob_Smith19]

No, we do not need efficiency regulations. Governments screw up everything they touch. Especially in the US. Just look at modern washers and dishwashers. Both of them are more “efficient” but neither one cleans as well as older models leading to multiple run cycles which negates the efficiency gains. Let the market work itself out naturally. If people want efficient cards they will buy them. It’s why I bought a 4070. Granted, it still draws a decent amount of power but it has more performance at less power than the card it replaced and its idle power is a lot less as well.

[@MattVickers]

I knew someone would bite at that part. Don't take ma freedumbs! (yells at cloud). Meanwhile, the rest of the world is more sensible, hopefully the EU leads the way

[@handlemonium]

Um....I run my RTX 3060 power limited at 66% on an overclock and it still manages stock performance. All RTX 3000 & 4000 cards and maybe even 2000 cards should be able to do the same.

[@bencampbell5476]

I think the 4000 would be great for small but mighty video editing systems like Avid or Da Vinci

[@droknron]

A great little card. I've been thinking about getting the single-slot full-height version of this for a server where I don't want to lose two expansion slots to one card. The price premium is spicy for both versions of this card but it certainly packs a punch for its size.

[@sagejpc1175]

Plex server?

[@droknron]

@@sagejpc1175 I was thinking local LLM's using Serge in a docker, image generators and also Plex. So a lot of machine learning (thus the 20GB of VRAM and good single slot performance) and some Plex transcoding for good measure. If I only needed a Plex card I'd definitely look at something way lower down the scale like a RTX 4060 (just for the newest transcoder).

I had been curious about this GPU since it's release. Currently have a precision 3660 with an A2000 12GB in it. Have looked into the RTX 4000 and the RTX 4000 Ada versions. But for games, not much if anything I could find. Until now! It really shows just how good the performance per watt is on ada!

[@vitoswat]

I'd love to see how it performs as split to vGPU. Lots of VRAM gives hopes for some nice perfrormance. Next episode of gaming server?

I love it when you switch tones completely when talking about the beer! Clearly... you LOVE beer! I do too! :)

[@ianide2480]

Only speaking from the CAD software that I have deployed; Solidworks, NX, and AutoCAD for my users at work. These CAD packages run FAR better on workstation graphics that are speced below your average 3060 and they kind of run like crap on your normal off the shelf "gaming" cards. The reason is the workstation graphics drivers. There is some magic in the drivers that is not available on consumer cards that allows them to run better on these CAD packages. Even on just a single 3D, relatively non complicated, model (not a large assembly) the performance difference is visibly noticeable. Exactly the same performance difference that can be likened to seeing a lot frame drops in a game. If all you need is CAD performance for these CAD packages, it just needs to be workstation class and I would never recommend that price tag for this use case. I'd just spend the dollars on something 3-4 generations old in the mid tier of workstation class.

[@hudsonreynolds4349]

Love this video. Amazing content as always Jeff!

[@AnticipatedHedgehog]

Very impressive performance, I wish I had the professional workload to justify a new gpu. With electricity costs and space heater temps in mind, 75 watts tdp would be a big upgrade. Sure 4k gaming is fun but in the summer 😢

There also is a Tesla L4 and it uses AD104 with 7680 cuda cores and also 24GB of memory with 192bit bus

[@michaelchristianrusso]

I know that gaming benchmarks get the views, but I would have been interested in seeing how it compares in AI acceleration/inference tasks compared to the A2000 (both due to increased cores and memory). I mean, that's what these were designed for, as you say.

[@reviewaccount469]

I made a similar post. The only reason I watched this review was for gauging AI performance to determine what card to buy for a server I'm building for local LLMs and Diffusion. I hadn't searched the entire internet, but it seems like AI benchmarks are relegated to the hardcore review blogs like Tom's Hardware and Anandtech, but I'm hoping these metrics will start getting more mainstream attention.

[@michaelchristianrusso]

Well, whatever, it's annoying, but maybe it's fine if this stuff (like a lot of developments in AI) are murky and in the dark to the general public for now for "job security" reasons anyway. I suppose it's qualitatively harder to performance benchmark for as well, considering that there's no retail software available that generalizes all of the tasks into a discrete number that I'm aware of (for games, it's mainly just "how many triangles can it draw and how fast"), and the amount of VRAM and bus bandwidth in a card can be just as or more important for performance implications than raw compute power (as opposed to gaming where it's mainly just a bottleneck-preventer). @@reviewaccount469

[@Spreadie]

I have a 4 litre uSFF gaming PC that has been home to a GT1650 LP, an RTX A2000 and, most recently, the Gigabyte RTX 4060 LP, all of them run fine on a 250W GaN PSU. I would love the RTX 4000 SFF, but it cost four time the price of the 4060 LP and, if my A2000 was anything to go by, the 4060 LP is much much quieter. The one thing I didn't like about the A2000 was the minimum 30% fan speed ( yeah, I modded mine to run the fan off a motherboard header, via an adapter cable). However, even undervolted to ~ 90W, the 4060LP still draws more power than the A2000 & A4000 SFF. I'd love to see a third party A4000 SFF with the same cooler as Gigabyte uses on the 4060 LP. That'd be the current pinnacle of the SFF GPU world. We can dream.

[@mossim100]

Best GPU review of the past year! Really interesting for future SFF-builds.

[@gwjones82009]

I'd love to see what that thing can do on an ML compute analysis and rendering workload, since that is my use case, granted i have a VERY tiny multi-purpose DB machine that is primarily a compute and storage machine. It's an EPYC 3451 and only is a PCIE 3 system, but it does have 8 20 TB Exos drives, 64 gigs of DDR4 So-Dimm and currently has a 2070 ASUS ITX graphics card in it, primarily offloading long render time stuff, and ML Compute based DB analysis. and YES i still refer to it as ML, since i don't train for LLM, or graphics analysis, my ML is all Neural net Cuda compute.

Im a hige fan of graphics cards that dont require external power. I keep an MSI GTX 1650 Ventus around that has come in extremely handy for quick troubleshooting and occasionally just playing around with for fun. I really really really wish we would get at least a modern 75w pci slot powered card with each new generation with the accompanying performance per watt improvements. Preferably a low profile version for the people dropping a graphics card into an office PC to reduce e-waste. Plus a normal height version for better cooling and quieter opperation. We know there is a market for them based off the used price for said cards but somehow companies seem to be blind to this. Side note, the ASRock low profile version of the Intel ARC a380 goes on sale for $99 occasionally for a brand new in the box card. According to Techpowerup it is roughly around the same performance as a GTX 1650. A comparable low profile 1650 seems to be selling for about $175 used on ebay currently which is absurd.

Just a heads up for Optiplex 9020/7060 sff owners: With these cards and others like the Low Profile 4060, the x16 PCI slot is on the "wrong" side for this card.

I've heard reports of this thing matching or outperforming a 3080TI I think it was, after power modding it. Apparently PCIe slots are not hard limited to 75 watts, that's just the minimum spec and what lower end boards are spec'd for. I think they were drawing something like 130 watts from the slot and it was chugging along happily. As long as you have decent VRM on the motherboard it'll do way above 75 watts from the slot.

[@jafizzle95]

As a person with a P4, T400, and P620 all in use... Yes.

Nice review of what looks like an interesting move from Nvidia future is bright for single slot lower power consumption cards it’s seems

[@nicholaushilliard6811]

Looking to stream, encode and decode H265 and AV1 codecs, its PERFECT

[@paulhorn24]

Video editing: Are there some older / used GPU that have shown to be a good deal in 2023 or promise to be not completely outdated and useless in 2024 ? Thanks a lot!

[@Rickcscott]

I have an older supermicro server chassis with a threadripper pro in it. the Mobo takes the 2 available 12v EPS lines and the rest...molex (bleh). these would be great for passthrough gaming VMs! Super niche use case, but not much else is out there for decent gaming gpus that run solely off of pcie slot power.

That little thing is almost as fast as my 2080 was and it was a big thick boy

[@sammay1540]

If you wanted to add just a bit more value to your analysis, provide the napkin math for how long it would take for the energy savings to make it worth it for the more compute oriented users. You do a great job either way though! Thank you.

[@Devills_hill]

That price is a steal considering the 1600+ euro we have to pay over here 😂

[@mugglepower]

mans put that glass on the table to make us nervous

[@mugglepower]

I would be interested to see this in an ultra small form factor case with something like a ITX mobile, Maybe a steam deck XL with dedicated graphics?? Watercool it with external radiator or something lol. would only make sense then. If you put this in standard SFF case, there are totally cards more powerful and affordable, that you could fit in their despite being slightly larger. for the price tag its difficult to justify for non commercial users. Especially with people cramming 4080s into SFF cases barely the size of a drawer.

[@seanthomas2906]

Brilliant information as always guv . Have you tried the intel range of GPUs. I think they are cheap? Might be interesting.

[@Grimmwoldds]

Point of order: This is not meant to be an AI accelerator, it's a weird CAD workstation card. It has a low memory clock and a 160 bit memory bus. Neural nets need VRAM, and they need memory bandwidth. They're just a huge matrix of numbers that need to have linear algebra performed on them. The newest server CPUs would be faster at running neural nets than this card.

[@BladeRunner21577]

Great review. How does the RTX 4000 compare to a desktop graphics card of the same price like the 4090?

[@Jawesome1Shazam]

4080 and 4090 still better for now if you want that kind of power and if you're looking for a mid range card the 4070 is still slightly better and much cheaper.

[@BladeRunner21577]

@@Jawesome1Shazam No.... I know that the 4080/4090 will be faster etc I was just wondering by how much thats all. This little thing looks like it could be quite a stunning bit of kit but I wonder by how much.

[@Jawesome1Shazam]

@@BladeRunner21577 it's comparable in price to a 4080 and the 4070 is better than it.

[@tws654]

a gaming performance comparison of the RTX 4000 SFF and RTX 3070, 4060, 4070 would be awesome

[@carter7894]

Very interesting video. It’s awesome to see a jump as big as the RTX a2000 to RTX a4000 sff ada. That’s the difference between a gtx 1660 6gb and a 20gb RTX 3070

[@heybwatspoppin4324]

I just recently purchased a RTX 4000 Ada generation card for my AI server. I am kinda upset that a $1,200 card doesn't have 24 GB VRAM, especially for the application I am aiming to use it for, however it has been excellent in freeing up resources for my main compute cluster to do training operations while this performs inference operations.

[@smallrino1457]

Yo i know this’ll probably be ignored but are those GPUs able to be used for a gaming server. Like can it be used for lets say Ark Survival Servers, or Minecraft or whatever? IF so which one would you recommend for a cheap and efficient server? As i would be interested in building a gaming server, which is capable of most if not all games on the market that offer servers.

[@stop_tryharding]

I'm looking forward to when these are 2 or 3 generations old and going for ~1/3 of the price so I can slap 4+ of them in a homelab for gobs of VRAM to load LLMs. Bit too pricey right now but it's hard to not be impressed with such power at 70w.

[@MrHyde-wv8wi]

Interesting. You cover all sides of the spectrum. I'm a lot closer to the Budget End of that Spectrum. 🧐 Big Thumbs Up.

[@MitchDenham]

This thing is sick! It would have been cool to see how it performs in a home media server serving a Plex media server etc.
