NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000. The NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 delivers GPU-accelerated ray tracing, deep learning, and advanced shading in an accessible single-slot form factor.
The NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 features 36 RT cores to accelerate ray tracing, 288 Tensor cores to accelerate artificial intelligence, and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory to accommodate large datasets.
It’s equipped with three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors with HDR support and features the latest Virtual Link connector (which can also drive a DisplayPort panel via an included USB Type-C to DP adapter) to simplify connectivity with next-generation VR hands. Plus, with Quadro Sync II, you can deploy massive digital display solutions at higher density and lower cost.
Turing GPU Architecture
Based on a state-of-the-art 12nm FFN (NVIDIA FinFET) high-performance manufacturing process, customized for NVIDIA to incorporate 2304 CUDA cores, the Quadro RTX 4000 GPU is the most powerful computing platform for HPC, AI, VR, and graphics workloads on professional desktops in a single slot. The Turing GPU architecture enables the biggest leap in real-time computer graphics rendering since NVIDIA invented programmable shaders in 2001. It includes 13.6 billion transistors on a 545 mm2 die.
RT cores
New dedicated hardware-based ray-tracing technology enables the GPU for the first time to render cinematic-quality, photorealistic objects, and environments in real-time with physically accurate shadows, reflections, and refractions. The real-time ray-tracing engine works with NVIDIA OptiX, Microsoft DXR, and Vulkan APIs to deliver a level of realism far beyond what is possible with traditional rendering techniques. RT cores accelerate Bounding Volume Hierarchy (BVH) traversal and ray tracing functions using a reduced number of rays cast through a pixel.
Improved Tensor Cores
New mixed-precision cores designed specifically for deep learning matrix arithmetic, providing 8 times more TFLOPS for training compared to the previous generation. The NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 uses 288 Tensor Cores; each Tensor Core performs 64 floating-point FMA (fused multiply-add) operations per clock, and each SM performs a total of 1024 individual floating-point operations per clock. In addition, to support FP16/FP32 matrix operations, the new Tensor Cores have added precision INT8 (2048 integer operations per clock) and experimental INT4 and INT1 (binary) modes for matrix operations.
Advanced shading technologies
Mesh shading: Computer-based geometry pipeline to speed up geometry processing and removal on geometrically complex models and scenes. Mesh shading provides up to 2x performance improvement for geometry-related workloads. Variable Rate Shading (VRS): Gain rendering efficiency by varying the shading rate based on scene content, gaze direction, and motion. Variable rate shading provides similar image quality with a 50% reduction in shaded pixels. Texture Space Shading: Shading of object/texture space to improve the performance of work tasks that require a pixel shader, such as depth of field and motion blur. Texture space shading provides higher throughput with increased fidelity by reusing pre-shadowed texels for VR workloads that require a large pixel-shader volume.

Vas très bien, elle est performante pour tout même pour jouer à élite dangerours.
Le seul problème, c’est que la carte est très mal refroidie, donc on ne peux jouer plus de 30-45 min max. Après tout se met à planter.
Donc, exelante performance pour le travail bureau, mais pas vraiment pour les jeux à cause de la surchauffe.

Firstly, I’ve been looking forward to receiving this because I’m in desperate need of an upgrade to my GPU. After an extensive amount of research this was the best option for me on both performance and financial levels. Moving on.
I was extremely excited to receive this package. It’s a big size compared to the standard GPU’s that’s installed in mii PC. But, upon unboxing it did not come with any documentation as a few others complained about. And as a newbie to the technology field there was no installation manual. I feel there should be an install manual regardless of one’s level of expertise. I ended up taking my PC to the local tech shop to help install the new GPU. When I pick it up tomorrow and play with it for the next couple of weeks I’ll update this review for everyone regarding its overall performance.
UPDATE: 12/15/20 – *This is mii review as a film maker/video editor, not a gamer.
Pro’s:
So, after a LOT of troubleshooting with how to better utilize this card so it can deliver on its hype regarding all specs, I have to say I’m pretty pleased with the outcome. I’m not that tech savvy so apologies for not being able to provide you all with actual numbers. But, I use this card for editing in mii Davinci Resolve software and the performance is more fluid than what I was experiencing before. Mii work flow consists of the normal steps for editing a feature film: color, sound, trimming, etc. Additionally, it handles well with creating 2d models in Fusion and rendering them out. I was able to create some portal effects for mii current project and it ran fairly smoothly. Rendering out mii projects has been a cinch! I think that’s what I’m most pleased with out of everything. The clips that I’m currently rendering out finish (depending on length) anywhere between 0:30 secs – 3:35. It really does help when you know the program you’re working with and how to set everything so it works in unison with your GPU before beginning a project. Teamwork makes the dream work with these babies 🙂
Con’s:
I have to say that while I am enjoying the work flow more now, I did have to divide mii film into 8 separate sections in order to work fluidly. It was still giving me issues with lag and freezing and I presumed that was because of the amount of work (data) I had in mii film. Especially, the SPFX with the portals I was creating. Working in smaller sections helped immensely, but it can’t deliver when it comes to editing a film with “fair” amount of SPFX. To give you an idea, I’m not doing anything “ILM” type. I’m merely creating some basic particles that swirl around and have that nice glow to it, then adding that as a layer to mii footage. That’s it. Next, I did “some” digging and found that the RTX 4k can’t be joined with a similar GPU to increase performance. This is what I’m currently searching for so that I can get more for less since the higher end GPU’s are just too expensive for me. I’m not sure if this is true or not, but if you’re more of an expert at this than I am I’m sure you’ll figure it out. Mii last bit is regarding the price and where to purchase. Mii next go-around will be with Newegg, B&H, etc. Amazon definitely upscales their prices on these cards and it’s not right. I found this card via a compatibility search for mii motherboard, on Newegg for HALF the price I paid on here! Yea, that pissed me off! But you live and learn and newbies like miiself will simply have to do more research when it comes to products they don’t fully understand. Regardless, I won’t be purchasing any sort of electronics (in this capacity) from Amazon ever again as I found they upscale ALL of their cards. Right now I’m saving for the GeForce RTX 3090 to get back in stock and Newegg had it marked at $1,800, while Amazon has it currently at $2,600.
I hope this helps some of you. Stay safe out there and happy editing/gaming holidays to you all 🙂

It shines in many CAD applications where GTX fails to impress. Renderings in KeyShot 9 and live view update are blazing fast. An entry level RTX card but outshines many desktops GPU’s in engineering tools.

Card would only recognize 3 of the 4 monitors attached, one 4K the others of lesser resolution.
Returned product in original packaging and condition within 2 days of receipt. Was charged a substantial “restocking” fee which is not in line with Amazon return policy.

I now own both the Quadro P4000 and Quadro RTX 4000 – so, I’ll try to help with your Professional decision making. Gamers should refer to Geforce RTX & GTX reviews:
From research and what I have experienced personally – Quadro leans heavily towards OpenGL stability and accuracy – especially, when matched with ECC memory and multi-core CPUs (greater than 4 cores IMO). The exception is single-core performance when modeling (CPU architecture – which I favor Intel in this category).
The RTX 4000 is unique – because it unlocks FP16 performance normally reserved for Gaming cards (hmmm..). And, every program I have based on Direct 3D performance is on steroids now.
**UPDATE: My favorite programs (SolidWorks 2019, **Solid Edge 2020, Adobe Premiere/Photoshop,** Keyshot 9, Blender) – all love this new RTX 4000 card (in one form or another):
>SolidWorks 2019 (heavy on OpenGL and some D3D) – the performance increase is ridiculous (thank you Dassault) – especially viewport performance, animation, and rendering. Go bigger than the 4000 – if you need scientific data / accuracy. Dassault is paying attention (IMO)
>** Solid Edge 2020 (OpenGL with acceptance to D3D) – is stable and functional – WELL DONE SIEMENS – the newest version is a treasure (Simulation & Generative design are incredible). RTX 4000 and P4000 are both good choices
>** Keyshot 9 Render (Holy God!!!) – I have to change this review – because the new Keyshot 9 is amazing with GPU / CPU rendering that will blow your socks off. The RTX 4000 is a beast at GPU rendering (Thank You Keyshot Team)
>Blender (Direct 3D heavy) – models are much more fluent, viewports load and manipulate better, Mesh conversions and animations are incredible (thanks to FP16 performance gains). A lot easier to work between Parametric (files with high triangles) and Polygonal (files with low triangles) with the RTX
>**Adobe (Everything You Got) – A lot more support for RTX since my last review. Adobe will not be silenced in this revolution. The RTX 4000 is a strong performer with Adobe products.
OpenGL (professionals): is used extensively in the fields of computer-aided design (CAD), virtual reality, scientific visualization, information visualization, flight simulation, and video games. [Wikipedia]
Direct3D (gamers & professionals now): is a graphics application programming interface (API) for Microsoft Windows. Part of DirectX, Direct3D is used to render three-dimensional graphics in applications where performance is important, such as games. [Wikipedia]
Please do your research – and, I hope this helps the newbies looking for the Quadro experience

Normally Amazon is very quick to refund on returns. For some reason this one has taken several weeks and repeated promises by Amazon agents that “tickets” were being opened but more weeks go by with nothing happening. I’ve been through endless hours following up on this with no success. Avoid buying this item cause it’s a lot of money for Amazon to hold hostage!!!
