The Quadro RTX 4000 is an enthusiast-class professional graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on November 13th, 2018. Built on the 12 nm process, and based on the TU104 graphics processor, in its TU104-850-A1 variant, the card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate. The TU104 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 545 mm² and 13,600 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, which uses the same GPU but has all 3072 shaders enabled, NVIDIA has disabled some shading units on the Quadro RTX 4000 to reach the product’s target shader count. It features 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. Also included are 288 tensor cores which help improve the speed of machine learning applications. The card also has 36 raytracing acceleration cores. NVIDIA has paired 8 GB GDDR6 memory with the Quadro RTX 4000, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1005 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1545 MHz, memory is running at 1625 MHz (13 Gbps effective).
Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 draws power from 1x 8-pin power connector, with power draw rated at 160 W maximum. Display outputs include: 3x DisplayPort 1.4a, 1x USB Type-C. Quadro RTX 4000 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 3.0 x16 interface. The card measures 241 mm in length, 111 mm in width, and features a single-slot cooling solution.
