She has almost the same parameters, but 16 GB of memory

The question of the lack of 8 GB of memory for video cards remains on the agenda, and the authors of the Hardware Unboxed channel found probably the most adequate way to check whether everything is really so bad in the case of the GeForce RTX 3070 model. They took the Nvidia RTX A4000 for comparison.

This is a professional accelerator based on the same GA104 GPU. It has slightly more CUDA cores (6144 versus 5888 for the RTX 3070), but the difference is small and the frequencies are lower.

As you can see, the RTX 3070 is far behind its sister adapter. In some games and modes, the difference can be multiple. In some cases, the RTX 3070 shows higher performance, but suffers from ragged gameplay, and in the game Forspoken, the situation is completely amusing: the RTX 3070 shows much better performance, there are no particular problems with smoothness, however, the textures look bad and clearly have significantly less detail.

Thus, there is no doubt that the RTX 3070 is not enough for 8 GB of memory. Earlier we saw a comparison of such a card with a modified version, which was soldered with an additional 8 GB, but in the case of the current comparison, everything is simpler and more correct.

RTX a4000 vs RTX 3070

The RTX A4000 and RTX 3070 are both powerful GPUs, but they are designed for different purposes. The RTX A4000 is a professional graphics card that is targeted at creative professionals and engineers, while the RTX 3070 is a gaming graphics card.

Here is a table comparing the two GPUs:

Feature RTX A4000 RTX 3070
CUDA cores 6144 5888
Memory 16GB GDDR6 8GB GDDR6X
Memory bandwidth 14Gbps 19Gbps
Base clock speed 735 MHz 1500 MHz
Boost clock speed 1560 MHz 1725 MHz
TDP 140W 220W

As you can see, the RTX A4000 has more CUDA cores, more memory, and a higher memory bandwidth than the RTX 3070. This gives the RTX A4000 a significant advantage in professional applications that require a lot of GPU power, such as 3D rendering, video editing, and AI/machine learning.

However, the RTX 3070 has a higher base clock speed and boost clock speed, which gives it a slight advantage in gaming. The RTX 3070 also has a higher TDP, which means it can be overclocked to a higher level than the RTX A4000.

Overall, the RTX A4000 is a better choice for professional applications, while the RTX 3070 is a better choice for gaming. If you are a creative professional or engineer who needs a powerful GPU for demanding tasks, then the RTX A4000 is the better option. If you are a gamer who wants the best possible performance, then the RTX 3070 is the better option.

Here are some additional things to consider when choosing between the RTX A4000 and RTX 3070:

  • Price: The RTX A4000 is typically more expensive than the RTX 3070.
  • Availability: The RTX A4000 is more difficult to find in stock than the RTX 3070.
  • Power requirements: The RTX A4000 requires a more powerful power supply than the RTX 3070.

I hope this helps!
