Folding Forum

Was looking at a Quadro RTX 4000 from PNY, which is a 125W TDP single slot card. Google seems to suggest the RTX 4000 can fold at about 1.8m ppd. Does that sound right to anyone here using one? Might be able to get a deal on one and was considering picking it up, but not sure yet. Thanks.

It's the same GPU configuration as a RTX 2070 ... unless you can get it at a reasonable price, there's no advantage to get a Quadro instead of a GeForce.

I expect the performance to be lower than the RTX 2070 though since the RTX 4000 is a single slot and might be limited by temperature/cooling ...

I'm running an RTX 2070 SUPER power limited to 150W, it produces ballpark 2.5-3 million PPD.

The other thing to consider is that the RTX 4000 looks to be a blower style fan which will be noisy. Fine if the PC will be tucked away in a corner somewhere out of the way, not so good if it's going to be in your living room or bedroom.

BTW, techpowerup lists the RTX 400 as a 160W card.

Yeah, an RTX2070S would definitely be better. Just wanted to make sure the 1.8m estimate wasn't overblown for the 4000. Hate to get it, even at a good deal, and find it only does 1m or less. Good point on the blower fan, especially on a single slot card.

BTW, the 160W rating includes 35W for the USB-C port. Without that, it's only 125W.
