NVIDIA RTX 1000 Ada
Opinion and specs

NVIDIA RTX 1000 Ada is a mid-range professional graphics card: built to speed up video, design and 3D work, not to play games. It sits at 40 of 131 in the ranking, with 48.1% of the power of the best graphics card in the catalogue.

Yes, at 1080p on good settings, and at 1440p tweaking a detail or two in the heaviest games. But gaming is not its main job: that power is there for video, design and 3D work.

At 1080p, yes. At 1440p or with high textures, 6 GB starts to fall short in the most recent games.

No. Beyond being a different chip, in laptops each maker decides how much power it is allowed to draw: on this model, between 35 and 140 W. That is why two laptops with the same card can perform quite differently.

NVIDIA RTX 1000 Ada came out in 2023.

It is currently fitted in a single laptop, which costs €4342.

There is a faster and cheaper option: the Apple M5 Max 32-Core GPU is 78% faster and its entry price is €343 lower.
