Our verdict

Entry-level

NVIDIA RTX 500 Ada is a entry-level professional graphics card: built to speed up video, design and 3D work, not to play games. It has 4 GB of memory and came out in 2023.

It is currently fitted in 16 laptops from €2114, at an average price of €3215.

Above €2317 there are clearly better options: for that money the NVIDIA RTX PRO 500 Blackwell is 16% faster. That is the sensible ceiling.
