Our verdict

Entry-level

NVIDIA RTX A500 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 2021.

It is currently fitted in 4 laptops from €1907, at an average price of €2089.

Above €2070 there are clearly better options: for that money the NVIDIA RTX 500 Ada is 71% faster. That is the sensible ceiling.
