RTX 4000 Ada Laptop GPU: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The RTX 4000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU is the upper-middle step of NVIDIA's 2023 workstation ladder — 12GB of memory, 130W, and 59 catalog models from three years of Precision, ZBook and ThinkPad machines. This guide covers its 13 recorded game benchmarks at 1080p, seven with a medium column.

Where the RTX 4000 Ada sits in 2026

The composite ranks it #15 of 341 (score 77.2). The neighbors: RTX PRO 3000 Blackwell (#12, 80), RTX 3500 Ada (#13, 78.8) and the desktop RTX 3070 (#14, 78.5) above; Radeon RX 7800M (#16, 77), RTX 5070 Laptop (#17, 76.1) and RTX 4060 (#18, 75.9) below. One honest quirk of this ranking: the 3500 Ada — fewer shaders on record, a lower power envelope — sits two places above this part. The composite weighs recorded benchmarks, not spec sheets; treat the two as a coin-flip band.

What the chip brings

The record lists 6144 CUDA cores, 12GB of GDDR6, 26.73 TFLOPS, a 130W envelope and a 4nm process, with CUDA, DLSS and Resizable BAR support. Public benchmarks: PassMark 23653, Vulkan 113388, OpenCL 146372 — solidly the strongest numbers of the three Ada records on this ladder's pages.

FPS in games at 1080p

At the high preset: Tiny Tina's Wonderlands 323, CS:GO and Overwatch at their 240 ceilings, F1 22 238, Dota 2 Reborn 185, GTA V 179, Final Fantasy XV 150, Baldur's Gate 3 142, PUBG at its 140 ceiling, Far Cry 5 138, X-Plane 11 113, Cyberpunk 2077 108. The medium column buys real headroom — Wonderlands 323 to 372, F1 22 238 to 264, X-Plane 113 to 144 — though at these high-preset numbers it is a luxury, not a necessity.

Laptops that carry it

59 models match, from the 2023 foundation layer (Precision 7780 at $2099, ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 at $2340, Precision 5680/7680, ZBook Fury 16 G10 at $1126) through 2024 (Precision 5690, ZBook Fury 16 G11) into 2025 (ZBook Fury G1i 16/18, Dell Pro Max 16/18 Plus). A long-lived, well-supported professional fleet.

Bottom line

The RTX 4000 Ada is the no-drama upper-middle of the workstation stack: every title on its table clears 1080p high with room to spare, and the 59-machine fleet gives buyers real choice across three model years. Whether it ranks two places above or below its 3500 Ada sibling matters far less than either chip's medium-preset comfort.
