Quadro RTX 4000: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 is the full-power record of Turing's upper-mid professional tier — 2304 cores with ray-tracing hardware, 8GB of GDDR6 and the strongest benchmark set of the three catalog entries carrying this silicon. This guide covers its 23 benchmarked games at 1080p (16 with medium-preset data) and the 59 catalog models matched to it.

Where the Quadro RTX 4000 sits in 2026

A catalog score of 67.3 ranks it 55th of 341 — the top sixth of the catalog. The neighbors are thoroughly modern: the RTX 2000 Ada Generation (68.2), GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop (68.1) and RTX A4000 Laptop (67.7) above; the RTX PRO 1000 Blackwell (66.9), Quadro RTX 5000 Max-Q (66.9) and RTX 2000 Ada Laptop (66.7) below. A 2018 professional card trading places with 2023-2025 parts is Turing's strong aging in one line.

What the chip brings

Turing architecture on 12nm: 2304 CUDA cores rated at 7.1 teraflops, 8GB of GDDR6, RT and tensor cores with CUDA and DLSS flagged — ray tracing and AI upscaling in a professional envelope. Public benchmarks: PassMark 14847 with GeekBench Vulkan 78950 and OpenCL 83744. The catalog carries this silicon under three names: this record, a Max-Q Design variant (its PassMark is statistically identical at 14843, but compute drops by a fifth — see that record's page), and a third Max-Q entry further down the band.

FPS in games at 1080p

The high-preset table is flagship-adjacent: F1 2020 at 171 fps (207 on medium), Dirt Rally 2.0 at 151 (181), F1 2018 at 142 (180), For Honor 141 (148), The Witcher 3 132, DOTA 2 Reborn 130, Rise of the Tomb Raider 128, Darksiders III 119 (144), Far Cry 5 100 (106) and Far Cry New Dawn 99 (102) — with the capped pair at its ceilings and PUBG at 140. The watchlist rows: Battlefield V 87 (101 on medium) and Shadow of the Tomb Raider 82 (105). Across 16 medium-preset pairs the headroom is coherent and generous — this is a card that holds high settings nearly everywhere at 1080p.

Laptops that carry it

The 59-model roster spans the modern workstation generations: ThinkPad P16 Gen 3 at $1760 and the ZBook Fury G1i 16/18 pair at $1760 (2025), Dell Pro Max 18/16 Plus at $1440, Dell Precision 5690 and ZBook Fury 16 G11 at $1408 (2024), and the 2023 tier — Precision 7780 at $2099, ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 at $2340, Precision 5680/7680 and ZBook Fury 16 G10 at $1126. As with every professional record, the pool matches the name family: listings carry various rungs of this GPU line, and the fleet medians (best-GPU 66.9, gaming index 86, USComp 75) describe the machines' configurations rather than this specific card.

Bottom line

The RTX 4000 record is the top of this silicon's band and one of the strongest Turing professional entries in the catalog: a 1080p-high-everywhere game table, DLSS headroom, 8GB of buffer, and host machines from $1126 to $2340 covering three workstation generations. Buyers comparing within the family should read this page against its Max-Q siblings — the full-power record is the one to seek where cooling allows, the Max-Q variants trade roughly a fifth of compute for thinner chassis. Either way, this tier of 2018-2023 professional hardware remains one of the used market's better performance-per-dollar stories.
