GeForce RTX 5060 Ti vs NVIDIA RTX A4500, AI & Machine Learning Comparison
NVIDIA RTX A4500 wins 6 of 11 benchmarks, averaging 19.1% faster.
Both cards were measured first-party on our bench, same suite, same test rig.
What the numbers say
The gap is widest in Stable Diffusion XL, where NVIDIA RTX A4500 leads by 25% (5.22 vs 6.5 images/min); the closest fight is Qwen3 4B (10% apart); VRAM decides part of this one: NVIDIA RTX A4500 runs 6 of our 12 AI workloads while the other card runs 6, models that don't fit score zero.
