Connectivity and outputs

Types and number of video connectors present on the reviewed GPUs. As a rule, data in this section is precise only for desktop reference ones (so-called Founders Edition for NVIDIA chips). OEM manufacturers may change the number and type of output ports, while for notebook cards availability of certain video outputs ports depends on the laptop model rather than on the card itself.

Pros & cons summary


Recency 10 November 2021 21 March 2023
Maximum RAM amount 16 GB 24 GB
Chip lithography 8 nm 5 nm
Power consumption (TDP) 60 Watt 72 Watt

A2 has 20% lower power consumption.

L4, on the other hand, has an age advantage of 1 year, a 50% higher maximum VRAM amount, and a 60% more advanced lithography process.

We couldn't decide between A2 and L4. We've got no test results to judge.
