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.

Passmark

This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.

Pros & cons summary

Performance score	31.77	29.86
Recency	1 December 2020	21 March 2023
Maximum RAM amount	8 GB	24 GB
Chip lithography	7 nm	5 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	225 Watt	72 Watt

Pro V520 has a 6.4% higher aggregate performance score.

L4, on the other hand, has an age advantage of 2 years, a 200% higher maximum VRAM amount, a 40% more advanced lithography process, and 212.5% lower power consumption.

Given the minimal performance differences, no clear winner can be declared between Radeon Pro V520 and L4.
