NVIDIA RTX 4500 Ada Generation vs Lisuan Tech LX PRO Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive performance gap between these two workstation GPUs, though direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons are limited by the available measurements. The NVIDIA RTX 4500 Ada Generation has two recorded benchmark scores: 160786 in Geekbench OpenCL and 171401 in Geekbench Vulkan, producing an average benchmark score of 166094. The Lisuan Tech LX PRO has no recorded benchmark scores, resulting in an average benchmark score of 0 and a percentile rank of 50 among all GPUs. By contrast, the RTX 4500 sits at the 97th percentile, placing it among the highest-performing graphics cards in the database.

The RTX 4500's nearest rivals provide context for its standing. It trails the AMD Radeon Pro W6900X by 1.5 percent (that card averages 168574), but leads the NVIDIA RTX A5500 by 0.5 percent (165217), the AMD Radeon PRO W7800 by 0.7 percent (164894), and the NVIDIA A100 PCIe 40 GB by 2.2 percent (162504). These deltas are narrow, indicating that the RTX 4500 sits in a tightly contested performance tier. The LX PRO, with no benchmark data, cannot be positioned against these rivals; the database records no comparable scores for it.

The theoretical specifications reinforce the RTX 4500's advantage. The RTX 4500 delivers 39.63 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, while the LX PRO delivers 24.58 TFLOPS, a 61 percent advantage for the NVIDIA card. In FP16, the RTX 4500 again delivers 39.63 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio, while the LX PRO reaches 49.15 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio, giving the LX PRO a 24 percent lead in this specific metric. Texture throughput favors the RTX 4500 at 619.2 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s, a 61 percent gap. Pixel throughput also favors the RTX 4500 at 206.4 GPixel/s versus 192.0 GPixel/s, a 7.5 percent margin.

The RTX 4500 uses 7680 shading units, 240 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units. The LX PRO uses 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 96 render output units. This means the RTX 4500 has 25 percent more shading units and 25 percent more TMUs, while the LX PRO has 20 percent more ROPs. Memory configurations are identical: both cards use 24 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus with 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth and 18 Gbps effective memory speed.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 4500 wins in raw compute throughput and texturing. Its FP32 performance of 39.63 TFLOPS is substantially higher than the LX PRO's 24.58 TFLOPS, which matters for workloads like simulation, rendering, and scientific computing that rely on single-precision floating-point math. The texture rate of 619.2 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s indicates the RTX 4500 can handle more complex texture-heavy scenes in real-time rendering. Its pixel rate of 206.4 GPixel/s versus 192.0 GPixel/s also gives it an edge in fill-rate-bound scenarios, though the margin is smaller.

The LX PRO wins in FP16 throughput. Its 49.15 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio exceeds the RTX 4500's 39.63 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio. This matters for workloads that use half-precision arithmetic, such as certain machine learning inference tasks or mixed-precision training, where the LX PRO's dedicated FP16 path can process more data per cycle. The LX PRO also has more render output units (96 versus 80), which can improve performance in pixel-heavy operations like high-resolution rasterization, though its lower shading count and texture rate limit overall throughput.

The RTX 4500 includes 60 ray tracing cores and 240 tensor cores. The LX PRO lists no ray tracing cores and no tensor cores, meaning those features are either absent or unrecorded. For ray-traced rendering or AI-accelerated workloads, the RTX 4500 has dedicated hardware that the LX PRO cannot match based on the recorded data. The RTX 4500 also supports Vulkan 1.4, while the LX PRO supports Vulkan 1.3, a minor API version difference.

Architecture Differences

The RTX 4500 uses the AD103 chip built on TSMC's 5 nm process, part of the Ada Lovelace architecture. It belongs to the Workstation Ada generation and is the predecessor to the Blackwell PRO W series. The chip contains 45,900 million transistors on a 379 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 121.1M per mm². The LX PRO uses the 7G105 chip built on TSMC's 6 nm process, part of the TrueGPU architecture and the 7G100 generation. The database records no transistor count or die size for the LX PRO.

The process node difference is notable: 5 nm versus 6 nm. The smaller node typically allows higher clock speeds and better power efficiency, though the recorded data does not include base or boost clock speeds for the LX PRO. The RTX 4500 has a base clock of 2070 MHz and a boost clock of 2580 MHz. The LX PRO's clocks are unrecorded, so direct clock comparisons are not possible from the data.

The RTX 4500 includes dedicated ray tracing and tensor cores, which the LX PRO lacks in the recorded specifications. This is a fundamental architectural difference: the RTX 4500 is designed for real-time ray tracing and AI acceleration, while the LX PRO appears to rely on general-purpose shader cores for all compute tasks. The FP16 ratio also differs: the RTX 4500 uses a 1:1 ratio, while the LX PRO uses a 2:1 ratio, indicating different design priorities for half-precision throughput.

Power consumption differs modestly. The RTX 4500 has a TDP of 210 W, while the LX PRO has a TDP of 225 W. Both cards recommend a 550 W power supply. The RTX 4500 requires no power connectors, implying it draws power entirely through the PCIe slot, while the LX PRO uses a 1x 16-pin connector. This suggests the RTX 4500 has a more power-efficient design, consistent with its smaller process node and lower TDP.

The Verdict

The data clearly favors the NVIDIA RTX 4500 Ada Generation for general workstation compute. Its FP32 throughput of 39.63 TFLOPS is 61 percent higher than the LX PRO's 24.58 TFLOPS, and its texture rate of 619.2 GTexel/s is 61 percent higher. The RTX 4500 also includes dedicated ray tracing and tensor cores, features that are absent from the LX PRO's recorded specifications. Its 97th percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 166094 place it in a competitive tier with the AMD Radeon Pro W6900X, which leads by 1.5 percent, and ahead of the NVIDIA RTX A5500, AMD Radeon PRO W7800, and NVIDIA A100 PCIe 40 GB.

The Lisuan Tech LX PRO's only recorded advantage is FP16 throughput, where its 49.15 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio exceeds the RTX 4500's 39.63 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio. It also has 20 percent more ROPs (96 versus 80) and a slightly higher TDP (225 W versus 210 W). However, with no benchmark scores recorded, no ray tracing or tensor cores listed, and a 50th percentile ranking, the LX PRO cannot be validated as a competitive workstation GPU based on the available data.

Users who need ray tracing, AI acceleration, or maximum single-precision compute should choose the NVIDIA RTX 4500 Ada Generation. Users who specifically require high FP16 throughput for half-precision workloads may consider the Lisuan Tech LX PRO, but they should note the absence of benchmark validation and dedicated AI hardware. The RTX 4500's established benchmark scores and architectural features make it the safer and more capable choice for most workstation applications.
