About NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4010
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4010 is listed as part of the GeForce 40-series, while its chip, GA107, is built on the Ampere architecture. The process node is Samsung 8 nm, with a die size of 200 mm² and 8,700 million transistors, giving a transistor density of 43.5M per mm². The GPU has a 1417 MHz base clock and a 1762 MHz boost clock. Memory is clocked at 1500 MHz, which is listed as 12 Gbps effective. Production status is Active, and the release date is 2024-04-15.
Memory Subsystem
The RTX 4010 comes with 4 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 64-bit bus. The listed memory bandwidth is 96.00 GB/s. That bandwidth figure is tied directly to the 1500 MHz memory clock and the 12 Gbps effective data rate. For high resolutions, the first problem is capacity: 4 GB can handle 1080p asset loads in many cases, but high-resolution texture sets are likely to exceed that buffer. The second problem is throughput: a 64-bit interface with 96.00 GB/s is a narrow path for moving textures and frame data. The card’s 16 ROPs generate a pixel rate of 28.19 GPixel/s, while its 24 TMUs generate a texture rate of 42.29 GTexel/s. Those figures describe the rendering output side, but the memory subsystem is what sets the practical ceiling for high-resolution work. GDDR6 memory and 12 Gbps signaling are modern, but they do not change the width of the bus. The data points to a card intended for light to moderate 1080p workloads rather than for 1440p or 4K rendering.
Power and Cooling
TDP is listed at 50 W, and the suggested PSU is 250 W. The power connectors field is None, so the card does not need auxiliary power cables. It is a single-slot card, with a length of 163 mm, or 6.4 inches, and a height of 69 mm, or 2.7 inches. The bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x8. With no power connectors required, installation is simple in systems that lack extra PCIe power leads. The low 50 W TDP places only a modest demand on the power supply. The Samsung 8 nm process is the manufacturing detail behind this power envelope. The card provides 4x mini-DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, which cover display connectivity without needing adapters for DisplayPort monitors. The combination of a 250 W PSU recommendation and no auxiliary connector makes this an easy card to slot into a prebuilt or compact desktop.
Benchmark Performance
The benchmarks array in the FACT PACK is empty, and the average benchmark score is 0. There are no nearest rivals and no deltaPct values, so the database record contains no measured performance comparisons. The percentileVsAllGpus field is 50, which places the card at the median of all GPUs tracked by the database. However, because the benchmarks array holds no entries, that percentile is not supported by a recorded game score. Raw compute metrics are the only performance indicators available. FP32 throughput is 2.706 TFLOPS, and FP16 throughput is also 2.706 TFLOPS, a 1:1 ratio. Pixel rate is 28.19 GPixel/s, and texture rate is 42.29 GTexel/s. The core configuration includes 768 shading units, 24 TMUs, 16 ROPs, 6 RT cores, and 24 tensor cores. Base and boost clocks are 1417 MHz and 1762 MHz. API support includes DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. These numbers define the hardware’s theoretical limits, but they do not replace actual benchmark results. Without game scores, exact percentage deltas against other cards cannot be reported.
How It Compares
The nearestRivals field contains no entries. With no rival names, no rival benchmark scores, and no deltaPct percentages, the FACT PACK does not permit a direct comparison to any specific competing GPU. The only relative number present is percentileVsAllGpus: 50. That puts the RTX 4010 at the midpoint of the overall GPU population in the database, but the empty benchmarks list keeps that placement from being validated by measured results. The card is in the GeForce 40-series, with the predecessor generation listed as GeForce 30 and the successor generation listed as GeForce 50. Those generation labels indicate product lineage, not performance relationships. The card’s specification sheet shows a moderate core configuration, but the absence of rival data means no card can be declared faster or slower based on this database record. Any direct comparison would require additional data not present in the FACT PACK.
Who Should Consider It
The RTX 4010 fits systems where power delivery is limited and extra PCIe cables are not available. The 50 W TDP and 250 W suggested PSU make it a practical addition to modest desktop builds. For gaming, the 4 GB GDDR6 frame buffer and 96.00 GB/s bandwidth point toward 1080p with reduced settings. The 768 shading units and 2.706 TFLOPS FP32 compute are modest numbers, so high-refresh-rate and high-detail targets are not well supported. The 6 RT cores and 24 tensor cores provide dedicated ray tracing and tensor hardware, but the small memory buffer may limit how much those features can do. The single-slot 163 mm profile and 69 mm height help with compact chassis fit. The 4x mini-DisplayPort 1.4a outputs support multi-monitor arrangements. Users who need high-resolution texture packs or high-resolution rendering should avoid a 4 GB, 64-bit card. Because the database contains no benchmark scores, these recommendations are based entirely on the printed specification fields.
