Hi Ilyas

The L4 GPUs should work fine with AMBER 22 but I haven't had a chance to explicitly benchmark them yet. They are very low power GPUs (just 72W each) so I would expect the performance to pretty poor. You'd probably be much better off with A4500, A5000 or A5500 cards which are available at a discount right now - likely cheaper than the L4. See:

https://www.exxactcorp.com/blog/Molecular-Dynamics/RTX3090-Benchmarks-for-HPC-AMBER22-A100-vs-RTX3080-vs-RTX3070-vs-RTX6000

for performance comparisons.

All the best
Ross
