NVIDIA has unveiled the RTX 2000 ADA workstation GPU, priced at $625, boasting 16GB VRAM. The latest addition to NVIDIA's workstation GPU lineup, the RTX 2000 ADA, is the seventh SKU in this series. Similar to its predecessor, the RTX 4000 SFF, it adopts a low-profile design and eliminates the need for external power connectors, operating within a power limit of 70 watts. Diverging from the RTX 4000's AD104 GPU with 6144 cores, the RTX 2000 ADA features a configuration of 2816 CUDA cores, powered by the AD107 GPU variant. Notably, it is equipped with 16GB of GDDR6 ECC memory, doubling the initially speculated capacity. Despite this enhancement, the GPU maintains a 128-bit memory bus limitation and is limited to a PCI Express 4.0 interface restricted to 8 lanes.

The RTX 2000 ADA incorporates the latest technologies in the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace GPU architecture, including third-generation RT Cores, fourth-generation Tensor Cores, and enhanced CUDA cores, delivering significant performance improvements across graphics, rendering, and AI-accelerated tasks, all within a 70W power envelope.

Key Features:

• Third-generation RT Cores: Up to 1.7x faster ray-tracing performance.
• Fourth-generation Tensor Cores: Up to 1.8x AI throughput.
• CUDA cores: Up to 1.5x FP32 throughput for improved graphics and compute workloads.
• Power efficiency: Up to 2x performance boost across various workloads.
• Immersive workflows: Up to 3x performance for virtual-reality workflows.
• 16GB of GPU memory: Enhanced computing accuracy and reliability for mission-critical applications.
• DLSS 3: AI-powered graphics enhancement for improved performance.
• AV1 encoder: Eighth-generation NVIDIA Encoder for efficient video encoding.

The RTX 2000 ADA is equipped with four Mini-DisplayPort 1.4a outputs. Interested buyers should note that this GPU is suitable for those who require a low-power solution with DisplayPort 2.0/2.1 support.

Availability: The card, priced at $625, will be available through major partners such as Arrow Electronics, Ingram Micro, Leadtek, PNY, Ryoyo Electro, and TD SYNNEX. Dell, HP, and Lenovo will also offer it starting from April.
