Nvidia launches 16GB RTX 2000 ADA workstation graphics card

The RTX 2000 is the latest addition to the Nvidia RTX Ada workstation desktop graphics card line-up. This will be the new entry-level GPU in Nvidia's workstation range, packing 16GB of VRAM and a $625 price tag. 

Nvidia's seventh workstation desktop GPU, the RTX 2000 ADA, boasts a low-profile and compact form factor design, similar to the RTX 4000 SFF. Thanks to its design, it eliminates the need for additional power connections. This GPU is incredibly efficient, with a power limit of just 70W.

Compared to the RTX 4000's AD104 GPU with 6144 cores, the RTX 2000 ADA has 2816 CUDA cores. The RTX 2000 ADA replaces the RTX 2000 (Ampere), which has 12GB of video memory. Contrary to rumours, the RTX 2000 ADA has 16GB of GDDR6 memory instead of just 8GB. Unfortunately, the GPU's memory bus is limited to 128-bit, offering a maximum memory bandwidth of 224 GB/s.

Some performance metrics shared by Nvidia suggest the new RTX 2000 card offers up to 70% more performance than its predecessor in ray tracing workloads, up to 80% in AI throughput, and up to 50% more in FP32 throughput.

The RTX 2000 ADA goes for $625 before taxes. Arrow Electronics, Ingram Micro, Leadtek, PNY, Ryoyo Electro, and TD Synnex will be the first to have the new workstation desktop card available. Dell, HP, and Lenovo will start selling it in April.
