With the RTX 2000 Ada generation, Nvidia is introducing a cheap but fast GPU for workstations. Unique naming conventions are broken again.
Nvidia is launching a new RTX 2000: the RTX 2000 Ada Generation. This GPU has nothing to do with the GeForce RTX 2000 family that the company launched in 2018, but is the successor to the RTX A2000. Since Nvidia dropped the Quadro brand name, Nvidia’s naming of its GPUs has become a thick soup that defies any logic. Remember here that the Nvidia RTX A2000 (where the A stands for Ampere) is being replaced by the RTX 2000 Ada generation (since the A at the front has already been taken over by Ampere).
As the name suggests, the thing is built with the Ada Lovelace architecture and rolls out of the 4nm band at TSMC. 88 Tensor cores and 22 RT cores support 2,816 Cuda cores and 16GB of GDDR6 ECC memory. This storage has a bandwidth of 224 GB/s. The whole thing consumes a maximum of 70 watts of power, which is quite modest.
The specs call for 12 Tflops (single precision) compute performance, 27.7 Tflops on the RT cores if you want to do ray tracing, and 191.9 Tflops on the Tensor cores for relevant workloads. Nvidia claims that it is up to 50 percent more powerful than its predecessor. The RTX A2000 also had to make do with 12 GB of graphics memory.
The Nvidia RTX 2000 Ada generation is intended for workstations. Nvidia is aimed at professionals who build 3D models and environments, at CAD designers and of course at AI developers, because since 2023 everything and everyone has to be AI. The 16 GB memory is intended to enable realistic graphic models with ray tracing and, according to Nvidia, is also suitable for workflows in VR.
The Nvidia RTX 2000 Ada Generation is now available from various retailers. From April, major PC manufacturers such as HP, Lenovo and Dell will join. The card is also not yet available in the Nvidia store itself. Expect a suggested retail price of around $650.
