Nvidia has announced a new workstation-grade graphics card to replace the previous-generation RTX A2000 12GB. The company promises up to 50% performance uplift in a low-power GPU made for compact workstations for creative professionals, AI acceleration, edge applications, and more.
The RTX 2000 delivers breakthroughs in speed, efficiency, and power for everyday workflows, enabling creators, designers, and engineers to achieve new levels of productivity and innovation from the desktop.
As you can tell by the graphics card"s name, the RTX 2000 Ada Generation is powered by the same architecture as the latest consumer-grade GPUs in the RTX 4000 Series. It features third-generation RT cores, fourth-generation Tensor cores, and 16GB of GDDR6 video memory. Interestingly, the card does not feature the latest DisplayPort versions. Instead, there are four mini DisplayPort connectors for display output (four 2160p at 120Hz, four 2880p at 60Hz, or two 4320p at 60Hz).
According to information published by Nvidia, the RTX 2000 Ada Generation outperforms its predecessor by 30% in graphics, 50% in rendering, and 50% in generative AI tasks.
