Nvidia s new RTX 2000 Ada workstation graphics card, low power consumption, high performance, and af

According to a report by foreign IT**, they found a low-resolution render called RTX 2000 Ada in the list of retailers before the launch. According to ***, this entry-level ADA workstation graphics card will come with 8GB of VRAM and is expected to be released in the next week. This new RTX 2000 workstation graphics card appears to be another AD104-based graphics card, equipped with 8GB (possibly ECC) of GDDR6 VRAM and PCIe Gen 4 x16 support. According to reports, it doesn't appear to have an external power connector, so we don't expect its TDP to exceed 75 watts (the usual maximum power for PCIe slots).

The IT** report lists two model names, the NVIDIA RTX 2000 ADA and the NVIDIA RTX2000E ADA, which are expected to be $600-650 and $500-630, respectively. The meaning of the suffix "e" is uncertain, but the "e" may refer to "enterprise". However, the cheaper of the two models may only be available when purchased in bulk. The report also mentions that the AD104 is the GPU used by the consumer-grade GeForce RTX 4070 and RTX 4080, so in theory, this workstation graphics card should be very powerful in its (and possibly SFF) form factor and low power. Reducing power consumption to this extent will have some impact on performance, but the AD104 provides a solid foundation. In addition, all of NVIDIA's workstation (formerly known as Quadro) graphics cards are equipped with blow-out heatsinks, making them more popular in server and other workstation scenarios.

As of now, the entry-level "2000" model has not appeared in NVIDIA's list of ADA-based RTX workstation graphics cards. The specifications of the ADA generation RTX 2000 graphics cards are said to be in line with the long-term updates to NVIDIA's entry-level workstation graphics card lineup. Hopefully, by completing the ADA Lovelace workstation graphics lineup, NVIDIA will also consider a new brand positioning for the next generation of workstation graphics cards. The naming scheme of NVIDIA workstation graphics cards has become more and more far-fetched with each generation, especially the mainstream RTX graphics cards that use almost the same naming scheme, just focusing on the fixed RTX XX-Y0 range rather than the RTX X-000 for each model.

It's important to note that NVIDIA's Ada Lovelace product line seems to be complete. All of this information is based on the reports of foreign IT**.
