Nvidia's entry-level GPU can handle 66 million pixels, enough to power two 8K monitors, but it's its tiny 70W power consumption that will blow you away.

Nvidia's entry-level GPU can handle 66 million pixels, enough to power two 8K monitors, but it's its tiny 70W power consumption that will blow you away.

Nvidia has introduced the RTX 2000 ADA generation, a powerful yet power-efficient addition to its line of workstation GPUs. As you can guess from the name, it's built around Nvidia's cutting-edge Ada Lovelace architecture, meaning users benefit from 3rd-generation RT cores, 4th-generation Tensor cores, CUDA cores, and AV1 encoders. .

The seventh SKU in Nvidia's workstation GPU series focuses on the AD107 GPU and reportedly delivers up to 1.5x the performance of its predecessor, the RTX A2000, in professional workflows. It is particularly suitable for fields such as 3D modeling, rendering, data visualization and video streaming.

Nvidia says the RTX 2000 ADA also has potential in embedded applications and edge computing, where it can drive real-time data processing for medical devices, optimize manufacturing processes, and enable AI-driven intelligence in retail environments.

70 watts

The RTX 2000 ADA Generation's small, low-profile form factor means it doesn't need external power connections and only requires a maximum of 70 watts of power to operate. It comes with 16GB of GDDR6 graphics memory, which is more than rumored when we first heard about it, and 4GB more than the RTX A2000.

The new GPU is equipped with four Mini DisplayPort 1.4a ports, allowing it to support four 4K displays at 120 Hz or two 8K displays at 60 Hz. However, if your requirements include support for DisplayPort 2.0/2.1, this GPU is not for you.

Highlights of the new card include:

Third generation RT cores: Up to 1.7x faster ray tracing performance for high-fidelity photorealistic rendering.
Fourth generation tensor cores: Up to 1.8x higher AI performance than the previous generation, with structured sparsity and FP8 precision to enable higher inference performance for AI-accelerated tools and applications.
CUDA cores: Up to 1.5x the performance of the previous generation FP32 for significant performance improvements in graphics and compute workloads.
Energy efficiency: Up to twice the performance in professional graphics, rendering, AI and compute workloads, all with the same 70W of power as the previous generation.
Immersive Workflows: Up to 3x higher performance for VR workflows than the previous generation.
16 GB GPU memory: An expanded canvas allows users to tackle larger projects, along with support for error-correcting code memory to deliver greater computing accuracy and reliability for mission-critical applications.
DLS 3: It offers a breakthrough in AI-powered graphics, significantly increasing performance by generating additional high-quality frames.
AV1 encoder: The 8th generation NVIDIA encoder, also known as NVENC, with AV1 support is 40% more efficient than H.264, enabling new possibilities for broadcasters, streamers and video calls.
