NVIDIA RTX A2000

Released Oct 1, 2021$450 launch priceGraphics Card

The NVIDIA RTX A2000 is a low-profile, dual-slot Ampere workstation graphics card with 3,328 CUDA cores and 6 GB of ECC GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus. It draws 70 W from the PCIe slot alone, and a 12 GB version was added later.

Pros

  • 70 W board power with no auxiliary power connector
  • Low-profile dual-slot design suits small-form-factor workstations
  • ECC GDDR6 memory with 288 GB/s bandwidth
  • Four mini DisplayPort 1.4a outputs

Cons

  • 6 GB of VRAM is limiting for large models and scenes
  • Far lower throughput than higher-end Ampere workstation cards
  • Active cooling in a small card can be audible under load
