In the area of ​​workstation graphics cards, in addition to the older generation up to the Nvidia Quadro P1000, the Tiny now also has a newer ( up to) Nvidia T600 of the Turing generation made available for selection. The SFF model, on the other hand, can be ordered with a more powerful Nvidia T1000 and a current Nvidia RTX 5000 (ampere) can optionally move in with the tower, which alone should cost around 2,000 euros.
