Nvidia is expanding its portfolio of workstation graphics cards for SIGGRAPH 2021 with the RTX A2000, after the A4000, A5000 and A6000 were previously offered for the desktop. The RTX A2000 is the smallest graphics card to date, and thanks to its low-profile design, it will be used in particularly compact systems.
In October, Nvidia wants to talk to providers such as Asus, Boxx Technologies, Dell, HP and Lenovo as well as global distributors bring the smallest workstation graphics card RTX A2000 to the market to date. The smallest model comes in a low-profile dual-slot design for the first time, while the A4000 uses a full-profile single-slot design and the A5000 and A6000 a full-profile dual-slot design. The price of the new model is not yet available.

Nvidia RTX A2000 GA106 with fewer CUDA cores
According to the data sheet, the RTX A2000 has 13.25 billion transistors from the 8-nm production by Samsung, which has been adapted for Nvidia, which means that the GPU can be identified at first glance as the GA106, which is also used on the GeForce RTX 3060 (test) for consumers Use comes. The other key data do not quite match, however, because, for example, the GeForce RTX 3060 has 3,584 CUDA cores, while the RTX A2000 only has 3,328. Nvidia also mentions only 104 tensor cores and 26 RT cores for the workstation model, which in turn suggests 26 active streaming multiprocessors in still three graphics processing clusters.
Image output via four Mini DisplayPort 1.4
Nvidia specifies the single-precision, RT-Core and Tensor performance with slightly reduced 8 TFLOPS, 15.6 TFLOPS and 63.9 TFLOPS with the help of the sparsity acceleration. The target group of the RTX A2000 are professional users for renderings, physics simulations or AI-accelerated applications – artists, architects and engineers are named among others.
The 6 GB GDDR6 -Memory supports ECC, clocks at 6,001 MHz and is connected via a 192-bit wide interface for a memory bandwidth of 288 GB/s. Speaking of interface: the card uses PCIe 4.0 x16 and can be installed in appropriate housings in addition to the low-profile bracket via a normal ATX bracket. The weight of the actively cooled card increases from 294 g to 306 g. Nvidia provides four Mini DisplayPort 1.4 interfaces. Nvidia puts the maximum energy consumption at 70 watts.
