NVIDIA's Tiny RTX 4000 Ada Lovelace Graphics Cards is now Available
NVIDIA has begun selling its compact RTX 4000 Ada Lovelace graphics card, offering GeForce RTX 3070-like performance at a mere 70 W power consumption, allowing it to fit in almost all desktop PCs. The low-profile, dual-slot board is priced higher than the RTX 4080 as it targets professional users, but it can still be used in a regular gaming computer. PNY's RTX 4000 Ada generation graphics card is the first to reach consumer shelves, currently available for $1,444 at ShopBLT, a retailer known for obtaining hardware before its competitors. The card comes with four Mini-DisplayPort connectors, so an additional mDP-DP or mDP-HDMI adapter must be factored into the cost.
The NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada generation board features an AD104 GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores, 20 GB of GDDR6 ECC memory, and a 160-bit interface. With a fixed boost frequency floating around 1560 MHz to reduce overall board power consumption, the GPU is rated for just 70 Watts of power. To emphasize the efficiency, this card requires no external PCIe power connector, as all the juice is fed through the PCIe slot. The GA104 graphics processor in this configuration delivers a peak FP32 performance of 19.2 TFLOPS, comparable to the GeForce RTX 3070. The 20 GB of memory makes the card more valuable for professionals and AI researchers needing compact solutions. Although the card's performance is overshadowed by the recently launched GeForce RTX 4070, the RTX 4000 SFF Ada's professional drivers, support for professional software ISVs, and additional features make it a strong contender in the semi-professional market. Availability and pricing are expected to improve in the coming weeks as the card becomes more widely accessible.

I've got cards that only takes up 1 slot, not two like these do but at the same time I guess they are rather small for what's being sold these days.
I am all ready covered with rtx a2000 and a rtx 4090. So I'll pass on this one.
However a card with 8-10 gb vram and a lot cheaper. I could be interested. For now it's prised to high.
More CUDAs than a 4070, nearly twice the vram and performance like a 3070....
What the hell...
....and all that so they keep it below 70W....
It´s no different with my RTX A2000. Boost stock is 1200 MHz but can go to 1350 MHz. With overclock it boost to between 1350 and 1600 MHz depending on game and load on gpu.
I really need to get off my K1200
Why is the price sooo high. :(
It would be an awesome SFF Card...
Rtx a2000 performance like a rtx 3050 at times close to rtx 3060, so it is really not that much slower than rtx 4000.
Rtx a2000 msrp was around 450 usd for the 6 gb vram variant while this is more like over 1200 usd. Rtx a2000 gave better performance for it price than a4000. Of cause the 20 GB vram is one of tre reasons why it cost 3 times more, but still, it one expensive rtx 3070 with 20vgb vram.
(or a 4060TI...)
Anyway...the 70W is impressive though for a 2080Ti/3070 level of performance.
The 4060TI has an estimated 288GB/s on a 128 bit bus so that makes believe the bus is not halved on this 20gb card and the main difference is just the speed of the chips (since they're going for low power).
