RTX A2000 review possible?

Selaya · Nov 8, 2021

Hello,

I understand that reviewing a Quadro's not part of TPU's usual business, but given that the last <75W, low profile card's the anemic 1650 and given current market conditions we're unlikely to see a 3050 or 6500 w/ a <75W TDP/TGP/TwhateverP rating, the RTX A2000'd be the only viable upgrade path for that market.
Admittedly it's a rather niche one, that's why I'm making this thread to see whether it'd be possible at all to have such a review and/or how many others would be interested in such a review.

No plans, not sure if NVIDIA is interested in sampling it. I'd probably have to buy one

What makes this card interesting?

sepheronx · Nov 8, 2021

I have one on order. It is backorder so I am not sure when it comes in.

What makes this card interesting is its low profile, 6gb GDDR6 vram. I heard that it can be decent at gaming, how decent? Dont know. The A4000 was between RTX 2080 and 2070 super. So this may not be bad.

Selaya · Nov 8, 2021

Yeah, it's a <75W, low-profile (half-height full-length) card, so it can be used in a lot of SFF stuff where you may not be able to slot in a full-height card and/or for redneck upgrading OEM boxes that may not be able to supply you with 6-pins (well, I guess you can also redneck some up w/ SATA connectors, but some are also incapable of accepting full-heights so xd)

Looking at userbenchmark it seems to be slotting in above the 1650S so a quantum leap this is not, but compared to the ol' anemic 1650 that still sounds fairly exciting, and given the current wazoo pricing spending $400-600 on it doesn't seem all that bad of a deal suddently so xd

Came to me today by mail (Norway). I ordered online at the beginning of November, in our norway store as soon as it appeared over there. I gave it somewhere around 792 USD, so at the moment today it costs 170 USD more expensive.
6 GB version from PNY. I was honestly shocked by the size (dimensions like 1050ti/1650 LP)!
The performance is cosmic, despite the fact, that motherboard in my SFF-type desktop system supports only PCI-E 3.0 interface.

I'd also love to see one reviewed as it's essentially the current best low profile GPU for super tiny SFF builds

Ordered one .. for 720 euros t.t .. this better be good

Do you have consumer right to return anything bought online within two weeks? We do, just because of the fact you often cannot see it live and test, if it really fits or works.

The we have a win win situation. No money lost, pretty exotic review made for clicks.

Selaya · Feb 28, 2022

There's also a new 12GiB flavor of the A2000 available now, but given its performance tier/bracket (like a 3050, give or take) idt that'd be of any use/impact since VRAM capacity's not the bottleneck.
(If any, additional VRAM power draw may be a performance regression.)

I mean, you could always raffle it off to TPU members after you've done your testing

EDIT: To be fair tho, W1zz will probs keep it for awhile for future reference/retesting as he always does w/ hardware, so there's that

NVIDIA RTX A2000 Review - World’s Fastest ITX Card: Low-Profile and Slot-Powered

NVIDIA's RTX A2000 is the fastest graphics card that fits into a low-profile form factor. It's fast enough for 1080p Full HD Gaming at maximum details and achieves that with 75 W slot power only, which makes it even more energy-efficient than AMD's 6 and 7 nanometer RDNA2 graphics cards.
