NVIDIA and PNY Technologies revealed their RTX 5000 Ada Generation professional model back in August, alongside a few other additions to the existing "Ada Lovelace architecture family of high-performance workstation graphics cards." VideoCardz noted that units started to hit the retail market last week—the Chinese Gigabyte flagship server store (a certified OEM) on JD.com is selling them for 35,999 RMB a pop (~$5015), including taxes/extra charges. Official MSRP for the RTX 5000 Ada is $4000, so some form of upcharge has been added, but it is nowhere near as expensive as the flagship RTX 6000 Ada card. Both models share NVIDIA's upper echelon AD102 GPU, but the RTX 5000 Ada's configuration is cutback in order to reduce its price (roughly half of the flagship's cost).
Tom's Hardware has observed that Western retail outlets have similarly tacked on cheeky extra charges: "The RTX 5000 Ada graphics card is now available from PC Connection, Ebay, ProVantage, ShopBLT, and ThinkMate, among other workstation-oriented retailers. Meanwhile, none of them currently sell this add-in-board at its MSRP of $4,000, with prices hovering 10-20 percent above this figure. ProVantage even goes so far as to suggest the list price for the card is $6,999 and that you're saving 37%. Nice try." NVIDIA and PNY have not implemented a major cooling solution redesign for this year's upper-mid model—the RTX 5000 Ada largely shares its predecessor's aesthetic and single blower fan system (RTX A5000), although it has been "upgraded" with a 12VHPWR PCIe connector.
