This will make for an excellent power efficient, slot-power card once it begins to devalue. Certainly one to look out for, like the A2000.

Yep, they've just increased the price of a 4060 16GB and slapped "ISV certification" as their justification.

Just use the Studio driver with a Geforce, it's the exact same experience in 99.9% of circumstances, and the one time you actually need an pro-series GPU, you are likely using $10,000/year software and shouldn't be using anything less than an RTX 4000 which is chump change compared to the software license.

I notice this announcement is in conjuction with Dassault (Solidworks) and HP, yet the Solidworks forums and subreddit all have hundreds of heavy Solidworks users all going "I've used both and can't tell the difference"

Personally I buy one or two pro-series cards per year just so that if anything ever comes up in mission-critical production software I can test to see if the issue occurs on the Quadro/A-series. So far I'm about 15 years into this strategy and never found a bug with Geforce that didn't also happen on the more expensive pro-tier GPUs.

Fewer cores and less memory bandwidth that the namesake GPU it replaces, I didn't expect that. Maybe the bandwidth as cache makes up for that but fewer cores is surprising.

You're paying for the drivers, support, certifications, and all that stuff which enterprise businesses do care and the cost of the GPUs is laughable to them so it doesn't matter.

I was comparing specs to the GPU this replaces, which is mentioned in the first paragraph. The RTX A2000 also made by Nvidia. For professional work.

So what's your point?

Incredible. How much does nVidia pay these guys to say that $h1t?

That's all just AI driven market BS that allows nVidia to make such a move right now.

 

[bonehead123]

but the better question is:

Can in run the "can it run crysis" app ? hehehe /s

 

[Lycanwolfen]

LOL bring DLSS to workstation graphics now.

 

[wolf]

Poor A2000 (Ampere) was a victim of it's own success, replaced by more expensive products because it did relatively well. Neither Ada 2000 nor 4000 SFF offer enough to even slightly tempt me, not that those eye watering prices. Engineering is impressive though.

 

[Selaya]

well tbh the only reason why the a2000's that interesting is the fact that it was a relatively popular mining card, launched at the very tail end of things.
means that there's a relatively good market of debased a2000s that havent really been abused (read: only abused for a few months until mining went the way of the dodo)

even at $450 the a2000's like, way overpriced for what it really is, but at $250 it's actually very interesting.
inotherwords i've had hoped for like, a second and a half that we'd see the ad2000 at $450 asw. but alas.

It's in these corporations' best interests to team up with IHV to market their own software. Solidworks is an established industry standard software.

Unfortunately when it's price starts to drop, it will maybe reach MSRP. Otherwise totally agreed.

It's a crying shame that Nvidia hard-lock their power limits so stringently.
Many GPUs have minimum power limits of 75% or 90% which means you can't underclock them very far.

If I pay for a 4060Ti I want to be able to run it at whatever power limit I choose, up to Nvidia's cap that exists partly to protect the card and partly to prevent lower models from cannibalising more expensive ones.

And it's amazing how random the lower power limits are. I've seen Nvidia card lower limits recently range from 65-75% (just 3 cards) and AMD ones from 50-94%.

94 freakin percent!! I want the option to run that card (6800 XT) at like 75%, what the hell is a measly -6%? Especially when my 5600 XT gives the option of 50%, which is overkill as you're generally start killing performance below 20-30% after a good undervolt.

For sure they do. They’re basically carrying the perfect advertising campaign. « 16GB vRAM is a game-changer ». Funny that he’d use this exact formulation…
