Packaging

The Card

The RTX A2000 comes with an extremely clean design—the card is almost like a magic black box. The matte surface looks impeccable, if only it was a bit more resistant to fingerprints. What's breaking the look a bit is that no backplate is included—the cost increase should be negligible, especially in this price segment.


Compared to other cards, the RTX A2000 is tiny. We have the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti on the left and RTX 3090 on the right.


Dimensions of the card are 17.0 x 7.0 cm, and it weighs 304 g.


Installation requires two slots in your system.


Display connectivity options include four Mini-DisplayPort 1.4 ports. A Mini-DP to DP cable is included in the package.


The card has no external power inputs. All power is supplied via the PCI-Express slot, which is specified for up to 75 W.

Teardown

When disassembling the card, the first piece that will come off is the black cooler shroud with the fan.


Here you can see how the fan works—it's a radial blower design that sucks air in through the fan hub and blows it across the heatsink, out of the card.


Under the shroud, we'll find a simple heatsink without any fancy heatpipes.


This is really just a block of metal with fins. The base looks well-designed, though. It provides cooling for the GPU and memory chips.
