NVIDIA has quietly launched its new RTX 2000E workstation graphics card, which includes the “Ada” GPU in a smaller form factor.
The RTX 2000E ADA is a variation of the current RTX 2000 ADA model, rather than an upgrade or replacement. Although the two models have very similar specifications, they differ in a few important aspects.
The biggest difference is that the RTX 2000E ADA has a single-slot design, whereas the RTX 2000 ADA uses a dual-slot design. Both cards are low-profile and don’t need power connectors. However, the RTX 2000E ADA has a lower TDP of 50W, which is 20W less than the RTX 2000 ADA, likely due to the more limited cooling capabilities of its design.
The RTX 2000E ADA is equipped with the AD107 GPU, offering 2,816 CUDA cores and 16GB of GDDR6 ECC memory on a 128-bit bus. While the memory bandwidth isn’t the standout feature of this card, its substantial memory capacity is beneficial for users handling large language models (LLMs) and generative AI applications.
Featuring a single fan, the RTX 2000E ADA takes up just one motherboard slot, making it more convenient to install multiple cards in a cluster. Users should check that their motherboard can supply the required power via the PCIe 4.0 connector, as the card lacks an external power connector. The RTX 2000E ADA comes with four Mini-DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, each capable of supporting 4K resolution at 120Hz simultaneously. Although NVIDIA hasn’t officially listed this new SKU, it has already appeared on PNY’s website.
