News Enthusiast Builds Fanless RTX A2000 Graphics Card

[Admin]

An enthusiast builds probably the industry's only passively cooled Ampere graphics card, but there is a catch.

Thanks for the article, one note, the RTX 4000 ( https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-tiny-rtx-4000-sff-launched ) has 20GB memory; an important distinction since running local language models currently requires a card with roughly 24GB memory (you got my hopes up for a minute there)

Thanks for the article, one note, the RTX 4000 ( https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-tiny-rtx-4000-sff-launched ) has 20GB memory; an important distinction since running local language models currently requires a card with roughly 24GB memory (you got my hopes up for a minute there)

In addition to the memory error on the RTX A4000 noted by Firestone, I believe there is a typo in the RTX A2000 performance comparison, which should be compared to the RTX 2060, not the RTX 3060, "It should be noted that Nvidia's RTX A2000 board offers performance akin to that of the GeForce RTX 3060." A 70W TDP 3060 for $356 would be interesting to a wide range of gamers, unfortunately the RTX A2000 is not that card.

In any case, I think it is time Tom's included the A2000 and A4000 in the GPU lists. Aside from their TDP, they have some unique properties that make them worth consideration on their own, not just as comparisons to gamer cards. Possibly do not include every memory variant of the cards, but the most interesting ones.

to make things even more confusing, the old Ampere model was labeled "RTX A4000", but the new Ada Lovelace model is labeled "RTX 4000 Ada", I believe. Its annoying and pedantic but an important distinction for anyone Google'ing for information 🤦‍♂️

really appreciate getting coverage of these GPU's though! I am not interested in gaming as much as home server and prospective home AI / ML usages
