NVIDIA has silently introduced its latest RTX Workstation graphics card, the RTX 2000E, which features the "Ada" GPU in a compact design.
NVIDIA's Super-Compact RTX 2000E "Ada" Graphics Card Gets Error Correcting Code Memory For High Accuracy
We just stumbled upon a brand new version of the already existing NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada graphics card for professional workloads. The card is NVIDIA RTX 2000E "Ada" where the 'E' denotes the ECC memory. NVIDIA's RTX 2000 Ada is a professional graphics card in the workstation series launched in January this year and targets the budget segment. The NVIDIA RTX 2000E Ada Generation takes the existing version to newer heights for precision in professional applications.
The product page is already live where you can check out its specifications and features. NVIDIA's RTX 2000E Ada is a low-profile and single-slot GPU based on the Ada Lovelace architecture. The RTX 2000E Ada has a slightly smaller shroud than the RTX 2000 Ada Generation but is equivalent in length and carries the same blower-style heatsink. However, the single-slot form factor makes the RTX 2000E Ada more compact and easily adjustable in smaller chassis.
Unlike gaming graphics cards, the RTX 2000E will be tackling data errors for high accuracy and precision. While the regular version is already decent for professional apps, the RTX 2000E will be able to detect and fix single-bit errors in real-time, leading to better and more accurate results.
ECC memory is particularly helpful in processing data where accuracy can't be compromised. With the NVIDIA RTX 2000E Ada Generation, users will be able to work on scientific computing, AI training, content creation, and similar apps where data integrity is crucial. RTX 2000E Ada Generation carries over most of the specs and features of the RTX 2000 Ada, including third-generation 22 RT cores, fourth-generation 88 Tensor cores, and 2816 Cuda Cores.
The NVIDIA RTX 2000E Ada GPU brings 16 GB GDDR6 memory with ECC support on a 128-bit memory bus, resulting in around 224GB/s of memory bandwidth. It's highly power-efficient with just 50W of max TDP, which is 20W lower than the non-ECC edition. It comes with 4x mini-DisplayPort 1.4a ports for display output and needs no external power connector.
The RTX 2000E will be technically equivalent to the original but compute performance should be a tad bit lower since it runs at a 50W TDP (versus 70W) and also has lower clocks. The GPU packs the same 2816 cores, offering up to 8.9 TFLOPS (vs 12 TFLOPs) of Single Precision Performance, 20.5 TFLOPS of RT Core Performance, and 71 AI TOPS/71 TFLOPS of Tensor AI Performance. The GPU also supports DLSS 3.0 out of the box and AV1 encoder for streamers, content creators, and broadcasters.
Currently, only PNY has listed the card while the NVIDIA RTX 2000E Ada graphics card is listed for $820 US at SHI with a reported MSRP of $849 US which makes it more expensive than the normal RTX 2000.
