A2000 Video: • RTX A2000 Review - TH...
The A2000 is a professional graphics card that supports DLSS and Ray Tracing. It's pretty hard to find and costs a lot more than it should right now, so just how capable is this small form factor workstation card when it comes to gaming?
Furthermore, how does it compare to the recently released RTX 3050?
0:00 What is the RTX A2000?
2:30 Gaming Tests and Methodology
2:40 Cyberpunk 2077 - 1080p, 1440p and DLSS
3:45 Far Cry 6 - 1080p and 1440p and Pricing
4:47 God of War - 1080p, 1440p and DLSS
5:41 GTA 5 - 1080p and 1440p
6:30 Battlefield 2042 - 1080p, 1440p and DLSS (Results at 7 minutes should say 1440p)
7:30 Fortnite - DLSS and Ray Tracing + Conclusion
Thanks for watching :) - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
The Battlefield 2042 results at 7:00 onwards were 1440p results (for both native and DLSS). I accidentally wrote 1080p in the video. Sorry about that. The frame rate figures are correct :)
nah fam its ok, you are doing god's work
keep it up
Absolutely great video, but how dare you edit out the last hit on the god of war boss. I was waiting for it then BAM, GTA V. lmaooo
yeah this ain't an option mate: newegg usa NVIDIA RTX A2000 6GB 192-bit GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 x16 Low Profile Workstation Video Card $1,069.99 - $1,399.60
it's a great card with out a doubt
NVIDIA Model: Quadro A2000
Architecture: Ampere
CUDA Cores: 3328
Memory Configuration: 6 GB
Memory Interface: GDDR6
Bus Interface: PCIe 4.0 x16
Display Connectors: 4x mini-DisplayPort
Max Displays: 4x at 5K | 5120 x 2880 at 60 Hz
It's like a rtx 3040 mini edition
Please where did you get that testbench "open case". How is it called and where can I buy it pls
I let out an audible, "Oh my goodness, that's adorable!", that being said I think it's actually a very sleak looking card--it looks stellar surrounded by a lot of black components.
Yeah it looks great, shame about the price at the moment but hopefully it’ll come down over time
@@RandomGaminginHD "shame about the price", if that hasn't been the last few years in a nutshell... 😔
It looks like one of those concretes from the game Control.
@@danimayb normal my ass. If people weren't so accepting of these prices it would have gone down already.
@@RandomGaminginHD It's a professional grade graphics card. They've always been more expensive even in a normal market.
The small blower cooler is so cute and looks awesome! It's also the most powerful sff card now, which is quite nice.
That's the main reason I can see to go for this over RTX 3050/ RX 6600 (assuming you're somewhere where you get the luxury of choice) It's size and lack of external power would make it great for extremely small ITX cases
Does it have an SFF bracket though?
@@meowritz just use some string or a wire, I have used that before on SFF without the SFF bracket.
@@meowritz yes mine came with it (PNY, OEM packaging)
I love the minimalist look of blower cards, its nice to know that brands like Asus offer blower style coolers on their RTX 3070, RTX 3070-ti, and the RTX 3080 cards.
70 watts, low profile, 4 mini dps, good performance... This GPU is almost perfect
If it was single slot Id probably go ballistic trying to find one
@Donald Nemesis Gaming I saw this card, looked it up, saw the $1200 price tag and noped. The price is... a lil much
Price tho
@@BigBratMatt To be fair, this card is part of the professional use "Quadro" line of GPUs.
This was more for professional workstations(3D processing, CAD programs, AI algorithms, etc.). The fact that it can play games is a bonus.
its like 700 usd rn and msrp is 450
This has been my "unreasonable dream" card, since announced. For a low profile successor of the 1650. But damn the expensiveness of it... still so nice to see you covering it! Unexpected and pleasant surprise!
This! It seems to retail anywhere from £500-£600 from the time of this comment but you can buy a second-hand RTX 2080 in my area for something like £650.
Probably worth buying if you want to make a small/portable gaming rig if you are travelling but besides that there are many better options!
They're under 300$ used rn. I got one for like 260. Decent time to buy one.
Savings are on electricity here while having nice performance...
a year later and now the "4000 sff ada" exists, theres no substitute for small but im not sure who'd pay 1.2 grand for it though.
@@quantum5661 that's the point - performance is valued more than efficiency
Man the A2000 is a testament at how Nvidia made a crappy job with the 3050. Seriously it's almost the same performance but it consume half the power and doesn't need external power to run. This will be an amazing option IN THE FUTURE, when most of the people will forget about this little card and look for the mainstream one in the used market.
This is Nvidia showing which customers it values,gamers get scraps and corporations get top bin.
The a2000 has more cuda cores to keep up with the 3050 at a lower power draw.
The die of the A2000 is a heavily binned, also it's a 3060.
@@naamadossantossilva4736 The Corporate company's pay a lot more for their cards they use. So it's not surprising from a business side of things, where the money is coming from. home computers users are always the second best. It's just how business works.
A trend i've noticed in the market, is that when i do find one of those cards like the T600. prices didnt go up til a few tech tubers did a video on em. basically saying. they're only at the price mentioned before the video is put up. seems when the GPU gets attention, prices go up.
Yeeeees, I was waiting for this one! Fav tech youtuber!!!
Nice of you to join the A2000 fan club :) Ours came with half height bracket as well and it's a great option for small builds.
BTW you can run it with the regular game ready drivers.
Ah here it is! The card I asked you to review! OEMs like Lenovo are selling this card if you buy directly from their website store.
really impressive how much performance that tiny thing has and for a lot less power too
I really like the look of these workstation grade GPUs. Just like the Radeon WX2100, this has a clean and minimal look to it that I just love.
same. just wish said workstation gpus didn't cost a fuckton of money. i'm so tired of everything i buy looking "gamer" especially as i don't even game anymore.
I had a WX4100 and really love the metallic blue look of the card. Better than the Nvidia Quadro plastic tbh
whats funny is the wx2100 is actually based off the rzx 550 BUT IT COSTS LIKE HALF THE PRICE AND LOOKS BETTER! i honestly dont understant
this card has potential and is amazing to see just how much performance you can get from a card with no external power, better than most older gen cards.
Just wanted to say thank you for the work putting these videos together :)
I just bought an rtx a2000 12gb for $875 for my office/lan pc. Considering the case only supports low profile graphics cards, and given that this card crushes a 1650 for games and work it was a no brainer for me
Yesss. I've wanted to see this for a long time. Props to you for buying such a GPU.
You keep finding them cards. Keep up the work. Awesome.👍
So glad you picked this up. It's a great little card!
Glad I came back to this video. I was wondering why my card wasn't working and I'm glad its because the drivers need to be installed. Picked this card up for $258 in the U.S, about the price of a used RTX 3050. Though prices can vary in the extremes by the looks of it.
I love the simple black shroud and that cooling fan looks really cool (to me) for some reason.
I have been waiting for this video for a while
That's a very interesting comparison : more cores but less TGP, less VRAM but more bandwidth. Lets you see which game favours which spec.
This fills me with nostalgia for back when I bought a small form factor 1050ti for my small hp pc, 5 years ago :)
I’ve finally found a card to stick in my tv pc! Thank god, been waiting for one without a power connecter
I actually really want one of these cards. They've been popping up heavily discounted lately. Would be awesome for a super small ITX build
Wow, thanks! I was waiting for a review of this one, Nvidia needs to make more
It's cute until you hear it and see the price. Maybe it's an option in the future because it's very power efficient. But it's probably pointless to OC it since there's no external power connection. Undervolting might be more interesting in this case, reducing its power consumption even more.
strangely where i live its cheaper then the RTX 3050, RTX 3050 goes for €550 here.
@@MR_FIAT wow< that's a lot of cash, i wouldn't recommend to pay that amount for 3050
You are wrong I have seen it can oc for 20%
you can if you're really dedicated add external power and shunt mod it to make it a total beast
A GT1030 replacement? With a cute little mini-blower cooling solution? Brilliant!
Yeah, only about 10-12x more expensive than the GT1030 lol
@@nikkigrace5288 yeah just got to that part, holy cow... the market really is insane.
@@boingkster don't worry, it's not really 10x more expensive.
Just ~4 times since a new 1030 GDDR5 is 130 bucks.
@@oOZellzimaOo it all depends on crypto market which as you know is extremely volatile so who knows 🤔
i wouldnt be suprised at some point maybe we see a rt 4030
Whats really crappy is that the 3050 couldve shipped with no need for external power. A gpu with no need for extra power can upgrade way more systems.
looking at the difference in clock speeds it might not have been able to but probably could have been close... maybe they can make a 3040 ;)
I agree .
But IT had to win agains AMD rx6500xt .
The A2000 is more a heavily underclocked 3060 than a 3050. Huge bump in CUDA cores at lower clocks to reduce power draw for similar performance but increased manufacturing costs due to the extra cores (which is why the MSRP is much higher). Price is also higher because it's probably made in much smaller quantity with higher binned dies.
@@thedreadedgman anything less than 3050 is garbage and shouldn't exist. Even the 3050 shouldn't exist, not for the way it's called as a budget GPU when just a few years ago 1050 were the low end GPUs for 100$
It's just proof of how idiotic consumers have become and how much Nvidia is ripping people off just because they can
@@thedreadedgman It's just the ray tracing stuff adding to TDP. My 1.7ghz slight undervolt 3060ti only uses 100w in games, surely a 3050 could do 75 without all that stuff bogging down the card (Meanwhile the 3060ti in Furmark barely goes over 1200mhz at 200w.)
Good timing as always, just sat down for lunch.
Thanks for the video on the RTX A2000! Interested to see this on 11th gen intel with PCIE 4.0, might see a little more frames...
Thinking about getting one of these for a 2u workstation, the need for low profile is definitely making this a contender
such a strong showing for being a motherboard powered card. Honestly impressed with the little guy !
It's adorable! I'm rooting for this little card.
That's such a sleek looking card. And the performance is really commendable!
I’d love to see how much of an overclock could be put on this thing, as wells as how good of an undervolt it could do for both ends of the spectrum
I believe there’s also both workstation and gaming laptops that have that exact GPU integrated into the motherboard! :)
That's a loud smol cute little thing, prices are still outrageous! I'm so happy I managed to find a 6600XT for 400 in Aug2021. No way can find one now for that!
I was really surprised !!!
Pretty amazing how closely this matches the 3050 using half the power. Makes me wish they made the 3050 a 75W TDP card so you can run it off of PCIe power.
Why do you think it's more expensive? Miniaturisation costs £.
@@TheT0nedude Not really, its a workstation card and that what makes it more expensive. It just happened that it doesn't have LHR compare to geforce cards that's why miners are all over these cards.
@@TheT0nedude but its 3 times the price of a RTX3050 here.
The more videos of yours that I watch the happier I am that I bought my 1070ti brand new for £357 some years ago. That card still hold up.
I like how every video has a different editing style.
The Quadro AMP 2000, as I had been calling the lineup prior to the RTX: A Series rebranding, is what I originally predicted for Ampere at the 075 Watt level: GTX 1070 to Undervolted (but not Overclocked) 1070 Ti performance is what I was anticipating since Ampere's original announcement and I had not a doubt in my mind that if the RTX 3050 wasn't set to deliver this on its Memory Bandwidth, then it would be one of the lower end Quadros of this era because of that 0I92 Bit Memory Bus on the AMP 2000, that is proven here and this will also convert into similar performance on the Production side of things (not to mention you've also got Quadro Certification for many applications that can make full use of the card).
Any of you on an OEM system that is still using Polaris, Pascal, or somehow managed to find a Vega 0I2 or Vega 0I6 Prototype Card will be able to find the Quadro AMP 2000 as an ideal upgrade, especially those of us who have some relevant Haswell to Coffee Lake system that lacks a 06 or 08 Pin cable on the Power Supply; a card of this caliber would be perfect for my Hewlett~Packard Pavilion 590-p0057c, I intend to swap out the Intel 8400 and RX Lexa ("550", 02 GB) for a 9900 (No Suffix) and whatever would be 1070 performance or better at 075 Watts and it looks as if I have found my combination with the AMP 2000 and also what we get later on, it fits right in with the 03I0 Watt limit of the Power Supply and will allow for that build to do both Gaming and Workstation tasks at competent levels that were once impossible to witness on the Low Profile front almost Three and a Half Years ago. (:
This is THE LP card I have been looking forward to seeing testing all along. I love its design and the punch it packs for its size. Shame about the price, though.
That's really impressive for a 75W card. Why doesn't Nvidia give us a 75W 3040 or someting, that would be awesome!!!!!
This card is basically a 3050. Why didn't they make the 3050 75W is beyond my comprehension.
@@LSK2K Because it has a lower core count and much higher clock speed...
@@LSK2K Fewer cores and higher clock gives more speed to a card were big parts (afaik one third of a 3060) are deactivated.
If the 3050 was just an underclocked 3060 it would be the same amount of (active) silicon.
@@jochenkraus7016 I see. Thanks for clarifying that my guy.
@@LSK2K desktop geforce dies were always the garbage dumping ground for nvidia, laptop dies are much better binned as well
The performance is quite op actually, nice video!
The clocks are really low, so I guess if you overclock it a little (maybe OCing it is too much for those 75W) it could outperform the 3050 easily, maybe even getting closer to the 3060.
This will become a golden GPU in the second hand market. I hope it gets in a lot of prebuilts like the older low profile/single slot quadros, because that way, in a few years, there will be a lot of those for cheap.
You can normally OC any GPU, even laptops ones.
My GTX 1650 Mobile is running on 50W, +150MHz core clock and +950MHz memory clock. It can run on a core clock of 2055MHz (base boost clock of 1710MHz) and a memory clock of 4950MHz (instead of 4000) completely stable if running below 70°C.
@@rinsenpai135 Yeah, I know, I usually OC all my systems, but I haven't overclocked none of my 1030 GT, mainly because they are in media centers with lp fans/passive heatsinks or/and tiny PSU, so I don't know much about OCing cards that only draw power from the PCIe slot.
This will be great if you also im include comparison from previous units you tested
This is in my SFFPC, I 3d printed a low profile bracket for it. Works great.
thanks for this video... btw, why the black screen before? what was wrong aside the drivers not being installed?
The mini blower cooler gives a nostalgia from NVIDIA's old founders edition cards. and it is awesome haha
I was stroling on a hardware site like 2 days ago and saw this was. I wondered this very thing. Time to find out! Haha
Never heard of this card. I like it, but the thing that caught my attention the most was how slick it looked
If the price was right, that would make a nice little card for a small build or starter PC.
I think it's really quite impressive performance given it just runs off mitherboard power! Thank you for testing with RT and DLSS, seeing how it has more hardware dedicated to that than the 3050.
This was a nice card comparison! If I find one of these I in a parts liquidation I will know how much it is worth. 😃
Love your videos; thank you! I have been wondering: what software do you use for the benchmark/statistic display in the upper left corner?
Nice review 👍
Love your videos
Nice video 👌
Bought one on launch, about 2 month ago. mining ETH on my NAS and waiting for my 3.8L DC-ATX SFF case. Case maker still standing me up, almost mined 0.05eth now
Seems like a badass little card. Would like to have it in a sff build.
RTS 3040 xD
Really enjoy the content keep it up man 👍
i really love the look, very simple and cute card.
Looking at the prices on eBay right now, the cheapest BIN price on the card is 600 quid... Ironically, you can get a Palit RTX 3060 StormX 12 GB from Amazon for 579 quid, which means that you're not really getting good value on what is a cut-down 3050 with half the RAM!
Yeah the 3060 is the better value, but the 6600 non XT seems like the best option (at least in the UK right now)
Furthermore, you seem to be able to get 12 GB 3060s from other retailers for between 470-535 quid.
Admittedly, I got to the point where you mentioned the price that I found, but it's kinda crazy that something that is a cut down version of the 3050 is more expensive than a full version of a 3060!
its absolutely expensive, but it is meant for one exact purpose and it does that perfectly. as much power for a board power only card that takes up as little space as possible. if youre like me who needs an SFF card absolutely then its perfect, the price is just meh
@@RandomGaminginHD same in Romania. just ordered one
@@horridbeast4089 Yea put in a small server rack on the "cheap" for your small time rendering needs with enterprise support from nividia
Looks rather familiar that one 😆
Did think I heard a scream in the distance yesterday... must have been you on first boot 😂
😂 Thanks again, I can’t get over how small this thing is 😁
The design is soooo niceee brooo
will u benchmark on dying light 2, or maybe some times on the first game aswell?
You should try undervolting the card with the same clocks of course to see if you can make the most powerful extremely low power option for low profile builds
you should try reviewing the AMD Advantage laptops if you want to review something high-end because I have had issues with mine and streaming so that could be an interesting video
We need more gaming GPU with design like this. Sleek, clean and it will suits so well in black theme build.
Whoa,it looking cool.
thanks man
Got this card a couple of days ago, pretty impressed with it - just wondering, do you recommend using game ready drivers, like I do currently, or switch to the dedicated A2000 drivers?
i want one. it's low profile, it's has old school vibe with the blower cooler, it's decent enough.
I broke down and bought one because I've b been doing some side projects with Unreal and it's amazing for both rendering and such and gaming.
Im happy to see these lower end cards holding on with higher res nowa days, i went 4k and can’t go back now
I could not find this gpu at amazon which sold by amazon itself. This seems like a great workstation gpu.
Of what i was looking for that card, if we look only in gaming performance.... this is literaly a 980Ti, but with GDDR6, Low Profile and only requiring 70W instead of 250W...
i would love to get it into my SFF TV Build
honestly im curious how low of clock can u put the gpus u have before they become unstable 300mhz 500mhz 800mhz 1000 ect how much performance would they suffer
that's pretty good result considering workstation cards typically perform worse in gaming. while we're onto workstation card, mind benching its intended workload? vs 3050 with Studio diver or course
the small cute design makes me want it
This would make an awesome gpu for an emulation machine. Shit’d look tight in an itx case too
Got mine a couple of weeks ago for my HP 8300 SFF. It's amazing how much performance you can get from a 10 year old PC
How has it held up? Just ordered one for a Lenovo m920s sff 😎
@@jgm113 Very good, although temperatures can be on the high side
@@Brebgon i'm thinking about doing some case mods to address that, not quite sure how to go about it but I'll come up with something.
please keep the 60+ FPS like you do now
we know you're OK with 30 , but some of use HATE low frame rate
I'm curious if the fan noise is any worse than any other LP card which has fans that run all the time as well.
Dlss on the lower end cards, really bumps them up a tier, great value, now only if the prices were more normal ited be great.
Cheers mate! I wanted one of these, but it's impossible to buy one.
Hello Like and Yeswritten.. I liked the video, I have a question, can it be installed on a PCIe 3.0? Is it compatible, won't I have any problem?
I've watched all the major releases and this just breaks my hearts. Great enough performance in a compact package? Sure, price everyone out of the market despite this selling like gangbusters compared to the RX 6500 XT and all other older offerings combined. Put a real cooler on this and you have another 1050 Ti or a 1650 Super wunderkind. But you know. Something something supply chain something something chip fab output.
Something something yatta yatta
these tiny things are sooo cool
That card looks amazing, I want to put one in a J-Hack Pure Mk2
that shroud is CLEAN
i think in 3-5 years this will be a popular used market card for budget/small form factor builds.
I've always dreamed of a high-end gaming PC but every time I watched your videos, it encourages me to stick into mid-range gaming because your videos taught me a lot of things about being contented with your own system. Thank you.
Not even Hardware Unboxed has a review on this one. You're getting some rare stuff.
I thought id offer a bit of knowledge on the current pricing of this card, part of the reason for the high resale pricing of this card is because it is a very efficient when crypto mining. Basically it does more hashes per second for less power making it more desirable from a mining pov
You should run that on the external Dock. Would be a really interesting card to try it on since its so small. 🤔
Are you going to do a "Day in the life" kind of video or maybe a QnA?
I do like your Vcardz reviews!
But it will be lovely if you can share with us from where can we purchase these famous bargains!!
Hi, I've been eyeing that card ever since I've discovered your channel ! Have you seen that card below 400$ (CAD)? I've been searching for a cheap one that I would slap into my PC.
