RTX 2000E “Ada” in stealth launch: NVIDIA’s single-slot wonder with ECC memory

NVIDIA has introduced a new graphics card in its RTX Workstation series, the RTX 2000E, which is based on the Ada Lovelace architecture. This card is a further development of the existing RTX 2000 Ada and is aimed at professional users who require precise and reliable results. If you want to see the performance of the original RTX 2000, please refer to our charts.

The RTX 2000E Ada differs from the standard version of the RTX 2000 Ada by the integration of Error Correcting Code (ECC) memory. This ECC memory enables the card to detect and correct data errors in real time, which is particularly important in applications where accuracy is critical. Applications such as scientific computing, AI training and content creation, where data integrity is paramount, benefit from this functionality.

Externally, the RTX 2000E Ada presents itself as a compact and energy-efficient solution. It is designed as a low-profile and single-slot GPU, which makes it particularly suitable for use in smaller housings. Compared to the regular RTX 2000 Ada, the cooler housing of the RTX 2000E is slightly smaller, but the card has remained the same length and continues to use a blower-style cooler. This compact design enables easy integration into a wide range of workstation environments without having to compromise on performance.

Technically speaking, the RTX 2000E Ada adopts most of the specifications of the RTX 2000 Ada. It has 2816 CUDA cores, 22 third-generation RT cores and 88 fourth-generation Tensor cores. This hardware configuration is optimized for tasks such as ray tracing, AI calculations and other professional applications. The card is equipped with 16 GB GDDR6 memory, which is connected via a 128-bit memory bus, resulting in a memory bandwidth of around 224 GB/s.

Another difference to the standard version is the lower power consumption of the RTX 2000E Ada, which manages with a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 50 W, while the regular version is specified at 70 W. However, this reduction in power consumption is accompanied by a slight reduction in computing power. The RTX 2000E offers a single-precision performance of up to 8.9 TFLOPS, while the regular RTX 2000 Ada achieves 12 TFLOPS. The ray tracing performance is 20.5 TFLOPS and the tensor performance reaches 71 TFLOPS or 71 AI TOPS.

The graphics card is equipped with four Mini-DisplayPort 1.4a connections, which enable versatile display output. It also supports DLSS 3.0, a technology that makes it possible to improve image quality in applications while simultaneously increasing performance. The AV1 encoder is also integrated, making it a good choice for content creators and streamers.

Currently, the NVIDIA RTX 2000E Ada graphics card is listed at SHI, among others, at a price of 820 US dollars, while the recommended retail price (MSRP) is 849 US dollars. This positions the RTX 2000E Ada as a specialized solution that goes beyond the scope of the regular RTX 2000 Ada, targeting professional users who rely on precise calculations and data integrity.
