TECH NEWS – Although it’s a slimmed down version of the RTX 6000 Ada, it’s another graphics card that can easily run a lot of games at higher settings.

The name sounds strange, that’s a fact, but this line (which used to be called Quadro) is not intended for the mainstream market, which Nvidia covers with its GeForce products. These are graphics cards for workstations and content creators (but that doesn’t mean you can’t play games on them). The RTX 5880 Ada showed up in the RTX Enterprise 537.99 driver back in December, but now Nvidia has officially launched the card, which has fewer cores than the RTX 6000, but the specs haven’t changed beyond that. The card was created due to US export regulations (so that “the greens” can take this product to the Chinese market).

It has a slightly scaled down AD102 GPU with 14080 CUDA and 440 Tensor cores (22% less than the RTX 6000 Ada card). It runs at around 2.5GHz, has 69.3 TFLOPs FP32 and 1108 TFLOps Tensor performance (24% less). 48GB of GDDR6 memory at 20Gbps with a bandwidth of 960GB/s. There’s a slight difference in power consumption though: it’s 285W instead of 300W for a dual-slot (which is becoming a rarity these days), actively cooled card with a triple encode/decode engine and four 1.4a DisplayPort connectors.

We can only speculate about the price as we have no official information on this. We do have a reference, which is a good starting point. Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4090D graphics card (also aimed at the Chinese market) has the same price as the original RTX 4090. From this we can conclude that the RTX 5880 Ada will probably be available for the same price as the RTX 6000 Ada. For this card, the asking price is around $6800, so it’ll be a rarity in an everyday computer…
