NVIDIA has introduced a graphics card for professional use RTX 5880 Ada — a stripped-down version of the RTX 6000 Ada graphics card released in 2022 and a kind of professional analogue of the recently introduced GeForce RTX 4090D. The new product is intended for China and a number of other countries where the original RTX 6000 Ada can no longer be delivered due to new US sanctions.
The NVIDIA RTX 5880 Ada specs suggest a stripped-down GPU while other specs remain unchanged. The workstation graphics card, like the consumer GeForce RTX 4090D, was developed in accordance with the updated US export policy – its performance was artificially reduced to meet the requirements for delivery to sanctioned countries.
The NVIDIA RTX 5880 Ada is equipped with a stripped-down version of the flagship AD102 GPU with 14,080 CUDA cores and 4,400 Tensor cores. This is a 22% core count reduction compared to the flagship RTX 6000 Ada. The GPU clock speed is 2.5GHz, delivering 69.3 teraflops of FP32 performance and 1,108 teraflops of Tensor performance – a 24% reduction compared to the RTX 6000.
There is 48 GB of GDDR6 RAM on board with a bandwidth of 960 GB/s. Power consumption decreased by 15 W and was 285 W – the RTX 6000 Ada had 300 W. The NVIDIA RTX 5880 Ada graphics card has a dual-slot design with active cooling and four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs. There are three encoding/decoding engines with AV1 support.
There’s no official pricing information yet, but you can expect the NVIDIA RTX 5880 Ada to cost the same as the RTX 6000 Ada, so around $6,800. Because the “anti-sanctions” NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090D has the same price as the RTX 4090.
