As part of SIGGRAPH 2023, NVIDIA more quietly announced brand new Ada Generation GPUs (graphics processing units) in the new NVIDIA RTX 5000, RTX 4500, and RTX 4000. The latest generation GPUs boost AI, computer graphics, and real-time rendering workloads.
Ada Generation GPUs
“Few workloads are as challenging as generative AI and digitalization applications, which require a full-stack approach to computing,” said Bob Pette, vice president of professional visualization at NVIDIA. “Professionals can now tackle these on a desktop with the latest NVIDIA-powered RTX workstations, enabling them to build vast, digitalized worlds in the new age of generative AI.”
The new NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada generation GPU delivers accelerated workflows for digital content creation (DCC) and CAD professionals, especially those using AI-powered applications.
The very latest RTX workstations now can offer up to four NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada GPUs, each fully equipped with 48GB of memory. A single workstation can deliver 5,828 TFLOPS of computing power for demanding AI workloads and up to 192GB of GPU memory. Here’s a look at the three new Ada additions in more detail:
