NVIDIA RTX 5000 ADA workstation GPU has been spotted in the drivers

NVIDIA RTX 5000 ADA

The launch of third ADA workstation desktop GPU is now imminent. 

The new RTX 5000 “Ada Generation” graphics card has now been discovered in the drivers. The Device ID of “26B2” is associated with the upcoming RTX workstation graphics processors, the same GPU we discussed last month.

Thus far, NVIDIA has announced two RTX ADA GPU: 6000 ADA and 4000 ADA SFF. The latter is a mid-range GPU designed for small form factor PCs. This GPU offers 20 GB of GDDR6 EEC memory and is paired with an AD104 GPU with 6144 CUDA cores. The RTX 6000 ADA is an entirely different beast, featuring an AD102 GPU and 18176 cores. The memory subsystem packs 48GB of GDDR6 EEC memory.

As long as rumors are concerned, the RTX 5000 Ada is said to feature an AD102 GPU with 15320 CUDA cores. This model would also get 32GB GDDR6 memory, which is somewhat a middle ground between the 4000/6000 series.

NVIDIA has not yet confirmed the release of RTX 5000, but the appearance of this GPU in the driver is a clear sign that the launch could happen at any moment now. This leak appears just 10 days after AMD announced its Navi 31-based Radeon Pro W7900 and W7800 GPUs. The latter already offers 32GB of VRAM, so there is definitely room for a competing product.
