Advantech SKY-QUAD-2000EA-16 NVIDIA RTX 2000E Ada 16GB Single-Slot Low-Profile Workstation GPU with 50W Slot Power

Small GPU computers often have a low-profile slot and no spare power cable, which rules out most professional cards. The SKY-QUAD-2000EA-16 is the NVIDIA RTX 2000E Ada, a single-slot, low-profile workstation GPU supplied by Advantech that runs at 50 W with 16 GB of ECC memory and a long life cycle to year 2030. It suits compact and rugged GPU computers for vision, multi-display visualisation and light AI inference.

The NVIDIA Ada Lovelace GPU carries 2,816 CUDA cores, 88 fourth-generation Tensor Cores and 22 third-generation RT Cores, for 8.87 TFLOPS of single-precision performance. Memory is 16 GB of GDDR6 with ECC on a 128-bit interface at 224 GB/s, which gives more room for models and textures than the card’s power draw might suggest. CUDA, DirectCompute and OpenCL cover compute, with DirectX 12.07, Shader Model 6.6, OpenGL 4.68 and Vulkan 1.3 for graphics.

The SKY-QUAD-2000EA-16 connects over PCI Express 4.0 x8 and has no auxiliary power connector, so its 50 W maximum comes through the slot. Cooling is active, and the low-profile bracket ships in the accessory bag alongside the card. Four Mini DisplayPort 1.4a outputs drive four 4096 x 2160 displays at 120 Hz, four at 5120 x 2880 at 60 Hz or two at 7680 x 4320 at 60 Hz, with AV1 encode and decode, NVIDIA GPUDirect RDMA and NVIDIA Mosaic technology supported.

We supply the SKY-QUAD-2000EA-16 tested, and we fit, configure and burn-in test it in the GPU computers and servers we build, with power, cooling and drivers checked as part of each build. The SKY-QUAD-2000A-16 is the RTX 2000 Ada in a similar low-profile, 16 GB format, the SKY-QUAD-A1000-8 is an Ampere option at the same 50 W, and the SKY-QUAD-4000EA-20 steps up to a full-height, single-slot card.
