Advantech SKY-QUAD-A2000E12B NVIDIA RTX A2000 12GB Low-Profile Professional Graphics Card with 70W Power Draw

OEM equipment that ships for years needs a GPU that stays the same for years, so the software image and qualification work only have to be done once. The SKY-QUAD-A2000E12B is the NVIDIA RTX A2000E 12 GB, a low-profile professional graphics card supplied by Advantech and listed as an NVIDIA long-life SKU with product life extended until 2029. It suits compact GPU computers for vision, inference and multi-display visualization.

The NVIDIA Ampere GPU carries 3,328 CUDA cores, 104 Tensor Cores and 26 RT Cores, for 8.0 TFLOPS of single-precision performance. Memory is 12 GB of GDDR6 with ECC on a 192-bit interface at 288 GB/s, which gives useful room for models and textures at a 70 W power level. CUDA, DirectCompute and OpenCL handle compute work, with DirectX 12.07, Shader Model 5.17, OpenGL 4.68 and Vulkan 1.2 for graphics.

The SKY-QUAD-A2000E12B connects over PCI Express 4.0 x16 and draws up to 70 W, with active cooling in a low-profile, dual-slot design. 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, which covers multi-screen operator stations and visualization walls from one card.

We supply the SKY-QUAD-A2000E12B 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-A1000-8 is a single-slot, 50 W option with 8 GB, the SKY-QUAD-2000EA-16 brings Ada Lovelace and 16 GB to a single-slot, low-profile card, and the SKY-QUAD-A4000E16B steps up to a 16 GB, single-slot card.
