Summary
With the RTX A5000, NVIDIA has succeeded in more than just a simple replacement of the Quadro RTX 5000, because in addition to the increased performance in the classic areas, the advantages of the Ampere architecture also come into play here. Since the large GA102-850 is operated very close to the sweet spot, the efficiency of the card also increases not insignificantly. In the benchmarks, the RTX A5000 is almost always slightly to significantly faster than the Quadro RTX 5000 without taking up more electrical power, on the contrary.
If you then consider the added value that the improved Tensor cores and the higher number of RT cores offer compared to the Turing card, then it also becomes clear why the advantage of the RTX A5000 over the Quadro RTX 5000 is so large in some applications away from normal rasterization. Here, NVIDIA has once again been able to improve significantly and created more than just a nice sidegrade with the RTX A5000.
The cooler is a bit loud, but at least it remains a bit quieter than the cooler of the Radeon Pro W6800, which also has to dissipate 20 watts more. So in the end, it’s more of a draw. However, except for Solidworks, the RTX A5000 is significantly faster than the Radeon Pro W6800 in some cases, and it dominates the AMD card in most render applications and compute. There you stay faster and in the end even more efficient, which can be quite surprising.
Conclusion
NVIDIA’s lead in “AI for all” is still huge, and certainly benefits on far greater resources for software development. The current retail price of about 2500 Euro is certainly fair considering the performance, also in view of the weaker NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000, which is currently available for a little over 2050 Euro, and also the Radeon Pro W6800, which is hardly cheaper than the RTX A5000 at about 2450 Euro, but still can’t keep up in terms of performance and efficiency.
With NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstation software (vWS), you also get a nice feature for virtual solutions and with NVLINK, performance scales quite well with multiple cards. All in all, I would recommend the RTX A5000 instead of the Radeon Pro W6800 at this point, because the price is about the same and the feature set of the NVIDIA card is much more extensive. Of course, you have to weigh the applications against each other, no question. But you end up getting even more memory at NVIDIA for almost the same price. It’s almost like hell freezing over. Well, at least a little.
The card was provided to igorsLAB by NVIDIA for testing without obligation. There was no possible influence of the manufacturer on the test and the results, nor was there any obligation to publish them.
