Nvidia RTX A2000 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060

The Nvidia RTX A2000 Desktop GPU is a professional graphics card for small workstation PCs. It is based on the GA106 graphics chip, which is used in the GeForce RTX 3050 or GeForce RTX 3060 consumer graphics cards, among others. However, the GA106 only works with 3,328 active shader units, as well as 26 RT cores and 104 tensor units. The VRAM comprises 12 GB GDDR6 and communicates via a 192-bit memory interface. This results in a memory bandwidth of 288 GB/s.

The professional graphics cards from Nvidia offer certified drivers that are optimized for stability and performance in professional applications (CAD, DCC, medical, prospecting, visualization applications). This results in many advantages over consumer graphics cards.

Compact design and flexibility:

The RTX A2000 is designed in a low-profile form factor, making it ideal for smaller workstations or systems where space is a limited resource. Despite its compact size, the Nvidia RTX A2000 offers considerable computing power.

The graphics card is ideal for 3D modeling, CAD applications, video editing and visual effects where high precision and speed are paramount. Thanks to the combination of CUDA, Tensor and Raytracing cores, the Nvidia RTX A2000 offers significant performance improvements in the areas of real-time rendering and AI-supported image processing.

Energy efficiency and power consumption:

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 is a mid-range desktop graphics card utilizing the GB206 chip based on the Blackwell architecture with 3,840 CUDA cores. The 5060 offers 8 GB GDDR7 graphics memory with a 128-bit memory bus. Additionally, the model features 30 RT-cores and 120 Tensor Cores (5th Gen).

Performance

Thanks to the bump in dedicated RT/CUDA cores and new architecture, the card is expected to offer better performance compared to the previous RTX 4060. The RTX 5060 is expected to be one of the fastest mid-range GPUs in 2025.

According to our tests, RTX 5060 is 32% ahead of the previous-gen RTX 4060, but also 14% behind the RTX 5060 Ti in the synthetic benchmarks and professional applications. The gaming performance is up to 26% better than that of the RTX 4060, but at the same time, the model trails the RTX 5070 by 34%.

Power consumption

The GB206 chip is manufactured in the modern 4N FinFET process (5nm) at TSMC and specified with a TGP (Total Graphics Power) of 145 Watts (35 W higher than RTX 4060).
