- wmf 3y agoNvidia's understated industrial design is refreshing compared to blinged-out gamer GPUs.
- postalrat 3y agoA black box qualifies as industrial design? Industrial components tend to be open and not in a black box.
- wmf 3y agoThat's not what industrial design means in this context. https://www.idsa.org/about-idsa/advocacy/what-industrial-design/ https://www.idsa.org/about-idsa/advocacy/what-industrial-des...

- nonbirithm 3y agoAt first I thought this was the 48GB card that had been rumored for a while, but it turns out it's just a sanctions-compliant RTX 6000 Ada for export to China. https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/nvidia-launches-another-sanctions-compliant-gpu-for-china-rtx-5880-ada-debuts-with-14080-cuda-cores-48gb-gddr6 https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/nvidia-launc...
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 3y agoI thought Gina Raimondo warned them to cut it out? https://www.reuters.com/technology/us-talks-with-nvidia-about-ai-chip-sales-china-raimondo-2023-12-11/ https://www.reuters.com/technology/us-talks-with-nvidia-abou... > "That's not productive," Raimondo said. "I am telling you if you redesign a chip around a particular cutline that enables them to do AI, I am going to control it the very next day."
- KennyBlanken 3y agoI saw somewhere that quote mentioned, and then someone had a link to a later article where she walked it back quite a bit.
- petesergeant 3y ago> She said traditionally Commerce drew a "cutline" and companies like Nvidia would create a new chip "just below" that line ... "That's not productive," Raimondo said That seems ridiculous at first glance? I'm assuming a "cutline" here is what the maximum performance is allowed to be, and asking companies to add in a fuzzy "extra" bit there, instead of building right to the line is bizarre?
- justinclift 3y agoFrom the data sheet: https://resources.nvidia.com/en-us-design-viz-stories-ep/proviz-rtx-5880 https://resources.nvidia.com/en-us-design-viz-stories-ep/pro... * NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture-based CUDA Cores: 14,080 * NVIDIA fourth-generation Tensor Cores: 440 * NVIDIA third-generation RT Cores: 110 * Single-precision performance: 69.3 TFLOPS * RT Core performance: 160.2 TFLOPS * Tensor performance: 1108.4 TFLOPS Seems like it'd be in between the 4080 and 4090 raw power wise, but with double the memory of the 4090?
- andersa 3y agoAnd comes with a price 5 times that of the 4090 for no apparent reason, I assume?
- justinclift 3y agoDoesn't seem to have pricing info anywhere obvious online, but yeah it probably is because "professional market" plus "its the only high end part they're allowed to get in China now". ;)
- eyegor 3y agoProbably not 5x, more like 5-6k. The a6000 is $7k and this is a cut down version.
- qayxc 3y agoWhat really surprised me was the 285W TGP. That's mighty impressive considering that the previous generation equivalent (the RTX A6000) used 300W at less than 60% the (theoretical) performance.
- wmf 3y agoAda Lovelace is really power-efficient. It's a shame it's so expensive because otherwise it's a great GPU architecture.

- zontorol 3y agoThe words AI and LLM do not appear on this page. > With 48GB GDDR6 memory, RTX 5880 gives data scientists, engineers, and creative professionals the large memory needed to work with large datasets and workloads like rendering, data science, and simulation. I wonder what else might need this much memory...
- solardev 3y agoChrome with seven tabs open?
- lvncelot 3y agoThere's some work being done in GPU-accelerated fluid/smoke simulations, like Axiom for Houdini[1] - but to be honest, it seems like the AI use case is very heavily implied. Most simulations are still being done via CPU/RAM. [1] https://www.theoryaccelerated.com/ https://www.theoryaccelerated.com/
- andrewstuart 3y agoIntel is well behind AMD and Nvidia in terms of GPU processing power and it might take them a while to catch up. BUT - is there anything preventing Intel simply adding a ton of RAM to their cards? Why not make a 64GB or 128GB card - even with Intel's underpowered GPU, won't the AI folks all be loving it? Surely that's not that hard to do and yet would make Intel GPUs appealing, would it not? Please correct me as I have no technical expertise on this - maybe there is something about GPUs that means its not possible to add lots of RAM? Nvidia and AMD are notoriously stingy with GPU RAM, and even if there's lots of RAM there's a ridiculously high price. Is this an angle for Intel to get an advantage? And while they are at it, drop 8 or 16 video encoder cores on there too.
- wmf 3y agoGDDR6 doesn't support huge capacities. Maybe Intel could create an A770 32GB though.
- userbinator 3y agoWhat do you mean by "doesn't support huge capacities"? You can always add more channels in parallel.
- wtallis 3y agoYeah, if you tape out a new chip; but that's a pretty vacuous statement. The capacities of GDDR6 modules available do impose a meaningful constraint on the total RAM that any given GPU can be equipped with, and while Intel is still struggling to get any foothold in the GPU market at all, it would be a big risk for them to invest in bringing to market a chip with eg. 4x the memory controller to compute ratio typically used by GPUs just so they could claim to have the cheapest 128GB GPU.
- davrosthedalek 3y agoAt some point you run out of pins, and the routing gets harder and harder. GDDR6 has very hard constraints on signal path length/quality. It gets expensive very quickly.
- tetrisgm 3y ago69.3 TFLOPS. Feels like it was 2 weeks ago that 1TF was a big deal. Jesus
- snuxoll 3y agoShockingly, it was as far back as 2008 that AMD released the Radeon HD 4800 series that first broke the tflop barrier for GPUs. As far as our individual perceptions of time though, I agree, it still doesn't feel like that long; but most of the advances in compute performance since then largely feel wasted so that probably has a lot to do with it IMO.

- imtringued 3y agoA midrange GPU has 2 teraflops in 2012. That was half an eternity ago.
- AbuAssar 3y agodid Nvidia drop the quadro moniker?
- wtallis 3y agoYes, they phased it out 2018-2020 and have now released three generations of pro GPUs without it. They also dropped the Tesla branding for compute-only counterparts to the pro graphics Quadro parts.
- system2 3y agoWhy do these professional cards look so bland while the typical consumer cards look like futuristic spaceships?
- jupp0r 3y agoHarder to expense it if it has RGB led bling?
- Shorel 3y agoAlso, in a business setting, RGB looks like it is not professional enough for serious processing. Personally, I don't like the LEDs in my GPU. It's the only hardware I have with pointless colouring, but there was no option without it =) 'Bland' is also: not noisy and not distracting. I don't want the extra illumination, all I want to watch and focus on is in the computer display.
- MaxBarraclough 3y agoIt's generally possible to disable the LEDs in software, at least.
- danparsonson 3y agoUnnecessary embellishments don't sell cards to businesses as well as they do to young adults? Edit to add: also consider that other manufacturers besides nVidia need some way to differentiate their products when they're basically all selling the same thing.
- BossingAround 3y agoHonestly, I'd much prefer a bland card that has actually good (and quiet) cooling to a "winter-edition" white MSI card with blue LEDs that sounds like a helicopter is taking off when you boot up a game.
- lvncelot 3y agoIt's shocking how bad fans on consumer GPUs are. I had to replace the fans on my 3090 with a custom 3D-printed shroud and Noctua fans because the high-pitched whine was just unbearable.
- avmich 3y agoA strange feeling of de javu. Once upon a time Nvidia made a card called Riva TNT, which was a great polished product for the needs of the time, and really pushed their competitor of the day, 3dfx. Now this today's card looks like nothing revolutionary, yet suspiciously close to what the market is seemingly asking for...
