Nvidia presents two 70-watt graphics cards

Nvidia presents two professional graphics cards for small workstations: the RTX Pro 4000 SFF Blackwell and RTX Pro 2000 Blackwell. Both models come in a flat design with half the height and a maximum power consumption of 70 watts. The graphics cards have no power connections – they draw all their power from the PCI Express slot.

The RTX Pro 4000 SFF Blackwell uses the same GB203 GPU with 8960 shader cores as the previous RTX Pro 4000 (full height). A similar variant sits on the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. Nvidia does not specify any clock frequencies, but only a computing performance of up to 770 TOPS in AI applications. Due to the limitation to 70 watts, however, the real clock frequencies should be significantly lower than with all other GB203 graphics cards.

At the same time, Nvidia throttles the GDDR7 memory to a transfer rate of 432 GByte/s. For comparison, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti achieves twice as much. With the RTX Pro 4000 SFF Blackwell, the memory clock frequency is lower, and Nvidia cuts the interface from 256 to 192 bits. This enables 24 GB of RAM with 12 memory modules – 50 percent more than the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti.

The rumor mill assumes that a GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Super will be released with 24 GB of memory on 256 data paths. In contrast to the professional version presented here, Nvidia is presumably using new 3 GB modules.

RTX Pro 2000 Blackwell

Meanwhile, the RTX Pro 2000 Blackwell uses a GB206 GPU with 4352 shader cores. In terms of core count alone, it is positioned between the GeForce RTX 5060 and GeForce RTX 5060 Ti. Nvidia states 545 TOPS for AI applications.

The model comes with 16 GB of memory at 128 bits. According to the data sheet, this is GDDR7 RAM, but Nvidia throttles it considerably to 288 GByte/s.

Both the RTX Pro 4000 SFF Blackwell and the RTX Pro 2000 Blackwell are only connected via eight PCIe 5.0 lanes. Both graphics cards have four mini display ports (2.1b). The 4000 model has a sync port on the top edge for digital signage systems: this allows displays on several graphics cards to be controlled as one screen.

Market launch to follow

The recommended retail price of the RTX Pro 4000 SFF Blackwell is 1500 US dollars. The RTX Pro 2000 is expected to cost 700 US dollars. Nvidia only says “later in the year” for the delivery date. The retailer Proshop expects the RTX Pro 4000 SFF Blackwell (starting from 1781,71 €) to be delivered soon.
