In November of 2019, we looked at the high-end NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000, which matched closely to a Titan RTX in performance but with a much large memory capacity at 48GB’s of GDDR6 ECC. Next up, we have an NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000, which matches up to RTX 2080 series but with double the memory at 16GB GDDR6 ECC. With the added memory, the Quadro RTX 5000 can now run many deep learning applications that the RTX 2080 cannot. Aside from the hardware specs, as part of NVIDIA’s Quadro line the Quadro RTX 5000 is certified to run a number of professional applications making it a versatile part. In our review, we are going to see what this GPU has to offer.

The Quadro RTX 5000 GPU has a length of 10.5” long, width of 1.38” and a height of 4.4”. It is a dual-slot graphics card using a blower type cooler. The blower-style cooler allows for better cooling in servers as well as densely packed workstations.
