NVIDIA Intros RTX A1000 and A400: Entry-Level ProViz Cards Get Ray Tracing
by Ryan Smith on April 16, 2024 12:00 PM EST - Posted in - GPUs - NVIDIA - Quadro RTX - RTX - Ampere With NVIDIA’s Turing architecture turning six years old this year, the company has been retiring many of the remaining Turing products from its video card lineup. And today that spirit of spring cleaning is coming to the entry-level segment of NVIDIA’s professional visualization lineup, where NVIDIA is introducing a pair of new desktop cards based on their low-end Ampere hardware.
It goes without saying that as low-end cards, the ray tracing performance of either part is nothing to write home about, but it gives NVIDIA’s current proviz lineup a consistent set of graphics features from top to bottom.

Meanwhile the RTX A400 will hit distribution channels in May, and with OEMs expected to begin offering the cards as part of their pre-built systems this summer.
