These cards are also sometimes in tight servers. In fact, even in very small narrow cabinets. If you don’t need the space, you don’t have to use it. Using less material is actually cheaper.

Also, why does the workstation have to be high-powered? I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but quadros are often low on energy. Take a look at the price watch. Only the best 2 or 3 models of a generation have a higher TDP.

Why designing two cards when mounting the card on a low profile PCB, which has no performance defects due to low tdp, just works and covers all use cases?

Many Quadros and other workstation cards specialize not directly in arithmetic ability through heavy artillery, but rather in optimizing the task at hand and preferring accuracy over speed.

The RTX A2000 is a very good example of this. It’s about 80% faster than the RTX 3060, but it has a TDP of 70W, compared to 170 of the 3060.

Anyway, you know better than Nvidia, AMD, and Intel combined, got it?

Water cooling at workstations is really a YouTube thing. No company that cares about uptime will use water cooling in their workstations. Air cooling is more reliable due to the inherent lack of liquid that causes short circuit
