The A2000 is basically a downclocked and cut down 3060 die, so in theory a consumer version of the A2000 with 6GB of non-ECC RAM could have been sold for roughly the same price as the 3060. That is something I would gladly pay for, and the rest of us in this thread as well, but the overall market for such a GPU is veeeeeery small. The typical use case for dual slot LP cards used to be upgrading old SFF office PCs, but lately many those SFF models have been putting the 16x slot in such a place that they only accept single slot cards... I think that's why the only modern consumer level LP card is the single slot RX 6400...Dual slot LP GPUs are a very niche thing for hobbyist SFF cases nowadays. It still makes sense on the professional side of things because there are use cases for running 4 or even 8 A2000s in a single machine and then the form factor with blower cooler comes in very handy.Also, not sure if anyone noticed already but the RTX 4000 Ada comes with a backplate nowMOD EDIT: I've merged your double post, please use the edit button in the future (once available to you if not already) to help with thread readability
