HOW TO CHOOSE
RTX 5880 Ada vs RTX 6000 Ada
Same 48 GB at 960 GB/s, but 14,080 versus 18,176 CUDA cores (about 23% trimmed) for export compliance. Inference buyers barely feel it; compute-heavy professional work does. Inside China it is the top legal Ada workstation card.
Workload fit
RTX 5880 Ada: professional 48 gb workloads, mid-size llm inference, training-adjacent work. RTX 6000 Ada: inference to 34b, fine-tuning, professional graphics.
