Verdict
AMD Radeon PRO W7800
8 / 10 Expert Rating
A well-balanced mid-flagship workstation card - most of the W7900's VRAM value at a friendlier price.
NVIDIA RTX A5000
7.2 / 10 Expert Rating
A solid, aging workstation card best considered on the secondhand market now that two newer generations of RTX PRO cards have replaced it.
