Verdict
NVIDIA Quadro RTX A6000
7.9 / 10 Expert Rating
Still a genuinely useful 48GB workstation card on the secondhand market, even four years after launch - just expect a real gap versus current RTX PRO Blackwell cards in ray tracing and AI performance.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti
7.4 / 10 Expert Rating
A historically important card that introduced ray tracing to consumers - still playable at 1440p today, but clearly outclassed by anything from the RTX 30 series onward.
