I believe the issue with Lovelace is that you may find less than PG results typing that on a search engine. Hence using Ada primarily on the marketing.

I think the complaint is more with the consumer card being 4xxx but this is 5000 both on the same architecture.

Yeah they have different naming conventions on the workstation cards;

Quadro RTX 4000

RTX A4000

RTX 4000 Ada

Unfortunately they’ve had 3 separate naming conventions in 3 successive generations. Those 4000 series cards are in the same position in the lineup for each generation.

I just went through this with our Dell rep. The generations aren't totally successive, if you count the non-Quadro RTX 4000 series, which is Ada generation but not part of the RTX 4000 Ada series.

Add to it the card variants, and there's a chance that you might still end up with the wrong part if your purchaser isn't careful.
