NVIDIA Introduces New RTX A5000 and RTX A4000 GPUs - Ampere Based Graphics Cards
At GTC 2021, NVIDIA introduced two new professional graphics cards, the RTX A5000 and RTX A4000. Both new products are built on the fresh Ampere architecture and are aimed at professional users involved in the field of visualization of digital information 3D graphics
The RTX A5000 uses 8192 CUDA cores, as well as 256 tensor and 64 RT cores. The video card received 24 GB of GDDR6 video memory with ECC error correction and 384-bit bus support. The theoretical peak memory bandwidth is stated at 768 GB / s.
According to NVIDIA, the RTX A5000 is poised to deliver 27,8 teraflops of single-precision performance. The performance of RT cores in ray tracing tasks can reach 54,2 teraflops, and the performance of tensor cores can reach 222,2 teraflops.
The RTX A5000 has a claimed power consumption of 230W. The video card is equipped with one 8-pin auxiliary power connector. As part of the cooling system, a tangential type fan is used. External interfaces include four DisplayPort 1.4 connectors. The manufacturer indicates that the card will occupy two expansion slots in the system.
For new items, support for GPU virtualization is announced through tools such as NVIDIA Virtual Workstation and NVIDIA Virtual Compute Server. The card offers support for NVLink technology, allowing you to organize workstations with two similar professional graphics accelerators. The cooling system of the novelty is of the tangential type. In the PC case, the video card will occupy two expansion slots.
The RTX A4000 model received 6144 CUDA cores, 192 tensor and 48 RT cores. The RTX A4000 has peak single precision performance of 19,2 Tflops, ray tracing up to 37,4 Tflops, and tensor core performance of up to 153,4 Tflops.
The video card is equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6 video memory with a 256-bit bus and ECC error correction function. The theoretical memory bandwidth is 448 GB/s.
The declared level of energy consumption of new items is 140 watts. The video card is equipped with one 6-pin auxiliary power connector. The graphics accelerator's external interfaces include four DisplayPort 1.4 connectors. The video card is compact and requires one free expansion slot for installation. Support for NVLink technology has not been announced for the younger division.
