Third-generation RT compute units and industry-leading 48GB of GDDR6 memory deliver up to twice the real-time ray tracing performance of the previous generation to accelerate high-end creative workflows, including full-fidelity interactive rendering, 3D design, video streaming, and real-time virtual production.

Powerful computing power and AI

NVIDIA L40 delivers breakthrough capabilities to accelerate a wide range of compute-intensive workloads in the data center, including training, inference, data science, and graphics applications. The latest fourth-generation Tensor compute units provide enhanced AI capabilities to accelerate visual computing workloads and breakthrough performance for deep learning and inference applications.

Suitable for data centers

NVIDIA L40 is designed for uninterrupted operation in the enterprise data center and optimized for large-scale deployment. With enterprise-class components, energy-efficient hardware, and features such as secure boot with internal root-of-trust, L40 delivers the highest levels of performance and reliability for data center workloads. L40 is packaged in an energy-efficient two-slot design and is available from leading OEM partners in a variety of NVIDIA-certified systems.

NVIDIA Omniverse Enterprise

As the engine for NVIDIA Omniverse™ in the datacenter, NVIDIA L40 delivers powerful RTX and AI capabilities for workloads such as extended(XR) and virtual reality(VR) applications, design collaboration, and digital twins. For the most complex Omniverse workloads, NVIDIA L40 enables accelerated rendering of materials with ray tracing and pathtracing, physically accurate simulations, and generation of photorealistic synthetic 3D data.

Rendering and 3D graphics

Running professional 3D visualization applications with NVIDIA L40 enables creatives to iterate more frequently, render faster, and enjoy tremendous performance benefits that increase productivity and accelerate project completion. Artists and designers can work in real time with complex geometry and high-resolution textures to generate photorealistic designs and simulations and enable high-quality creative workflows.

High-performance virtual workstations

Combined with NVIDIA RTX™ Virtual Workstation(vWS) software*, the NVIDIA L40 delivers high-performance virtual workstations through a data center or the cloud on any device. Millions of creative and technical professionals can now use even the most demanding applications on any device thanks to breathtaking performance on par with a physical workstation - while meeting the necessary security requirements.
* Support for NVIDIA virtual GPU software from early 2023

AI training and data science

Powerful training and inference performance combined with enterprise-grade stability and reliability make NVIDIA L40 the ideal platform for AI training and development with a single GPU. NVIDIA L40 shortens time-to-completion workflows for model training and development and data science data preparation by providing higher throughput and support for a comprehensive range of precisions, including FP8.

Streaming and video content

NVIDIA L40 takes streaming and video content workloads to the next level with three video encoding engines and three video decoding engines. With the addition of AV1 encoding, the L40 delivers breakthrough performance and improved total cost of ownership for broadcast streaming, video production, and transcription workflows.
