Designed for exceptional performance

CUDA computing units based on NVIDIA Ampere architecture

Double-speed processing for single-precision floating-point (FP32) operations and improved power efficiency for significant desktop performance improvements in graphics and simulation workflows, such as complex 3D computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided engineering (CAE).

Second generation RT computing units

With twice the throughput of the previous generation and the ability to run ray tracing with either shading or denoising capabilities, the second-generation RT compute units offer tremendous speed advantages for workloads such as photorealistic rendering of movies, architectural design evaluations, and virtual prototyping of product designs. This technology also accelerates ray tracing motion blur rendering for faster results with greater visual accuracy.

Third generation tensor computing units

New Tensor Float 32 accuracy (TF32) provides 5x the training throughput of the previous generation to accelerate model training for AI and data science without requiring code changes. Double inference throughput thanks to hardware support for Structural Sparsity. With Tensor computational units, AI also finds application in graphics, with features such as.DLSSaI denoising, and enhanced processing in select applications.

NVIDIA NVLink® third generation

Increased GPU-to-GPU interconnect bandwidth enables the use of a single, scalable graphics memory to accelerate graphics and compute workloads, as well as handle larger amounts of data.

48 gigabytes (GB) of graphics memory

Ultra-fast GDDR6 memory, scalable up to 96GB with NVLink, provides data scientists, engineers, and creative professionals with the memory volume they need to work with large data sets and workloads such as data science and simulation.

Ready for virtualization

The supportedNVIDIA Virtual Graphics Processor (vGPU) softwareenables the transformation of a personal workstation into multiple high-performance virtual workstation instances, allowing remote users to leverage shared resources for high-value design, AI, and compute tasks.

PCI Express Gen 4

PCI Express Gen 4 support doubles bandwidth over PCIe Gen 3 and improves data transfer rates from CPU memory for data-intensive tasks such as AI and data science.

Energy efficiency

With a dual-slot, energy-efficient design, the RTX A6000 is up to twice as efficient as Turing GPUs and is designed to fit into a wide range of workstations from OEM vendors around the world.
