The A16 PCIe is a professional graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on April 12th, 2021. Built on the 8 nm process, and based on the GA107 graphics processor, the card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate. The GA107 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 200 mm² and 8,700 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked GeForce RTX 3050 8 GB GA107, which uses the same GPU but has all 2560 shaders enabled, NVIDIA has disabled some shading units on the A16 PCIe to reach the product's target shader count. A16 PCIe combines four graphics processors to increase performance. It features 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs, per GPU. Also included are 40 tensor cores which help improve the speed of machine learning applications. The card also has 10 raytracing acceleration cores. NVIDIA has paired 64 GB GDDR6 memory with the A16 PCIe, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface per GPU (each GPU manages 16,384 MB). The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1312 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1755 MHz, memory is running at 1563 MHz (12.5 Gbps effective). Being a dual-slot card, the NVIDIA A16 PCIe draws power from an 8-pin EPS power connector, with power draw rated at 250 W maximum. This device has no display connectivity, as it is not designed to have monitors connected to it. A16 PCIe is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 4.0 x8 interface. The card measures 267 mm in length, 112 mm in width, and features a dual-slot cooling solution.
