The A40 PCIe is a professional graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on October 5th, 2020. Built on the 8 nm process, and based on the GA102 graphics processor, the card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate. The GA102 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 628 mm² and 28,300 million transistors. It features 10752 shading units, 336 texture mapping units, and 112 ROPs. Also included are 336 tensor cores which help improve the speed of machine learning applications. The card also has 84 raytracing acceleration cores. NVIDIA has paired 48 GB GDDR6 memory with the A40 PCIe, which are connected using a 384-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1305 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1740 MHz, memory is running at 1812 MHz (14.5 Gbps effective).
Being a dual-slot card, the NVIDIA A40 PCIe draws power from an 8-pin EPS power connector, with power draw rated at 300 W maximum. Display outputs include: 3x DisplayPort 1.4a. A40 PCIe is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 4.0 x16 interface. The card measures 267 mm in length, 111 mm in width, and features a dual-slot cooling solution.
