The RTX A500 is a professional graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on November 10th, 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 RTX A500 to reach the product's target shader count. It features 2048 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. Also included are 64 tensor cores which help improve the speed of machine learning applications. The card also has 16 raytracing acceleration cores. NVIDIA has paired 4 GB GDDR6 memory with the RTX A500, which are connected using a 64-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1440 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1770 MHz, memory is running at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA RTX A500 does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 60 W maximum. This device has no display connectivity, as it is not designed to have monitors connected to it. RTX A500 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 4.0 x8 interface.
