Summary

NVIDIA started A10G sales 12 April 2021. This is a desktop graphics card based on an Ampere architecture and made with 8 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 12 GB of GDDR6 memory clocked at 12.5 GB/s are supplied, and together with 384 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 600.2 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via PCIe 4.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 267 mm. 8-pin EPS power connector is required, and power consumption is at 150 Watt.

It provides good gaming and benchmark performance at
