Summary
NVIDIA started A30 PCIe sales 12 April 2021. This is a desktop graphics card based on an Ampere architecture and made with 7 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 24 GB of HBM2 memory clocked at 2.4 GB/s are supplied, and together with 3072 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 933.1 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is dual-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 165 Watt.
We have no data on A30 PCIe benchmark results.
