A30 PCIe: specs and benchmarks
Contents
Summary
NVIDIA started A30 PCIe sales 12 April 2021. This is an Ampere architecture desktop card based on 7 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 24 GB of HBM2 memory clocked at 1.22 GHz are supplied, and together with 3072 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 933.1 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is a dual-slot graphics 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.
