NVIDIA RTX A40: specs and benchmarks

NVIDIA started RTX A40 sales 5 October 2020. This is Ampere architecture desktop card based on 8 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at gamers. 48 GB of GDDR6 memory clocked at 14.5 GB/s are supplied, and together with 384 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 695.8 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 300 Watt.

We have no data on RTX A40 benchmark results.

Of RTX A40's architecture, market type and release date.

RTX A40's general performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core clock, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of RTX A40's performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider its benchmark and gaming test results.

Information on RTX A40's compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop video cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility).

Parameters of memory installed on RTX A40: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors don't have dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM.

Types and number of video connectors present on RTX A40. As a rule, this section is relevant only for desktop reference video cards, since for notebook ones the availability of certain video outputs depends on the laptop model.
