NVIDIA RTX A2000
Compact Design. Unmatched Performance.
The NVIDIA RTX™ A2000 brings the power of NVIDIA RTX technology, realtime ray tracing, AI-accelerated compute, and high-performance graphics to more professionals. Built on the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, the VR ready RTX A2000 combines 26 second-generation RT Cores, 104 thirdgeneration Tensor Cores, and 3,328 next-generation CUDA® cores and 6 or 12GB of GDDR6 graphics memory with error correction code (ECC) support for error free computing. RTX A2000 GPUs feature a powerefficient low profile, dual-slot PCIe form factor that fits into a wide range of small form factor workstations, and the RTX A2000 12GB doubles memory for even larger models and datasets. Design bigger, render faster, and work smarter than ever before with RTX A2000 GPUs.
PERFORMANCE
NVIDIA Ampere Architecture
NVIDIA RTX A2000 | RTX A2000 12GB (RTX A2000 series GPUs) are the most powerful dual slot, low profile GPU solution offering high performance real-time ray tracing, AI-accelerated compute, and professional graphics rendering, all of this in a compact design with unmatched performance. Building upon the major SM enhancements from the Turing GPU, the NVIDIA Ampere architecture enhances ray tracing operations, tensor matrix operations, and concurrent executions of FP32 and INT32 operations.
CUDA Cores
The NVIDIA Ampere architecture-based CUDA cores bring up to 2X the single-precision floating point (FP32) throughput compared to the previous generation, providing significant performance improvements for graphics workflows such as 3D model development and compute for workloads such as desktop simulation for computer-aided engineering (CAE). RTX A2000 series GPUs enable two FP32 primary data paths, doubling the peak FP32 operations.
PCIe Gen 4
RTX A2000 series GPUs support PCI Express Gen 4, which provides double the bandwidth of PCIe Gen 3, improving data-transfer speeds from CPU memory for data-intensive tasks like AI and data science.
Higher Speed GDDR6 Memory
Available with 6GB or 12GB of GDDR6 memory, the RTX A2000 series GPUs provide an ideal memory footprint to address datasets and models in latency-sensitive professional applications and at volume.
NVIDIA RTX IO
Accelerating GPU-based lossless decompression performance by up to 100x and 20x lower CPU utilization compared to traditional storage APIs using Microsoft’s new DirectStorage for Windows API. RTX IO moves data from the storage to the GPU in a more efficient, compressed form, and improving I/O performance.
5th Generation NVDEC Enginei
NVDEC is well suited for transcoding and video playback applications for real-time decoding. The following video codecs are supported for hardware-accelerated decoding: MPEG-2, VC-1, H.264 (AVCHD), H.265 (HEVC), VP8, VP9, and AV1.
3rd Generation Tensor Cores
Purpose-built for deep learning matrix arithmetic at the heart of neural network training and inferencing functions, RTX A2000 series GPUs include enhanced Tensor Cores that accelerate more datatypes and includes a new Fine-Grained Structured Sparsity feature that delivers up to 2X throughput for tensor matrix operations compared to the previous generation. New Tensor Cores will accelerate two new TF32 and BFloat16 precision modes. Independent floating-point and integer data paths allow more efficient execution of workloads using a mix of computation and addressing calculations.
2nd Generation RT Cores
Incorporating 2nd generation ray tracing engines, NVIDIA Ampere architecture-based GPUs provide incredible ray traced rendering performance. For the first time NVDIA is introducing RT Cores into a low profile form factor GPU. A single RTX A2000 series board can render complex professional models with physically accurate shadows, reflections, and refractions to empower users with instant insight. Working in concert with applications leveraging APIs such as NVIDIA OptiX, Microsoft DXR and Vulk an ray tracing, systems based on RTX A2000 series GPUs will power truly interactive design workflows to provide immediate feedback for unprecedented levels of productivity. RTX A2000 series GPUs are up to 5X faster in ray tracing compared to the previous generation. This technology also speeds up the rendering of ray-traced motion blur for faster results with greater visual accuracy.
Error Correcting Code (ECC)
Meet strict data integrity requirements for mission critical applications with uncompromised computing accuracy and reliability for workstations.
Graphics Preemption
Pixel-level preemption provides more granular control to better support time-sensitive tasks such as VR motion tracking.
Compute Preemption
Preemption at the instruction-level provides finer grain control over compute and graphics tasks to prevent longer-running applications from either monopolizing system resources or timing out.
7th Generation NVENC Enginei
NVENC can take on the most demanding 4K or 8K video encoding tasks to free up the graphics engine and the CPU for other operations. The RTX A2000 series GPUs provides better encoding quality than software-based x264 encoders.
DisplayPort 1.4a
Support up to four 5K monitors @ 60Hz, or dual 8K displays @ 60Hz per card. RTX A2000 series GPUs support HDR color for 4K @ 60Hz for 10/12b HEVC decode and up to 4K @ 60Hz for 10b HEVC encode. Each DisplayPort connector can drive ultra-high resolutions of 4096x2160 @ 120 Hz with 30-bit color.
