Specialist hardware makerPNYhas released a newgraphics cardbased on theNvidiaRTX A6000 that lends itself to various high-performance creative and scientific computing environments.
Based on the Ampere architecture, the card is armed with a whopping 48GB GDDR6memorywith ECC and a memory bandwidth of 768 GB/s.
PNY says that theNvidiaRTX A6000 is equipped with real-time ray tracing and rendering, accelerated artificial intelligence (AI), and photorealistic VR to deliver “unmatched” quality and performance to designers and engineers.
Performance powerhouse
The PCIe 4.0 x16 card has 336 Tensor cores and 84 RT cores, which makes it ideal for all kinds of deep learning use cases.
With over 10,000 CUDA parallel processing cores, the card is especially useful for working with Nvidia’s CUDA parallel computing platform libraries such as CUDA Deep Neural Network (cuDNN), cuBLAS, TensorRT, and more.
It’s equipped with a 3rd generation NVLink connector for multi-GPU setups to help create large video walls, support multiple8K monitors, or even createimmersive VRexperiences.
The card can ferry large data sets much easily which leads PNY to suggest that the Nvidia RTX A6000 is ideal for working with AI frameworks such as Tensorflow, Caffee2, MXNet, and others.
