FAQ
What is the memory capacity and technology of this graphic card?
This HPE NVIDIA A2 Graphic Card features 16 GB of GDDR6 memory. GDDR6 is a high-speed graphics memory technology that delivers a maximum bandwidth of 200 GB/s, providing fast data access for graphics-intensive and compute workloads. The 16 GB capacity supports demanding applications such as AI inference, 3D rendering, and scientific visualization.
What interface does this graphic card use?
The card utilizes a PCI Express 5.0 host interface. PCI Express 5.0 doubles the bandwidth of PCIe 4.0, providing up to 32 GT/s per lane. This high-speed interface ensures minimal data transfer bottlenecks between the graphic card and the system, which is particularly important for data-intensive workloads like machine learning and high-resolution visualization.
What does 'low-profile' mean for this graphic card?
Low-profile refers to the card's reduced height of 1.37 inches (34.80 mm), which is approximately half the height of standard full-height graphic cards. This compact form factor allows installation in space-constrained environments such as 1U and 2U server racks, small form factor workstations, and compact edge computing devices where standard cards would not fit.
What is NVLink technology and how does it benefit this card?
NVLink is NVIDIA's high-speed interconnect technology that enables direct communication between multiple GPUs. When supported by the system and software, NVLink allows this A2 graphic card to work in tandem with additional NVIDIA GPUs, sharing memory and computational resources. This technology improves performance for scalable workloads like deep learning training and large-scale simulations by reducing communication latency between GPUs.
