NVIDIA RTX A2000

NVIDIA RTX A2000 12 GB brings the power of RTX to more professionals with a powerful low-profile, dual-slot GPU design, delivering real-time ray tracing, AI-accelerated compute, and high-performance graphics to your desktop. The VR ready RTX A2000 12GB combines 26 second-generation RT Cores, 104 third-generation Tensor Cores, and 3,328 next-generation CUDA Cores and 12 GB of GDDR6 graphics memory with error correction code (ECC) support, another industry first in this segment. Design bigger, render faster, work better, at previously unheard of price points with the NVIDIA RTX A2000 12 GB.

NVIDIA RTX A2000 12 GB is 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.

Incorporating second 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 12GB 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 Vulkan ray tracing, systems based on the RTX A2000 12GB will power truly interactive design workflows to provide immediate feedback for unprecedented levels of productivity. The RTX A2000 12GB is more than 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.

Purpose-built for deep learning matrix arithmetic at the heart of neural network training and inferencing functions, the RTX A2000 12GB includes enhanced Tensor Cores that accelerate more datatypes and includes a new Fine-Grained Structured Sparsity feature that delivers more than 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.

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.

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 12 GB provides better encoding quality than software-based x264 encoders.

Preemption at the instruction-level provides finer grain control over compute tasks to prevent long-running applications from either monopolizing system resources or timing out.

Support up to four 5K monitors at 60Hz, or dual 8K displays at 60Hz per card. The RTX A2000 12GB supports HDR color for 4K at 60Hz for 10/12b HEVC decode and up to 4K at 60Hz for 10b HEVC encode. Each DisplayPort connector can drive ultra-high resolutions of 4096 x 2160 at 120 Hz with 30-bit color.
