NVIDIA A16 64GB GDDR6 Data Center GPU – Virtual Desktop & Workstation Accelerator

The NVIDIA A16 takes remote work to the next level. Combined with NVIDIA Virtual PC (vPC) or NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstation (vWS) software, it powers graphics-rich virtual desktops and virtual workstations with the performance to tackle any project from anywhere. Purpose-built for high-density, graphics-rich Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) on the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, the A16 delivers double the user density of the previous generation while ensuring an excellent end-user experience.

Key Features

• Designed for Accelerated VDI – Optimized for user density with NVIDIA vPC software for graphics-rich virtual PCs accessible from anywhere.
• Affordable Virtual Workstations – Large framebuffer per user for entry-level virtual workstations running CAD and similar workloads via NVIDIA RTX vWS.
• Flexible Multi-User Support – Unique quad-GPU board design enables mixed user profile sizes and types on a single board.
• Superior User Experience – Higher frame rates and lower latency than CPU-only VDI for a native-PC-like experience.
• Double the User Density – Supports up to 64 concurrent users per board in a dual-slot form factor.
• High-Resolution Display Support – Up to two 4K monitors or a single 5K display per user.
• 2x+ Encoder Throughput – More than double the encoder performance of the previous-generation M10 for smooth multi-user video streaming.
• Latest Codec Support – H.265 encode/decode, VP9, and AV1 decode for the highest quality video experience.
• PCI Express Gen 4 – Fast data-transfer speeds from CPU memory for data-intensive tasks.
