The video card is an essential computer Workstation component that you should carefully consider when building your computer Workstation. Without a graphics card, your homebuilt computer cannot display images and pictures. Many mid-range graphics cards are built...
In 2018, NVIDIA, Turing GPU Architecture ushered in the future of 3D graphics and GPU-accelerated computing. Turing provided major advances in efficiency and performance for PC gaming, professional graphics applications, and deep learning inferencing. Using new hardware-based accelerators, Turing fused rasterization, real-time ray tracing, AI, and simulation to enable incredible realism in PC games and cinematic-quality interactive experiences.
In 2020, the NVIDIA Ampere architecture incorporated more powerful RT Cores and Tensor Cores, along with a novel SM structure that offered 2x FP32 performance, clock-for-clock, compared to Turing GPUs. These innovations allowed the Ampere architecture to run up to 1.7x faster than Turing in traditional raster graphics, and up to 2x faster in ray tracing.
The new NVIDIA Ada Lovelace GPU architecture, named after mathematician Ada Lovelace, often regarded as the world’s first computer programmer1, raises the bar far above Turing and Ampere GPUs. While improvements in the silicon manufacturing process have slowed, modern computer graphics have seen an exponential rise in complexity. Increases in geometric complexity and innovations in lighting have resulted in graphics that look more lifelike than ever before.
Battlefield V was the first title to take advantage of NVIDIA’s hybrid rendering ray tracing approach, requiring 39 ray tracing operations per pixel to calculate the lighting effects in a typical scene.
Four years later, Cyberpunk 2077 running with its new RT: Overdrive Mode pushes over 600 ray tracing calculations per pixel. To generate environments with this level of complexity at high frame rates, Ada is up to 2x faster in rasterized games, and up to 4x faster in ray-traced games than the prior NVIDIA Ampere GPU architecture.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is the first GeForce graphics card based on the new Ada architecture. At the heart of the GeForce RTX 4090 is the AD102 GPU, which is the most powerful GPU based on the NVIDIA Ada architecture. AD102 has been designed to deliver revolutionary performance for gamers and creators and enables the RTX 4090 to consistently deliver frame rates over 100 frames per second at 4K resolution in many games.
For the datacenter, the new NVIDIA L40 GPU based on the Ada architecture delivers unprecedented visual computing performance. Compared to the previous generation NVIDIA A40 GPU, NVIDIA L40 delivers 2X the raw FP32 compute performance, almost 3X the rendering performance, and up to 724 TFLOPs2 of Tensor operation performance at the same 300W power envelope.
NVIDIA L40 is the ideal GPU for servers running applications such as NVIDIA Omniverse, Generative AI, autonomous vehicle drive simulations, FP32 high performance computing (HPC), virtual workstations, cloud gaming, and single GPU AI training and inferencing. NVIDIA Certified Systems with L40 are optimized to deliver Omniverse at scale, such as the reference NVIDIA OVX system that include eight L40 GPUs that can be scaled up to deliver RTX-enabled digital twin renderings. The new NVIDIA L40 delivers this impressive performance speedup at the same 300W TDP and physical profile of the previous generation NVIDIA A40 GPU.
Finally, the Ada based NVIDIA L4 is designed to be the best low power universal GPU for AI, Graphics and Video workloads in the datacenter. Compact and versatile, the low-profile, singleslot, 72W L4 GPU fits in any server, making it ideal for global deployments all the way from regional datacenters out to the edge, including outdoor locations. NVIDIA L4 is the perfect choice for wide variety of applications such AI powered video services, Speech AI (ASR+NLP+TTS), small model Generative AI, search & recommenders, cloud gaming, and virtual Workstations, among many others.
Sporting a modified AD102 GPU, the RTX 5880 ADA is equipped with 14,080 CUDA cores, reflecting a strategic 22% decrease from its RTX 6000 ADA counterpart. This adjustment also sees the Tensor core count drop from 568 to 440, leading to a 24% dip in single-precision compute performance relative to the RTX 6000.
