NVIDIA RTX A4500 Graphics Card 20GB GDDR6

The RTX A4500 is a professional graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on November 23rd, 2021. Built on the 8 nm process, and based on the GA102 graphics processor, the card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate. The GA102 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 628 mm² and 28,300 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, which uses the same GPU but has all 10752 shaders enabled, NVIDIA has disabled some shading units on the RTX A4500 to reach the product’s target shader count. It features 7168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs. Also included are 224 tensor cores which help improve the speed of machine learning applications. The card also has 56 raytracing acceleration cores. NVIDIA has paired 20 GB GDDR6 memory with the RTX A4500, which are connected using a 320-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1050 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1650 MHz, memory is running at 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective).

Being a dual-slot card, the NVIDIA RTX A4500 draws power from 1x 8-pin power connector, with power draw rated at 200 W maximum. Display outputs include: 4x DisplayPort 1.4a. RTX A4500 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 4.0 x16 interface. The card measures 267 mm in length, 112 mm in width, and features a dual-slot cooling solution.
