NVIDIA A16 is a PCI Express Gen4 graphics processing unit (GPU) card that is ideal for providing high-user density for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environments. It is a full height, full length (FHFL) design with four GPUs on a single board. The A16 is a dual-slot card featuring 64 GB of GDDR6 memory and a 250 W maximum power limit. The A16 also supports x16 PCIe Gen4 connectivity. It is a passively cooled card with a superior thermal design that requires system airflow to operate and handles challenging ambient environments with ease (NEBS-3 capable).
Powered by NVIDIA Ampere architecture, the NVIDIA A16 provides the highest encoder throughput and frame buffer for the best user experience in a VDI environment using NVIDIA Virtual PC (vPC) software. Video transcoding and Android™ cloud gaming are among the other workloads that can take advantage of the multiple encoders and decoders on the A16 GPU. The quad GPU design enables the highest frame buffer, encoder, and decoder density in a dual-slot form factor for VDI use cases.
