NVIDIA has expanded its RTX professional graphics offerings with the NVIDIA RTX A400 and NVIDIA RTX A1000 (above) that aim to democratise access to AI and ray-tracing technology, providing professionals with the necessary tools to revolutionise their daily workflows.
With its 24 Tensor Cores dedicated to AI processing, the RTX A400 outperforms traditional CPU-based solutions, allowing professionals to operate state-of-the-art AI applications, such as intelligent chatbots and copilots, directly from their desktops.
Based on the Ampere architecture, it offers real-time ray tracing that lets creators construct vivid, physically accurate 3D renders that redefine the limits of creativity and realism. The RTX A400 is the first in its series to include four display outputs, making it suitable for high-density display environments essential for industries such as financial services, command and control, retail, and transportation.
The NVIDIA RTX A1000 GPU introduces Tensor Cores and RT Cores to the RTX 1000 series GPUs for the first time, unlocking accelerated AI and ray-tracing performance for creatives and professionals. Packed with 72 Tensor Cores, it represents a significant upgrade over its predecessor, offering more than thrice faster generative AI processing for tools such as Stable Diffusion. Its 18 RT Cores accelerate graphics and rendering tasks by up to three times, speeding up professional workflows such as 2D and 3D computer-aided design (CAD), product and architectural design, and 4K video editing.
The A1000 also excels in video processing, handling up to 38 percent more encode streams and offering twice faster decode performance over the previous generation.
With their sleek, single-slot design and low power consumption of just 50W, the A400 and A1000 GPUs bring impressive features to compact, energy-efficient workstations.
These latest GPUs provide users with AI, graphics, and computing capabilities that enhance productivity and unleash creative potential. With access to advanced workflows incorporating ray-traced rendering and AI, professionals can now explore new frontiers in their work to achieve new levels of realism.
Industrial planners can leverage these powerful and energy-efficient computing solutions for edge deployments. Creators can enhance editing and rendering speeds to produce richer visual content. Architects and engineers can seamlessly transition ideas from 3D CAD concepts into tangible designs.
Teams working in smart spaces can use the GPUs for real-time data processing, AI-enhanced security, and digital signage management in space-constrained settings. Healthcare professionals can achieve quicker, more precise medical imaging analyses.
Financial professionals, who have always relied on expansive, high-resolution visual workspaces for effective trading, analysis, and data management, can now achieve a high display density with fewer GPUs, thanks to the RTX A400 GPU’s support for up to four 4K displays. This streamlines their setups and reduces costs.
The NVIDIA RTX A1000 GPU is now available through NVIDIA partners such as PNY and Ryoyo Electric. The RTX A400 GPU is expected to be available from channel partners in May, with anticipated availability from manufacturers in the summer.
