Groundbreaking Innovations
NVIDIA AMPERE
ARCHITECTURE
NVIDIA
®
RTX
™
technology
revolutionized professional visual
computing forever. The NVIDIA
Ampere architecture builds on
the power of RTX to significantly
enhance the performance of
rendering, graphics, AI, and
compute workloads. Engineered
to perfection and featuring
cutting-edge innovations, the
NVIDIA Ampere architecture
takes RTX to new heights for
professional workloads.
THIRD-GENERATION
NVLINK
Third-generation NVIDIA
NVLink
®
technology enables
users to connect two GPUs
together to share GPU
performance and memory. With
up to 112 gigabytes per second
(GB/s) of bidirectional bandwidth
and combined graphics memory
of up to 96 GB, professionals can
tackle the largest rendering,
AI, virtual reality, and visual
computing workloads. The new
NVLink connector also features
a shorter Z height, which
enables NVLink functionality in
a wider range of chassis.
THIRD-GENERATION
TENSOR CORES
New Tensor Float 32 (TF32)
precision provides up to 5X
the training throughput over
the previous generation to
accelerate AI and data science
model training without requiring
any code changes. Hardware
support for structural sparsity
doubles the throughput for
inferencing. Tensor Cores
also bring AI to graphics with
capabilities like DLSS, AI
denoising, and enhanced editing
for select applications.
NVIDIA AMPERE
ARCHITECTURE-BASED
CUDA CORES
The NVIDIA Ampere
architecture’s CUDA
®
cores
bring double-speed processing
for single-precision floating
point (FP32) operations and are
up to 2X more power efficient
than Turing GPUs. This provides
significant performance gains
for graphics workflows like
3D model development and
compute workflows like desktop
simulation for computer-aided
engineering (CAE).
SECOND-GENERATION
RT CORES
With up to 2X the throughput
over the previous generation
and the ability to concurrently
run ray tracing with either
shading or denoising
capabilities, second-generation
RT Cores deliver massive
speedups for workloads like
photorealistic rendering of
movie content and virtual
prototyping of product designs.
This technology also speeds
up the rendering of ray-traced
motion blur for faster results
with greater visual accuracy.
PCI EXPRESS GEN 4.0
NVIDIA Ampere architecture-
based GPUs support PCI
Express Gen 4.0 (PCIe Gen
4.0), which provides 2X the
bandwidth of PCIe Gen 3.0.
This improves data transfer
speeds from CPU memory for
data-intensive tasks such as AI
and data science. Faster PCIe
performance also accelerates
GPU direct memory access
(DMA) transfers, enabling
faster video data transfers from
GPUDirect
®
for video-enabled
devices and faster input/output
(I/O) with GPUDirect Storage.
