PNY NVIDIA A2 16GB GDDR6 workstation Gold
Equipped with 16GB of ECC GDDR6 memory and 1280 CUDA cores on the Ampere architecture, this card delivers 18 TFLOPS of single-precision performance for always-on inference workloads. Its compact, low-profile design and 40-60W power envelope allow deployment in dense edge servers where standard GPUs cannot fit. This card is best for IT administrators running AI inference and light transcoding at the edge, not for gaming or high-end rendering.
