Dell CHTG8 Nvidia 48GB Graphics Card

The Dell CHTG8 Nvidia RTX A6000, built upon the groundbreaking Nvidia Ampere architecture, represents a monumental leap in professional visualization, data science, and AI development. This graphics card is engineered not for gaming, but for the most demanding professional workloads where precision, computational power, and massive memory are paramount. With 48 GB of next-generation GDDR6 memory with error correction code (ECC), it empowers professionals to tackle datasets and models of unprecedented scale, directly in the GPU's memory, eliminating performance bottlenecks associated with system RAM swapping.

Streaming Multiprocessors (SM)

The Ampere SM features dedicated hardware for parallel floating-point and integer operations, dramatically improving execution throughput for modern workloads. This allows the A6000 to handle complex simulations, AI inference, and ray tracing calculations with remarkable efficiency.

Second-Generation RT Cores

For professionals in design and visualization, the RTX A6000 includes enhanced RT Cores, delivering up to 2x the throughput of the previous generation. This enables real-time ray tracing for photorealistic rendering, with accurate shadows, reflections, and global illumination, drastically reducing the time required for final-frame rendering in applications like Nvidia Omniverse, Autodesk Arnold, and Chaos V-Ray.

Third-Generation Tensor Cores

The A6000 is equipped with new Tensor Cores that accelerate AI-powered workflows. This includes AI-denoisers for cleaner renders, DLSS for boosting viewport performance in supported professional applications, and the computational muscle needed for training and deploying deep learning models. Features like sparsity leverage adaptive AI algorithms to double the throughput on key AI tasks.

Unprecedented Memory 

A defining characteristic of the CHTG8 RTX A6000 is its monumental 48 GB of GPU memory. This is not just a large quantity; it is a high-performance, ECC-protected memory pool designed for mission-critical accuracy.

48GB GDDR6 with ECC

The CHTG8 48 GB capacity allows users to load massive datasets, complex 3D models, and enormous AI training batches directly into VRAM. This is crucial for applications in computational fluid dynamics, finite element analysis, and deep learning, where out-of-memory errors can halt progress for days. The inclusion of ECC (Error Correcting Code) ensures data integrity by automatically detecting and correcting single-bit memory errors, a non-negotiable feature for scientific computing and prolonged, unattended rendering jobs where a single error can corrupt an entire simulation or render.

384-bit Memory Interface

To feed the 10,752 CUDA cores and other processing units, the A6000 employs a wide 384-bit memory interface. This broad pathway is essential for transferring vast amounts of data between the GPU cores and the memory, preventing the processing units from sitting idle while waiting for data.

768 GB/s Memory Bandwidth

The combination of high-speed GDDR6 memory and the 384-bit interface results in a staggering 768 GB/s of memory bandwidth. This immense bandwidth ensures that even when the GPU is processing terabytes of data, the flow of information remains smooth and uninterrupted, maximizing computational efficiency and minimizing latency.

Computational Powerhouse: CUDA Cores and Beyond

With 10,752 CUDA cores, the RTX A6000 offers a massive parallel processing platform. These cores are the workhorses of the GPU, handling the vast majority of computational tasks.

10,752 CUDA Cores

This vast array of cores allows for extreme parallelism, making the A6000 exceptionally well-suited for tasks that can be broken down into thousands of smaller, simultaneous calculations. Applications ranging from video editing and color grading to complex scientific simulations see dramatic performance scaling with this level of parallel processing power.

FP32 and FP64 Performance

The Ampere architecture introduced a concurrent execution of FP32 (single-precision) and INT32 operations, effectively doubling the FP32 throughput compared to Turing. While the A6000 is optimized for FP32 performance, which is standard for most graphics and AI workloads, it also provides capable FP64 (double-precision) performance for scientific and engineering applications requiring the highest numerical accuracy.

Single-Precision (FP32) Compute Performance

The card delivers exceptional FP32 performance, which is the bedrock for real-time graphics, rendering, and AI. This makes it ideal for visualization and creative applications.

Double-Precision (FP64) Compute Performance

For computational finance, CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering), and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), the A6000 provides the necessary FP64 horsepower to run complex, accuracy-dependent simulations reliably.

Professional Visualization and Ray Tracing

The CHTG8 RTX A6000 is built to create, not just compute. Its visualization capabilities are second to none in the professional single-GPU space.

Nvidia RTX Professional Drivers

The card is certified with Nvidia RTX Enterprise Drivers. These are not the same as GeForce drivers; they are rigorously tested for top performance, stability, and reliability in over 100 professional applications from vendors like Adobe, Autodesk, Dassault Systèmes, and Siemens. This certification ensures that applications will run without glitches or crashes during critical work.

Real-Time Ray Tracing and Rendering

The second-generation RT Cores allow designers and artists to interact with ray-traced scenes in real-time within their viewports, providing immediate visual feedback. For final-frame rendering, the A6000 can significantly reduce the time to produce photorealistic images and animations compared to CPU-based rendering farms.

Nvidia Omniverse Enterprise

The RTX A6000 is a cornerstone GPU for Nvidia Omniverse, the platform for 3D design collaboration and real-time simulation. The 48 GB of memory allows multiple users to collaborate on massive, detailed models simultaneously, with real-time photorealistic rendering.

Multi-GPU Scalability and Workstation Integration

The RTX A6000 is designed to work in concert, scaling performance for the most extreme workloads.

NVLink Bridge Technology

Two RTX A6000 cards can be connected via an NVLink bridge, creating a unified 96 GB memory pool. This is a critical feature for workloads that exceed the 48 GB of a single card. In this configuration, applications see both GPUs as a single device with a combined memory capacity, enabling tasks that were previously impossible on a workstation, such as rendering exceptionally complex scenes or training state-of-the-art large language models.

Dual-Slot

The CHTG8 A6000 features a robust dual-slot thermal solution that is designed for optimal performance in well-ventilated workstation and server chassis. The passive cooling (reliant on system fans) allows for dense multi-GPU configurations, as there are no open-fan designs that can recirculate hot air. This makes it ideal for rack-mounted workstations and data center environments.

Form Factor and Power Requirements

With a standard dual-slot, full-height, and 10.5-inch length form factor, the A6000 is compatible with a wide range of professional workstations. It is powered by a single 8-pin EPS connector (not PCIe), drawing up to 300W of power, and requires a high-quality power supply unit to ensure stable operation under full load.
