Nvidia introduces RTX A5500 for desktops and laptops

Nvidia announces the RTX A5500 for both desktops and laptops. The video card is based on the Ampere architecture and equipped with a GA102 GPU. In addition, the manufacturer announces a laptop version with the GA103 GPU.

The Nvidia RTX A5500 shares many features with the RTX 3080 Ti; the video card has 10,240 CUDA cores, 320 Tensor cores and 80 RT cores. However, the RTX A5500 is equipped with 24GB GDDR6 memory and a 384bit memory bus, for a memory bandwidth of 768GB/s. The current RTX 3080 Ti has faster 12GB GDDR6X memory with a higher bandwidth of 912.4GB/s.

The A5500 also has a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface and four DisplayPort 1.4a connections. The video card thus supports four monitors with a resolution of up to 4096×2160 pixels at 120Hz or 5120×2880 pixels at 60Hz. Users can also simultaneously control two monitors with a resolution of 7680×4320 pixels at 60Hz. In addition, it is possible to connect two video cards via NVLink, something that the RTX 3080 Ti lacks.

In addition to the RTX A5500 for desktops, Nvidia is introducing six new laptop GPUs. The company introduces, among other things, a less powerful mobile version of the RTX A5500, with 7424 CUDA cores and 16GB GDDR6 memory. The least powerful of the six new cards is the RTX A500, with 2048 CUDA cores and 4GB of vram.
