Form factor & compatibility
Information on RTX A5000 Max-Q's compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.
Interface | PCIe 4.0 x16 | |
Supplementary power connectors | None |
VRAM capacity and type
Parameters of memory installed on RTX A5000 Max-Q: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM instead.
Memory type | GDDR6 | |
Maximum RAM amount | 16 GB | of 192 (Radeon Instinct MI300X) |
Memory bus width | 256 Bit | of 8192 (Radeon Instinct MI250X) |
