- Documentation
Features
The ThinkSystem NVIDIA RTX A6000 48GB PCIe Active GPU offers the following features:
- 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 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.
- 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 photo-realistic 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- PCI Express Gen 4.0
NVIDIA Ampere architecture-based GPUs support 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.

NVIDIA GPU software
This section lists the NVIDIA software that is available from Lenovo.
NVIDIA vGPU Software (vApps, vPC, RTX vWS)
Lenovo offers the following virtualization software for NVIDIA GPUs:
- Virtual Applications (vApps)
For organizations deploying Citrix XenApp, VMware Horizon RDSH or other RDSH solutions. Designed to deliver PC Windows applications at full performance. NVIDIA Virtual Applications allows users to access any Windows application at full performance on any device, anywhere. This edition is suited for users who would like to virtualize applications using XenApp or other RDSH solutions. Windows Server hosted RDSH desktops are also supported by vApps.
- Virtual PC (vPC)
This product is ideal for users who want a virtual desktop but need great user experience leveraging PC Windows® applications, browsers and high-definition video. NVIDIA Virtual PC delivers a native experience to users in a virtual environment, allowing them to run all their PC applications at full performance.
- NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstation (RTX vWS)
NVIDIA RTX vWS is the only virtual workstation that supports NVIDIA RTX technology, bringing advanced features like ray tracing, AI-denoising, and Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) to a virtual environment. Supporting the latest generation of NVIDIA GPUs unlocks the best performance possible, so designers and engineers can create their best work faster. IT can virtualize any application from the data center with an experience that is indistinguishable from a physical workstation — enabling workstation performance from any device.
The following license types are offered:
- Perpetual license
A non-expiring, permanent software license that can be used on a perpetual basis without the need to renew. Each Lenovo part number includes a fixed number of years of Support, Upgrade and Maintenance (SUMS).
- Annual subscription
A software license that is active for a fixed period as defined by the terms of the subscription license, typically yearly. The subscription includes Support, Upgrade and Maintenance (SUMS) for the duration of the license term.
- Concurrent User (CCU)
A method of counting licenses based on active user VMs. If the VM is active and the NVIDIA vGPU software is running, then this counts as one CCU. A vGPU CCU is independent of the connection to the VM.
