NVIDIA L40 48GB Ada Lovelace Data Center GPU

Four data center workloads: data center graphics and rendering (including NVIDIA Omniverse), virtual workstations and VDI through NVIDIA vGPU software, AI inference, and graphics-rich mixed workloads. Its 48GB of memory holds large rendering scenes, multiple virtual-workstation sessions, or substantial inference models. It is, in effect, the data center counterpart to the RTX 6000 Ada workstation card.

No, and any listing suggesting so is misleading. The L40 is a passively cooled, headless data center card built to run on server airflow, not a desktop gaming card. Its role is to be deployed in servers, serving rendering, virtual workstations, and inference. The "gaming" framing some listings carry should be disregarded; this is data center hardware.

It does real AI inference, but large-model training at scale belongs to the Hopper and Blackwell systems in this catalog, which carry HBM and data center NVLink fabric the L40 does not. The L40's AI role is inference, serving trained models, alongside its primary strengths in data center graphics, rendering, and virtualization. For training, the flagship systems fit.

They share the Ada Lovelace data center platform and 48GB, but are tuned differently. The L40 leans toward data center graphics, rendering, Omniverse, and virtual workstations, with strong inference. The L40S is tuned for higher AI compute throughput, positioned more for inference and AI workloads. If your priority is graphics, rendering, and virtualization, the L40 fits; if it is maximum inference throughput on this platform, consider the L40S. MillionMiner will match the right one to your workload.

It is the L40's defining capacity. 48GB of GDDR6 with ECC holds large rendering and Omniverse scenes, backs multiple concurrent virtual-workstation sessions, and accommodates substantial inference and graphics models, work that smaller-memory cards cannot hold. ECC adds the data integrity data center and professional workloads require. The large memory is central to why the L40 suits data center graphics and virtualization.

Through NVIDIA vGPU software, the L40 delivers high-end accelerated virtual workstations to many users from the data center, consolidating professional graphics that would otherwise need local workstations. Its 48GB and Ada Lovelace graphics make it well-suited to demanding virtual-workstation and VDI deployments, and MillionMiner can advise on the vGPU configuration in the quote.

NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture on a 4nm process, 48GB of GDDR6 with ECC, with Ada Lovelace RT and Tensor cores, in a passively cooled, full-height, dual-slot data center form. Note it is a headless data center card. MillionMiner confirms the full configuration, including CUDA, RT, and Tensor core counts, memory bandwidth, and power, in the quote.

Different roles. The A10 is a lighter single-slot inference and VDI card; the A30 is an inference-and-HPC card with HBM2 and FP64; the L40 is the large-memory (48GB) Ada Lovelace card for data center graphics, rendering, virtualization, and inference. The Hopper and Blackwell systems are the training flagships above all of them. MillionMiner matches the card to the workload.

As an Ada Lovelace data center part, units may be new or secondary-market depending on availability. MillionMiner verifies each card and confirms its condition in the quote, the same discipline applied across the catalog's data center inventory. The exact condition is stated before you order.

Submit your workload, rendering, virtual workstations, inference, or graphics, and scale through the quote form. A MillionMiner specialist confirms the card, its condition, the deployment and any vGPU configuration, and delivery, and will help resolve the L40-versus-L40S choice if relevant. Every unit is tested before shipment and shipped worldwide DDP with duties handled, with hosting in MillionMiner's own data centers available.
