PNY Tesla P40 24GB GDDR5 Passive workstation graphics card

Built for inference workloads

The PNY Tesla P40 is a workstation graphics card designed for deep-learning inference and high-performance compute. It provides 24GB of GDDR5 memory and 3840 CUDA cores on a PCI Express x16 3.0 interface. The passive cooler means the card relies on forced airflow from the server chassis rather than an onboard fan.

Sustained throughput with passive cooling

A 250 W typical power draw is dissipated across a two-slot heatsink that occupies 111.2 mm of height and 267.7 mm of depth. Memory bandwidth reaches 346 GBs across a 384-bit bus, feeding the 3840 CUDA cores during long inference runs. Double-precision peak performance is rated at 12000 Gflops, and the card draws supplementary power through a single 8-pin connector.

Replaces older compute modules needing more VRAM

The 24GB frame buffer lets you move up from cards limited to 12GB or 16GB, keeping larger models resident without host-memory paging. The jump is worth it when batch size or model footprint exceeds the capacity of your current accelerator. Buyers who need active cooling or display outputs should look elsewhere, as this is a headless, passively cooled compute card.
