NVIDIA L4 Tensor Core GPU

The breakthrough universal accelerator for efficient video, AI, and graphics.

Accelerate Video, AI, and Graphics Workloads

The NVIDIA L4 Tensor Core GPU powered by the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture delivers universal, energy-efficient acceleration for video, AI, visual computing, graphics, virtualization, and more. Packaged in a low-profile form factor, L4 is a cost-effective, energy-efficient solution for high throughput and low latency in every server, from the edge to the data center to the cloud.

Experience Real-Time AI Video Pipeline Performance
Transform video applications with the power of NVIDIA L4. Whether streaming live to millions of viewers, enabling users to build creative stories, or delivering immersive augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) experiences, servers equipped with L4 allow hosting up to 1,040 concurrent AV1 video streams at 720p30 for mobile users.¹

Consume Less Energy and Space With L4
As AI and video become more pervasive, the demand for efficient, cost effective computing is increasing more than ever. NVIDIA L4 Tensor Core GPUs deliver up to 120X better AI video performance, resulting in up to 99 percent better energy efficiency and lower total cost of ownership compared to traditional CPU-based infrastructure. This lets enterprises reduce rack space and significantly lower their carbon footprint, while being able to scale their data centers to many more users. The energy saved by switching from CPUs to NVIDIA L4s in a 2 megawatt (MW) data center can power nearly 2,000 homes for one year or match the carbon offset from 172,000 trees grown over 10 years.²

Accelerate Generative AI Performance

Generative AI for images and text makes customer lives more convenient and experiences more immersive across all industries. NVIDIA L4 supercharges compute-intensive generative AI inference by delivering up to 2.5X higher performance compared to the previous GPU generation. And with 50 percent more memory capacity, L4 enables larger image generation, up to 1024x768, which wasn’t possible on the previous GPU generation.

With fourth-generation Tensor Cores and 1.5X larger GPU memory, NVIDIA L4 GPUs paired with the CV-CUDA® library take video content-understanding to a new level. L4 delivers 120X higher AI video performance than CPU-based solutions, letting enterprises gain real-time insights to personalize content, improve search relevance, detect objectionable content, and implement smart-space solutions.

Optimize Graphics Performance

With third-generation RT Cores and AI-powered NVIDIA Deep Learning Super Sampling 3 (DLSS 3), NVIDIA L4 delivers over 4X higher performance for AI-based avatars, NVIDIA Omniverse™ virtual worlds, cloud gaming, and virtual workstations. These capabilities enable creators to build real-time, cinematic-quality graphics and scenes for immersive visual experiences not possible with CPUs.

Accelerate Workloads Efficiently and Sustainably
NVIDIA L4 is an integral part of the NVIDIA data center platform. Built for video, AI, NVIDIA RTX™ virtual workstation (vWS), graphics, simulation, data science, and data analytics, the platform accelerates over 3,000 applications and is available everywhere at scale, from data center to edge to cloud, delivering both dramatic performance gains and energy-efficiency opportunities.

Streamline Development and Deployment With Enterprise-Ready AI Software
Optimized to streamline AI development and deployment, the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software suite includes AI solution workflows, frameworks, pretrained models, and infrastructure optimization that are certified to run on common data center platforms and mainstream NVIDIA-Certified Systems™ with NVIDIA L4 GPUs.

NVIDIA AI Enterprise is a license addition for NVIDIA L4 GPUs, making AI accessible to nearly every organization with the highest performance in training, inference, and data science. NVIDIA AI Enterprise, together with NVIDIA L4, simplifies the building of an AI-ready platform, accelerates AI development and deployment, and delivers performance, security, and scalability to gather insights faster and achieve business value sooner.


Optimized for mainstream deployments, L4 delivers a low-profile form factor operating in a 72W low-power envelope, making it an efficient, cost-effective solution for any server or cloud instance from NVIDIA’s partner ecosystem.

How to use

Install the card into an available PCIe x16 slot on a compatible motherboard and secure it in the chassis according to the server or workstation manufacturer instructions. Ensure the system BIOS and operating system have the latest NVIDIA drivers and CUDA/CV-CUDA libraries if required for AI or video-acceleration applications. For virtualization or cloud deployments, follow platform-specific guidelines to enable GPU passthrough or vGPU support.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, pair the Nvidia L4 with up-to-date NVIDIA drivers and the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software stack where applicable. Use adequate airflow in the chassis despite passive cooling, monitor GPU temperatures under sustained workloads, and select server motherboards that support low-profile GPUs and PCIe 4.0 to maximize throughput.
