PNY NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition - 32 GB GDDR7 ECC - PCIe 5.0 x16 - Passive Cooling - 4x DisplayPort 1.4a

The PNY NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition is a high-density, passively cooled professional GPU engineered for rack-mounted server environments. With 32 GB of ECC GDDR7 memory on a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, it delivers enterprise-grade compute and visualisation capabilities for AI inference, machine learning, high-performance computing (HPC), and GPU-accelerated server workloads where acoustic silence and thermal management by server airflow are required.

Advantages

The passive heatsink design eliminates fan noise and removes the most common failure point in a GPU cooling solution, making the RTX PRO 4500 SE ideal for dense server racks where forced server airflow handles all thermal dissipation. Thirty-two gigabytes of GDDR7 memory with ECC provides ample capacity for large AI models, scientific datasets and GPU-accelerated database workloads while protecting computation integrity through hardware error correction. The NVIDIA Blackwell GPU architecture brings improved FP8/FP16/FP32 throughput, ray-tracing cores and tensor cores for mixed-precision AI inference alongside professional visualisation via NVIDIA vGPU virtualisation. Four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs allow connection of up to four 8K displays for GPU-assisted visualisation deployments.

Suitable for

• AI inference and machine learning workloads on rack servers
• High-performance computing (HPC), scientific simulation and data analytics
• GPU virtualisation deployments using NVIDIA vGPU for VDI and cloud desktop
• Professional 3D visualisation, rendering and remote graphics in server environments

How to use

Install the RTX PRO 4500 Server Edition into a full-height PCIe 5.0 x16 slot in a compatible rack server with sufficient forced-air cooling capacity — the passive heatsink depends entirely on chassis airflow for thermal management. Connect power, boot the server and install the latest NVIDIA RTX Enterprise driver or data centre driver package. For GPU virtualisation deployments, configure NVIDIA vGPU licences through the NVIDIA vGPU Software Licence Server and assign virtual GPU instances to VMs or containers as needed.

Recommendations

Always verify that the server chassis provides the manufacturer-specified minimum airflow (CFM) for passive GPU operation before deployment — insufficient airflow will trigger thermal throttling or hardware protection shutdowns. Pair with a PCIe 5.0 host platform (Intel Xeon or AMD EPYC Gen 4+) to maximise memory bandwidth and transfer throughput between CPU and GPU.
