Video Card NVIDIA L40S Passive PCIe 48GB GDDR6

The NVIDIA L40S Passive PCIe 48GB GDDR6 is a professional-class video card designed for compute- and data-intensive workloads. Built on NVIDIA architecture and equipped with 48GB of GDDR6 memory, this passive-cooled PCIe card provides large memory capacity and high memory bandwidth to support AI training, inference, visualization, and large model workflows. Its fanless design reduces operational noise and simplifies integration into systems where active cooling or low acoustic profile is required.

Advantages

The passive cooling design enables silent operation and reduces moving parts that can fail, making the card suitable for racks and workstations with centralized cooling. A 48GB GDDR6 frame buffer offers ample capacity for large datasets, high-resolution visualizations, and multi-model workloads. PCI Express interface ensures compatibility with standard server and workstation slots while providing sufficient throughput for graphics and compute tasks. The card supports advanced graphics and compute APIs for broad software compatibility.

Suitable for

• AI training and inference workloads that benefit from large memory capacity
• Deep learning research and development with large datasets and models
• Data science, simulation, and high-resolution visualization tasks
• Silent workstations and noise-sensitive server rooms

Key specifications

• Memory: 48GB GDDR6 for large model and dataset handling
• Cooling: Passive (fanless) design for silent operation
• Interface: PCI Express x16 form factor compatibility
• Primary use: Compute and graphics acceleration for AI, deep learning, and visualization
• Form factor: Low-profile/full-height compatibility depending on system bracket configuration

How to use

Install the card into an available PCIe x16 slot on a compatible server or workstation following standard electrostatic discharge precautions. Ensure the system chassis and airflow design can dissipate heat from a passive device—place the card in a chassis with adequate external or chassis-level airflow. Install the appropriate NVIDIA drivers and software stack to enable compute and graphics features, and configure system BIOS and operating system settings as required for high-performance workloads.

Recommendations

Use this passive NVIDIA L40S card in systems with reliable chassis cooling or data center cooling solutions; avoid enclosed, poorly ventilated cases. Pair with validated server platforms and up-to-date driver and software stacks to ensure compatibility with AI frameworks and visualization applications.
