Advantech SKY-QUAD-4500A-24 NVIDIA RTX 4500 Ada 24GB Dual-Slot Workstation Graphics Card with ECC Memory

A mid-range Ada card often suits design and visualisation teams whose models fit in 24 GB and whose computers run PCIe 4.0. The SKY-QUAD-4500A-24 is the NVIDIA RTX 4500 Ada from Advantech, a workstation graphics card with 24 GB of GDDR6 and ECC at a 210 W maximum. Advantech lists the RTX Ada family for rendering, AI, graphics and compute, with professional application certification from independent software vendors.

The Ada Lovelace GPU has 7,680 CUDA cores, 240 fourth-generation Tensor Cores and 60 third-generation RT Cores, with single-precision performance rated at 39.6 TFLOPS. Memory runs on a 320-bit interface at 432 GB/s, and ECC protects long jobs from memory errors. Family features include AV1 encode and decode, NVIDIA GPUDirect RDMA support for moving data directly between network adapters and the GPU, and NVIDIA Mosaic for presenting several screens as one desktop.

The SKY-QUAD-4500A-24 connects over PCI Express 4.0 x16 and has four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, driving four 4096 x 2160 displays at 120 Hz, four at 5120 x 2880 at 60 Hz or two 7680 x 4320 displays at 60 Hz. It supports DirectX 12, Shader Model 6.6, OpenGL and Vulkan 1.3, with CUDA, DirectCompute and OpenCL. Power comes through one PCIe CEM5 16-pin connector, with a 2x PCIe 8-pin adapter cable included. Active cooling sits on a dual-slot, full-height card.

We supply each card tested, and we fit, configure and burn-in test the SKY-QUAD-4500A-24 in the GPU computers and servers we build. The SKY-QUAD-5000A-32 adds memory and cores at 250 W, the SKY-QUAD-4000A-20 fits 20 GB on a single-slot card at 130 W, and the SKY-QUAD-4500B-32 is the Blackwell generation RTX PRO 4500 with 32 GB.
