Performance Rating
The PG506-242 is a professional graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on April 12th, 2021. Built on the 7 nm process, and based on the GA100 graphics processor, the card does not support DirectX. Since PG506-242 does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The GA100 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 826 mm² and 54,200 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked DRIVE A100 PROD, which uses the same GPU but has all 6912 shaders enabled, NVIDIA has disabled some shading units on the PG506-242 to reach the product's target shader count. It features 3584 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs. Also included are 224 tensor cores which help improve the speed of machine learning applications. NVIDIA has paired 24 GB HBM2 memory with the PG506-242, which are connected using a 3072-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 930 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1440 MHz, memory is running at 1215 MHz.
