Built for inference workloads

The PNY Tesla P40 is a workstation graphics card designed for deep-learning inference and high-performance compute. It provides 24GB of GDDR5 memory and 3840 CUDA cores on a PCI Express x16 3.0 interface. The passive cooler means the card relies on forced airflow from the server chassis rather than an onboard fan.

Sustained throughput with passive cooling

A 250 W typical power draw is dissipated across a two-slot heatsink that occupies 111.2 mm of height and 267.7 mm of depth. Memory bandwidth reaches 346 GBs across a 384-bit bus, feeding the 3840 CUDA cores during long inference runs. Double-precision peak performance is rated at 12000 Gflops, and the card draws supplementary power through a single 8-pin connector.

Replaces older compute modules needing more VRAM

The 24GB frame buffer lets you move up from cards limited to 12GB or 16GB, keeping larger models resident without host-memory paging. The jump is worth it when batch size or model footprint exceeds the capacity of your current accelerator. Buyers who need active cooling or display outputs should look elsewhere, as this is a headless, passively cooled compute card.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the PNY Tesla P40 get when running at its 250 W power draw all day?

The card uses a passive cooling design with no fan, so it produces no audible noise. Heat is dissipated through the heatsink, requiring strong case airflow to keep temperatures stable under continuous 250 W load.

What power connector and motherboard slot must my system already have for this 250 W card?

You need a free PCI Express x16 3.0 slot and one 8-pin supplementary power connector from the power supply to deliver the 250 W typical consumption.

Will the P40's 3840 CUDA cores and 24 GB GDDR5 work with my older PCIe 2.0 motherboard?

The card fits a PCI Express x16 3.0 interface and is backward compatible with PCIe 2.0 slots, though bandwidth drops to half of the 346 GB/s maximum memory bandwidth.
