## Features

Raising the Bar on Virtual Desktops

### Designed for Accelerated VDI

Optimized for user density and, combined with [NVIDIA vPC](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/virtual-pc.md) software, enables graphics-rich virtual PCs accessible from anywhere

### Affordable Virtual Workstations

Enables large framebuffer per user for entry-level virtual workstations, with [NVIDIA RTX vWS](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/design-visualization/virtual-workstation.md) software, running workloads such as computer aided design (CAD)

### Flexibly Support Diverse User Types

Unique quad-GPU board design enables the provisioning of mixed user profile sizes and user types, such as virtual PCs and virtual workstations, on a single board.

### Superior User Experience

Provides increased frame rate and lower end user latency versus CPU-only VDI, resulting in more responsive applications and a user experience that’s indistinguishable from a native PC

### Double the User Density

Purpose-built for graphics-rich VDI with support for up to 64 concurrent users per board in a dual-slot form factor

### High Resolution Display

Supports multiple, high-resolution monitors (up to two 4K or a single 5K) to enable maximum productivity and photorealistic quality in a virtualization environment

### More than 2x the Encoder Throughput

More than double the encoder throughput versus previous generation M10, providing the multiuser performance required for streaming video and multimedia

### Highest Quality Video

Supports the latest codecs, including H.265 encode/decode, VP9, and AV1 decode for the highest-quality video experiences

### PCI Express Gen 4

Supports PCI Express Gen 4 data-transfer speeds from CPU memory for data-intensive tasks

### NVIDIA Ampere Architecture

Includes NVIDIA Ampere architecture-based CUDA® cores, second-generation RT Cores, and third-generation Tensor Cores, delivering the flexibility to host virtual workstations powered by [NVIDIA RTX™ Virtual Workstation (vWS)](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/design-visualization/virtual-workstation.md) software or leverage unused VDI resources to run compute workloads.

## Up to 70% Better Performance Using vPC

Tested by NVIDIA on knowledge worker workloads (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Chrome, Media Player, PDF) running on dual 1920 x 1080 resolution displays with NVIDIA vGPU 13.0 and NVIDIA A16-1B.
