These FAQs cover the most common technical questions about the NVIDIA L40 GPU, based on official NVIDIA specifications and Hostrunway's deployment experience. The L40 is a versatile Ada Lovelace-based data center GPU ideal for AI inference, rendering, Omniverse, VDI, and mixed graphics/compute workloads.
The NVIDIA L40 is built on the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture. Key specs include:
The NVIDIA L40 has a maximum board power of 300W (default TDP 300W, configurable down to ~100W minimum in some modes). It uses a single 16-pin power connector. Hostrunway ensures proper PSU and power delivery in all dedicated and cloud configurations for stable 24/7 operation.
Yes — the L40 fully supports NVIDIA vGPU software, including:
The L40 includes 4 × DisplayPort 1.4a connectors, supporting:
Both share the same Ada Lovelace architecture, 48 GB GDDR6 memory, and core counts, but the L40S is more AI-optimized:
No — the L40 does not support NVLink (for direct GPU-to-GPU interconnect) or MIG. Multi-GPU scaling relies on PCIe or software frameworks like NCCL. Hostrunway offers multi-GPU configurations via high-bandwidth PCIe fabrics for distributed workloads.
The L40 includes 3 × NVENC (encoders) and 3 × NVDEC (decoders), with support for AV1 encode/decode. This delivers excellent performance for video streaming, transcoding, cloud gaming, broadcast, and content creation pipelines.
The L40 excels at AI inference (especially generative AI with FP8 support) and lighter training/fine-tuning workloads. For massive-scale training (e.g., trillion-parameter models), consider higher-memory options like NVIDIA B200 or AMD MI350X on Hostrunway. The L40's 48 GB memory and Tensor Cores make it great for single-GPU development, data science, and production inference.
