HP Inc AV8J3AA NVIDIA RTX A400 4GB Workstation GPU

Overview

The AV8J3AA is HP Inc's integration of the NVIDIA RTX A400 into a low-profile workstation graphics card carrying 4GB GDDR6 memory across a 64-bit bus. Delivering 96 GB/s memory bandwidth and 21.7 TFLOPS of FP16 compute, it targets HP workstations where slot availability is limited but parallel compute and multi-display output are both required — think compact security operations centers, video surveillance workstations, or corporate CAD seats with space-constrained tower or SFF chassis. The card runs over a PCIe x8 4.0 interface, so it fits any PCIe x16 slot as well without bandwidth penalty at this tier. 768 CUDA cores give it real parallel processing headroom for analytics pipelines and light AI inferencing at 43.3 INT8 TOPs — enough to run perimeter analytics or VMS-side object detection without offloading to a separate compute card.

Compatibility

Designed for HP Inc workstation platforms that expose a PCIe x8 or x16 4.0 slot. Compatible with HP Z-series and EliteDesk workstations that carry PCIe 4.0 slots with a full-height or half-height bracket bay. The four Mini DisplayPort 1.4a outputs support up to 5120×2880 resolution per display — standard for HP Z-series multi-monitor deployments running four independent screens from a single card. DirectX 12.0 and OpenGL 4.6 support keeps it current with modern workstation graphics software stacks including VMS clients, forensic video review tools, and GIS visualization platforms. Shader Model 6.6 ensures compatibility with current-generation compute shaders used in analytics middleware.

Installation Notes

The card measures 9.00 × 8.00 × 2.00 in and weighs 0.75 lb — verify chassis clearance before ordering, particularly in SFF enclosures where card length is the binding constraint. The PCIe x8 4.0 electrical interface means it will seat in any PCIe x16 slot; no riser or adapter required for standard tower workstations. Confirm the host system's power supply can source the slot-only power draw — the RTX A400 operates within PCIe slot power limits without requiring a supplemental power connector, simplifying installation in managed workstation environments where cable routing is controlled.
