Why Buy Used NVIDIA A100 GPUs?
Designed on the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, the A100 series delivers breakthrough acceleration for training and inference, supporting multi-instance GPU (MIG) partitioning and high-bandwidth HBM2e memory. When sourced through a trusted refurbisher like Alta Technologies, a used NVIDIA A100 offers the same transformative compute capabilities, at up to 80% cost savings over new, as supply becomes available.
Purchasing refurbished also supports sustainability goals by extending the life of premium hardware. At Alta, each unit goes through a multi-point inspection process, is cleaned and tested in a climate-controlled environment, and is confirmed for power, thermal, and performance benchmarks, helping IT professionals reduce costs without compromising reliability.
Our Selection of Used NVIDIA A100 GPUs
Alta offers two key models in our used NVIDIA A100 inventory: the PCIe and SXM versions, both with 80GB of high-bandwidth memory. These GPUs are ideal for data-intensive computing tasks like neural network training, large-scale inference, simulation workloads, and real-time analytics.
The PCIe version provides 80GB of HBM2e memory with a memory bandwidth nearing 2 terabytes per second, and is available in air-cooled or liquid-cooled configurations. It’s built for compatibility with a wide variety of standard servers.
The SXM version also offers 80GB of high-performance memory but delivers slightly higher bandwidth and is optimized for tightly integrated systems. With a higher thermal design power rating, it fits into specialized high-density GPU platforms and can be partitioned into seven MIGs for parallel workload isolation.
Both models are tested to ensure seamless integration and maximum uptime. Reach out to our team to explore which version best aligns with your infrastructure and workloads.
How to Choose the Right Used NVIDIA A100 GPU for Your Needs
Choosing the right A100 depends on hardware compatibility, deployment goals, and infrastructure readiness.
PCIe vs. SXM
- PCIe models offer wider compatibility and easier deployment into standard rackmount servers.
- SXM models deliver higher memory bandwidth and tighter integration—ideal for clustered compute environments with custom cooling solutions.
Single vs. Multi-GPU Setup Considerations
For AI inference, a single A100 may suffice.For training large models or parallel processing, multi-GPU setups offer significant throughput advantages. MIG support allows logical GPU partitioning—ideal for virtualized or containerized workloads.
Power & Cooling Requirements
- PCIe (300W): Compatible with traditional air or liquid-cooled servers.
- SXM (400W): Requires integrated cooling and power provisioning—commonly found in purpose-built AI infrastructure.
Alta’s team can help assess your environment and suggest tested and compatible upgrades tailored to your deployment.
