Graphics card Alphacool ES H100 80GB HBM PCIe

Alphacool ES H100 80GB HBM PCIe is a graphics card built for applications that require a very large framebuffer. With 80GB of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and a PCIe interface, the card provides substantial on-board VRAM capacity to handle large datasets, complex visualizations and memory-intensive compute workloads. It is intended for integration into workstations and server platforms where high memory capacity and efficient data transfer over PCIe are important.

Advantages

The card delivers an unusually large HBM memory pool that reduces the need for frequent data swapping to system RAM or storage, improving performance on tasks that maintain large models or high-resolution frames in memory. The PCIe interface ensures compatibility with a wide range of modern motherboards and server backplanes, enabling high-bandwidth communication between the GPU and host system. Passive and active cooling design options from the manufacturer and the compact PCB layout help with thermal integration in diverse chassis and rack configurations.

Suitable for

• 3D rendering and high-resolution visualization where large textures or scenes are kept in memory
• Machine learning training and inference with large models and batch sizes
• Scientific simulation and data analysis requiring extensive in-memory datasets
• Video post-production workflows that use large frame buffers and multi-layer compositing
• Virtualization and multi-user workstation environments that allocate significant VRAM per instance

Key specifications

• Memory: 80 GB high-bandwidth memory (HBM)
• Interface: PCIe compatible slot
• Form factor: add-in card designed for standard PCIe slots in workstations and servers
• Primary use: high-capacity framebuffer for rendering, compute and data-intensive tasks

How to use

Install the card into an appropriate PCIe x16 (or compatible) slot on a supported motherboard, ensuring the system is powered off and the chassis is grounded. Secure the card in the chassis and connect any required auxiliary power connectors if present on the system build. After powering on, install or update the system drivers provided by the platform vendor to enable full memory and compute features. Configure application settings to allocate and utilize the available 80 GB HBM for rendering, simulation, or compute workloads as required by the software.

Usage recommendations

Place the card in a chassis with sufficient cooling and airflow; monitor temperatures under load and ensure the host power supply meets peak power requirements. For server deployments, verify BIOS and OS compatibility with large GPU memory configurations and enable any recommended platform firmware updates to ensure stable operation with high-memory workloads.
