NVIDIA today launched the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell series of professional graphics cards. These cards are based on the latest GeForce "Blackwell" graphics architecture, and the three chips the company already launched on it. Leading the pack, is the RTX PRO 6000, a card that completely maxes out the massive "GB202" silicon, featuring more shaders than even the GeForce RTX 5090, albeit at lower clock speeds. The idea behind this product is to give pro-vis users more shader power, driving a large amount of GDDR7 ECC memory. Specifically, the card comes with 24,064 CUDA cores across all 192 SM physically present on the silicon, besides 768 Tensor cores, 192 RT cores, 768 TMUs, and 192 ROPs. The card gets a humungous 96 GB of ECC GDDR7 memory across the chip's 512-bit wide memory interface, probably using 48 Gbit density memory chips. The card has a TGP of 600 W, making out the 12V2x6 power input. It comes with a board design resembling the RTX 5090.

Next up, is the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q. This card has essentially the same core-configuration as the RTX PRO 6000, but with a reduced TGP, and a simpler 2-slot board design that uses a lateral-blower. This card is meant for machines with multiple such cards installed, though something that isn't quite a rendering server. Lastly, there's the RTX PRO 6000 Server Edition. This card, again, has identical core-config to the others in the lineup, but with a board design optimized for rackmount servers and large rendering farms. The cooler relies on the rack's airflow for cooling.

Their naming schemes is retarded.


 
Can I pay with one kidney or do I need two for these?
 
How many kidneys do I need to sell?
 
To be honest, I didn't expect NVIDIA to release a 96GB VRAM GPU this generation, even a non-consumer one. I'm pleasantly surprised, aside form the price of course. If this was a consumer version, if would be much, much cheaper. Also very nice that there is a lower TDP 300W version (not that I want to pay for a workstation version, but 600W TDP was out of question anyway, but 300W is perfect. Maybe one can get this one much cheaper but has to wait until at least the next generation).

@btarunr 512-bit wide memory bus chip / 32-bit per GDDR7 chips = 16 GDDR7 chips. (96GB/16 would indeed be 6GB per GDDR7 chip) But it's probably: 16 chips * 3GB per GDDR7 chip * 2 (16 chips on each side of the PCB -- aka clamshell VRAM design).

NVIDIA's naming scheme for professional-level cards has always been that.

It's a complete pain in the ass. There's like 5 or 6 versions of the A2000 alone. Then with the A4000 there's the newer "Ada" versions, and those have a normal one and an "SFF" version.

Really gotta pay attention to part numbers if you buy one of these, esp if it's aftermarket.

Only 1 needed, assuming of course, that you also throw in an arm, a leg, a 1st born child, a testicle/mammory, and whatever other spare body parts you have laying around, hahahaha :D

But really, the folks who need/want this type of card usually have deep, deep pockets anyways...
 
One power connecter? Dumpster fire!

Can I just sell both balls instead of 1 kidney + ball?

Sorry, they only accept single parts, cause that way they can't be accused of, or sued for, completely mangling your manhood for profit, hahahaha :)
