It is cooled by two fans, top and bottom. It gets its power from a special 8-pin connector, that is connected to two standard 8-pin PSU connectors via an adapter. The board is rated at 300W, so you’ll need a fairly hefty PSU in your workstation. NVLink, Stereo and Sync connectors are all hidden away behind discrete panels. Nvidia’s product design team has really gone to town on the Nvidia RTX A6000 and the card is a thing of beauty, with a minimal angular design and black mirror finish. However, sharing geometry between two GPUs can come with a significant performance hit. What’s more, two Nvidia RTX A6000s can be bridged together with an NVLink adapter to create a memory pool of 96 GB. This is particularly relevant for those working with high poly count models and very high resolution textures in GPU renderers or real time visualisation / VR.

With 48 GB of VRAM, the Nvidia RTX A6000 has the most memory of any professional GPU – on par with the Quadro RTX 8000, and double that of the Quadro RTX 6000. There’s also support for Nvidia virtual GPU (vGPU) software, which allows a workstation to be repurposed into multiple high-performance virtual workstation instances.

It has certified drivers for pro applications, renowned reliability, ECC memory and plenty of niche features for pro visualisation, such as stereo and Frame Lock for viz clusters. For the October launch, product photos were sent out with ‘Nvidia Quadro RTX A6000’ in the file name, which suggests a last minute re-branding.īut the Nvidia RTX A6000 is certainly a Quadro card in everything but name. And, it would seem, Nvidia is struggling too. Yes, after 17 years, it appears that Nvidia is retiring its Quadro brand.įor someone who has written about Nvidia professional GPUs since the early 2000s, it’s hard to get used to this change. The observant among you will have noticed that the Nvidia RTX A6000 is missing something. PCIe Gen 4 is currently only available in workstations with the latest AMD CPUs.

With double the bandwidth of PCIe Gen 3, it should mean data can move in and out of the GPU quicker, but it won’t benefit all workflows. The Nvidia RTX A6000 is the first workstation GPU to be built on the Nvidia Ampere architecture, and also the first to support PCIe Gen 4. And, of course, it also offers a significant boost for 3D graphics, VR, and AI workflows. With an emphasis on hardware-based ray tracing, it promises to deliver more than double the GPU rendering performance of its predecessor, the Turing-based Nvidia Quadro RTX 6000. Tuned for visualisation workflows, the Nvidia RTX A6000 (A for Ampere) is Nvidia’s second generation RTX GPU.

UK firm Scan is taking pre-orders for the PNY Nvidia RTX A6000 from 3 March and sent us a sample to review inside its new 3XS GWP-ME N1-32T AMD Ryzen Threadripper workstation, which we review in full here. But with delays, we’ve been eagerly awaiting its arrival.Īnd now it’s finally here – well, nearly. Nvidia first announced its new Nvidia RTX A6000 workstation GPU back in October 2020.

And it’s certainly been worth the wait, writes Greg Corke. The Nvidia RTX A6000, one of the most eagerly anticipated workstation GPUs in recent years, is finally here.
