New NVIDIA RTX 6000 Card Will Cost Over $7,000 – Nvidia

NVIDIA’s new professional workstation graphics card has appeared in product catalogs from online retailers like ShopBLT and CompSource at a price, according to VideoCardz website They range from $7,378 to $8,000.

NVIDIA announced the RTX 6000 in September, but at that time the American company did not announce its cost, but given that some competing products such as AMD’s Radeon Pro W6800 with 32 GB of VRAM and the W6900X that we find in the Apple main computer are $ 4,000 and $ 6,000 At the very least, we suspected it would cost quite a bit of money.

The RTX 6000 has 48GB of GDDR6 ECC RAM, and based on specs released by LeadTek, it has more than four times the computational performance of single-precision floating point operations than the W6900X, at approximately 91.1 TeraFLOPs compared to the W6900X’s 22.2 TeraFLOPs. This means that with such an “arsenal” SolidWorks users can “load” all objects. The memory size matches that of the current RTX A6000 based on Ampere architecture (again, the naming of the new graphics card is a somewhat unfortunate choice by the company that could cause confusion). The RTX A6000 costs less than $7,000, but the cost gap compared to its nearly $1,000 twin sister, the RTX 3090, is significant. There is a similar gap between the RTX 6000 and RTX 4090 as well.

Although the GeForce RTX 4090 has half the amount of memory as the RTX 6000, the two graphics cards have similar features, such as memory bus width or the number of ray tracing cores and tensors. The company has also decided to discontinue using the Quadro brand for its professional products. In addition to high performance, low consumption is also very important for businesses, and the fact that the RTX 6000 requires 300 watts compared to the 450 watts of the GeForce RTX 4090 is undoubtedly encouraging, in contrast to … the cost.
