![]() So while newer and significantly more powerful, there are not many new marquee features to be found on the card. Otherwise, as we saw with the GeForce cards launched last month, Ampere itself is not a major technological overhaul to the previous Turing architecture. Notably, the A6000 only has a TDP of 300W, 50W lower than the GeForce RTX 3090, so I would expect this card to be clocked lower than the 3090. Unfortunately NVIDIA has either yet to lock down the specifications for the card or is opting against announcing them at this time, so we don’t know what the clockspeeds and resulting performance in FLOPS will be. ![]() ![]() In terms of performance, NVIDIA is promoting the A6000 as offering nearly twice the performance (or more) of the Quadro RTX 8000 in certain situations, particularly tasks taking advantage of the significant increase in FP32 CUDA cores or the similar performance increase in RT core throughput. As a result, despite being based on the same GPU, there are going to be some interesting performance differences between the A6000 and its GeForce siblings, as it has traded memory bandwidth for overall memory capacity. Notably, the A6000 is using GDDR6 here and not the faster GDDR6X used in the GeForce cards, as 16Gb density RAM chips are not available for the latter memory at this time. The card uses a fully-enabled GA102 GPU – the same chip used in the GeForce RTX 3080 & 3090 – and with 48GB of memory, is packed with as much memory as NVIDIA can put on a single GA102 card today. The first professional visualization card to be launched based on NVIDIA’s new Ampere architecture, the A6000 will have NVIDIA hitting the market with its best foot forward. The A6000 will be a Quadro card in everything but name literally. The successor to the Turing-based Quadro RTX 8000/6000, the A6000 will be NVIDIA’s flagship professional graphics card, offering everything under the sun as far as NVIDIA’s graphics features go, and chart-topping performance to back it up. Being announced today and set to ship at the end of the year is the NVIDIA RTX A6000, NVIDIA’s next-generation, Ampere-based professional visualization card. Starting things off, we have a pair of new video cards from NVIDIA – and a launch that seemingly indicates that NVIDIA is getting ready to overhaul its professional visualization branding. As the de facto replacement for GTC Europe, this fall virtual GTC is a bit of a lower-key event relative to the Spring edition, but it’s still one that is seeing some NVIDIA hardware introduced to the world. ![]() NVIDIA’s second GTC of 2020 is taking place this week, and as has quickly become a tradition, one of CEO Jensen Huang’s “kitchenside chats” kicks off the event. ![]()
