This professional graphics card features a massive 48GB of ram, 10752 CUDA cores offering a compute performance of up to 38.7 TFLOPs. I know what you’re thinking … don’t bother, it’s not designed for gaming.
Taken from Videocardz … NVIDIA announced it will launch two professional products based on Ampere GPUs: RTX A6000 and A40 were to feature GA102 and GA104 graphics processors respectively. While the announcement was not a surprise to anyone, the fact that these cards do not feature Quadro or Tesla branding certainly was.
NVIDIA has discontinued its Quadro and Tesla series by offering a single series of products known as NVIDIA RTX Axx or NVIDIA Axx. It actually matters if the card carries the RTX branding because these cards will replace the Quadro series, while the non-RTX A40 card is basically a Tesla successor that will accompany the already launched GA100 A100 accelerator.
The RTX A6000 is the only graphics card based on GA102 GPU to feature all CUDA cores enabled. With 10752 CUDA cores, the GPU has a single-precision compute performance of up to 38.7 TFLOPs, which is 3.1 TLFOPs more than GeForce RTX 3090. Unlike the gaming card, however, the RTX A6000 features twice the memory capacity of 48 GB. Such modules are currently only available with GDDR6 memory technology, hence the memory bandwidth is actually lower on the former professional model.
NVIDIA RTX A6000 features four DisplayPort 1.4 connectors with no HDMI 2.1 output. It’s a blower type design cooler, so it is not a datacenter card like A40, which only features a passively cooled heatsink. Only two cards can be connected through a new low-profile NVLink bridge. The A6000 is a workstation card that also supports NVIDIA vGPU virtualization technologies.
