The new workstation card RTX A introduced at the beginning of October 6000 is available immediately. The ones with the full expansion of the GA 100 – GPU equipped RTX A 6000 also has 48 GB GDDR6 memory. In addition to the hardware, NVIDIA of course also offers the corresponding software support, which in the end comes in a price of 6. 999 Euro results. The predecessor Quadro RTX 8000 currently costs a little less than 5. 800 Euro.

Analogous to the GeForce RTX – 30 Cards, the RTX A 3090 is based on the Ampere architecture. In the full configuration, the GPU comes on 84 SMs (Streaming Multiprocessor) and therefore with 128 CUDA cores per SM on a total of 10. 752 FP 32 – units of account. To INT 32 – arithmetic units are available 5. 376. Suitable for the 84 SMs are 84 RT cores available. In addition 336 Tensor Cores.

At 376 bit width Memory interface are connected 48 GB GDDR6 with ECC support. Yes right, not GDDR6X as with the GeForce RTX 3080 and GeForce RTX 3090, but GDDR6 is used here. With the RTX A 6000 the memory bandwidth is 768 GB / s.

The RTX A 6000 uses PCI-Express 4.0 with 16 GB / s and NVLink 3.0 with a bidirectional data rate of 112, 5 GB / s. MIG (Multi Instance GPU) is like on the A 100 – GPU accelerators are also active.

The RTX A 6000 is a classic dual-slot card with a radial fan and a weight of 1, 179 kg. The thermal design power is 300 W. There are four DisplayPort 1.4 at the display outputs. As soon as a vGPU technology is used, however, the physical outputs are no longer active. Power is supplied by the EPS not previously used in the graphics cards 12 V with eight pins.

PNY is one of the providers who offers the RTX A 6000 directly. As I said, the price is 6. 999 Euro.
