PNY outs a duo of passively cooled Nvidia Quadro cards; the RTX 6000 and RTX 8000. Both are models with a 250 watt TDP , which means that they must have a considerable cooling capacity. They are aimed at servers (ergo display connectors are not there).
The RTX 6000 has a whopping 24 GB gddr6 memory, the RTX 8000 however 48 GB gddr6 (with ecc). A large internal cooling block was installed to cool all this.
The demand for visualization, rendering, data science and simulation continues to grow as businesses tackle larger, more complex workloads than ever before. However, enterprises looking to scale up their visual compute infrastructure face mounting budget constraints and deployment requirements.
Meet your visual computing challenges with the power of NVIDIA Quadro RTX GPUs in the data center. Built on the NVIDIA Turing architecture and the NVIDIA RTX platorm, the Quadro RTX 6000 passively cooled graphics board features RT Cores and multi-precision Tensor Cores for real-time ray tracing, AI, and advanced graphics capabilities. Tackle graphics-intensive mixed workloads, complex design, photorealistic renters, and augmented and virtual environments at the edge with NVIDIA Quadro RTX, designed for enterprise data centers.

PNY asks for $ 4000 for the passively cooled RTX 6000. The RTX 8000 is sold for $ 6000. Yeah, admittedly I am a little fascinated they can run passively even though base and boost clock run on average about 10% lower.
