PNY releases passively cooled Nvidia Quadro RTX 6000 and RTX 8000

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.

CUDA Cores RTX 6000	4608
NVIDIA RT Cores	72
NVIDIA Tensor Cores	576
RTX-OPS	80T
Rays Cast	10 Giga Rays/Sec

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.

Yeah, me too... does that mean next mid range cards will run passive?

j/k
But yeah, still fancy passively cooled low end GPUs for HTPCs and basic gaming rigs

hang on hang on hang on......

what scam is pny pulling here, those cards will go nuclear.

I guess these are to be used in high airflow servers.

Exactly, in servers all are cooled this way. Use of fans inside rack on graphics/compute card is waste of space that can be used by bigger heatsink.

Uh.... I'm not convinced these are meant to be passively cooled. GPUs like this are usually found in server racks, where they'll be cooled by the array of fans pushing air through the chassis from the front. I'm quite confident these GPUs will be unusable in a matter of minutes if you put them in just any PC.

Beefy Quadro/Tesla/Firepro GPUs without fans are not unhead of. For such models, a fan is only complicating airflow and reducing total cooling capacity, when put in the appropriate chassis.

It need zillion of noisy small fans in case, why these servers has to be locked somewhere far from people.. and its always punishment for technician to do something with them physically.. Personally always hated such sort of hardware.. its for big evil companies
