NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation: Retailer pricing points to imminent release for AD102-based workstation GPU
VideoCardz has discovered US retailer prices for the RTX 6000, an Ada Generation graphics card that NVIDIA announced in September alongside the RTX 40 series. While pricing varies, all outstrip the RTX A6000, which carried a hefty US$4,650 MSRP. NVIDIA has yet to confirm an MSRP for the RTX 6000, but VideoCardz asserts that the card will officially launch for US$7,349.
By contrast, the prices seen so far put the RTX 6000 Ada Generation between US$7,377.71 and US$8,209.65. VideoCardz adds that NVIDIA recently published an RTX 6000 Ada Generation-compatible driver too, details of which you can find on NVIDIA’s support page. In short, the RTX 6000 Ada Generation has a more powerful GPU than the RTX 4090 but VRAM geared to workstation usage.
Specifically, NVIDIA has built the RTX 6000 Ada Generation around an AD102 GPU with approximately 11% more CUDA cores enabled than the RTX 4090. The RTX 6000 Ada Generation matches its consumer sibling’s GPU clock speed, but includes more RT cores and 48 GB of GDDR6 VRAM with EEC, not 24 GB of GDDR6X. The RTX 4090 has a TGP advantage, though; the RTX 6000 Ada Generation tops out at 300 W, 150 W shy of the RTX 4090.
