The RTX 6000 ADA is the AD102 based model with 142 Streaming Multiprocessors enabled. This means 2 are disabled from the full silicon and the CUDA core count is 18176 (~11% more than RTX 4090). The 6000 Ada is not a gaming card though, it has no powerful dual-fan cooling, but also no crazy TDP requirements. Unlike RTX 4090 which is a 450W TDP model, RTX 6000 Ada is ‘just’ 300W.

Geez, and I thought $1600 was bad......  

 

Good thing this is NOT a gaming GPU (cough Titan's cough cough). -_-

 

Seriously though, even in the professional sense, this has GOT to be getting ridiculous.  I get that companies have hundreds of thousands of disposable income (some do) for IT upgrades every year, but this is just stupid.  Almost $8,000 for a GPU that's not even fully utilized (2 locked SM's).

Yeah I have comments about 2 SM's still being locked on an $7350 product LOL.

 

EDIT: And see, didn't I say an actual Titan would have 48GB by now? And here's this with 48GB. Not saying this is a Titan, but sort of helps my point about that "dual space" and the fact VRAM has stagnated in GeForce products except for 90 cards. But even 90 cards have not been increasing in VRAM relative to how Titans were gen on gen previously.
