The avalanche of news about NVIDIA continues to roll down the media mountains these days. Now that many of NVIDIA’s RTX 30 Series cards have been revealed, a number of people are left wondering what is in store for its professional line of GPUs. The GeForce RTX 3090 has crept not just over the previous TITAN RTX in some specs, but also in some ways is approaching Quadro levels. Now it seems that statement may be closer to the truth than initially thought. New rumored specs for the next NVIDIA Quadro RTX have come from Moore’s Law Is Dead (via VideoCardz).



Even bigger Ampere cards are coming, and I...

If pricing of previous Quadros is any indicator, these will cost a small fortune

Normally I'd wholeheartedly agree but if this is a replacement for the 6000 series I'd expect between $2000-$3000 tops since the $1400 3090 already has most of these features. That is except, 48 GB of VRAM but even then this one is GDDR6 instead of the 24 GB GDDR6X. I do believe, however, when they upgrade it down the road that price will certainly jump.

The 48GB of memory would point to a Quadro RTX 8000 replacement, not RTX 6000. The 8000 was $10,000 USD when it launched. It is going for $5,500 USD now.

I stand corrected, and once again though, it shows how the 3090 encroahes into the 6000 territory.

I gotta admit. This is confusing territory. One hand there's the VRAM issues, on the other if this is a fully enabled GA102, and perhaps a 6000 replacement, then wondering if the 8000 may end up with something more along the lines of an A100. I could see them upping the 6000 to 48 GB but that means the 8000 would need something more significant to be of importance at that level.

The A100 would be a pure compute card with no video outputs or things like texture units. Totally different market segment compared to the Quadro line.

Well that leads us back to the time old question of 'What will they think of next?'. We'll just have to wait and see what the next leaks are. NV has definitely shaken up their product stacks this time around. As much as what's been told this month it feels like only the tip of the iceberg.
