It was only yesterday that we got our first look at the PCB of NVIDIA's new RTX PRO 6000 Max-Q Blackwell GPU (limited to 300W of power, but still rocks 96GB GDDR7) but now we have the PCB from the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPU with its max 600W TDP.
The PCB design of NVIDIA's new RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPU was posted on Chiphell, and since the new workstation cards haven't been launched yet, these are some really early shots of the PCB. NVIDIA's new RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell features a compact PCB that is split into 3 parts: the motherboard for the GPU and GDDR7 memory, and the PCIe interface board, with the only missing part here being the display connector board.
NVIDIA has placed the GDDR7 memory on both sides of the PCB, with each side featuring 48GB GDDR7 for a full 96GB using 3GB GDDR7 memory modules.
The big takeaway from the use of double-sided GDDR7 memory modules is that yes, NVIDIA can do it... thanks to those beefier 3GB modules. NVIDIA could use double-sided GDDR7 memory on a gaming-focused card as well as a workstation-class card, with something like the GeForce RTX 5090 SUPER using double-sided GDDR7 for a total of 64GB using the larger 3GB modules.
NVIDIA uses 2GB GDDR7 memory modules on the RTX 5090, with 16 x 2GB modules = 32GB, but the company could use the bigger 3GB modules on the purported RTX 5090 SUPER for either 48GB or a monster 96GB, but it seems those memory capacities (especially 96GB, which isn't required for gaming unless every game was made 8K textures and ultra-high-quality graphics with new ray tracing tech) are locked to the workstation GPUs.
