NVIDIA unveils the new Quadro M6000, 24GB of GDDR5 for $5000

NVIDIA has just doubled down on its latest Quadro M6000 professional video card, with the new Quadro M6000 featuring a huge 24GB of GDDR5. The previous model had 12GB of VRAM.

As for what makes the Quadro M6000 tick, it is technically similar to the GTX Titan X, with a full GM200 core and 6 Graphics Processing Clusters. Each of the Graphics Processing Clusters features four SMM (Streaming Multiprocessing Units) with 12 cores in each SMM block. There's 3072 CUDA cores, 192 TMUs, 96 ROPs and 3MB of L2 cache, with six 64-bit memory controllers - with a 384-bit memory bus, and the GPU clocked at 988MHz.

The only difference between the older Quadro M6000 and the new model is that the new model features 24GB of GDDR5, up from the 12GB on the previous M6000. The card has a 225W TDP, with a single 8-pin PCIe power connector, DVI, HDMI and 3 x DisplayPort outputs.

NVIDIA says that the updated Quadro M6000 ships with temperature and clock speed management options, with the company noting: "More discrete GPU clock options for a better customer experience when running their application" as well as "greater software temperature control to keep the GPU temperature below the hardware slowdown threshold for the best user experience".

The new NVIDIA Quadro M6000 will ship later this week for $5000.
