NVIDIA RTX A6000

$3800$4650 MSRP

The NVIDIA RTX A6000 is a professional workstation GPU with 48GB of GDDR6 memory with ECC support. Built on the Ampere architecture, it can run 70B parameter models at Q4 quantization and handles complex multi-model AI pipelines. Its blower-style cooler is designed for multi-GPU rack configurations. While newer Ada-generation cards offer better performance per watt, the A6000 remains available at lower prices on the used market.
