PNY Quadro RTX 8000 Professional Graphic Card 48GB GDDR6 PCI Express 3.0 x16, Dual Slot, 4x DisplayPort, 8K Support, Ultra-quiet active fan

Product Information

Do you work primarily in CAD, particularly in scientific fields with applications like Creo and CATIA? Then no; the RTX 3090 doesn’t provide the necessary driver optimizations that come with the Quadro line of cards, and no amount of brute forced raw power can overcome that. We’re working to get our hands on the new RTX A6000, the RTX 8000s actual replacement, to help inform folks like you. Quadro GV100, Quadro GP100, Quadro P6000, Quadro P5200, Quadro P5000, Quadro P4000, Quadro P2000, Quadro P1000, Quadro P620, Quadro P600, Quadro P400, Quadro M6000 24GB, Quadro M6000, Quadro M5000, Quadro M4000, Quadro M2000, Quadro K6000, Quadro K5200, Quadro K5000, Quadro K4000, Quadro K4200, Quadro K2200, Quadro K2000, Quadro K2000D, Quadro K1200, Quadro K620, Quadro K600, Quadro K420, Quadro 410

Do you do a lot of GPU virtualization? This is a solid no; the RTX 3090 does not natively support SR-IOV. Last, but definitely not least, we’ll look at SPECviewperf 2020, the newest revision of the industry-standard benchmarking utility from the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation. This benchmark looks at graphics performance in a variety of professional applications. We’ve also included the Lenovo P620 equipped with an older Quadro P6000 for comparison. NVIDIA RTX A5000 Laptop GPU, NVIDIA RTX A4000 Laptop GPU, NVIDIA RTX A3000 Laptop GPU, NVIDIA RTX A2000 Laptop GPU, NVIDIA T1200 Laptop GPU , NVIDIA T600 Laptop GPU, NVIDIA T500 Do you work exclusively with large 3D models in applications like Blender and Cinema 4D or regularly edit large 6K and 8K video files? Then yes; the RTX 3090 is the best creative professional GPU on the market for CUDA and RTX accelerated workflows.Equipped with 4608 NVIDIA CUDA ® cores, 576 Tensor cores, and 72 RT Cores, the Quadro RTX 8000 can render complex models and scenes with physically accurate shadows, reflections, and refractions to empower users with instant insight. Support for NVIDIA NVLink™1 lets applications scale performance, providing 96 GB of GDDR6 memory with multi-GPU configurations2. And with the industry’s first implementation of the new VirtualLink®3 port, the Quadro RTX 8000 provides simple connectivity to the next-generation of high-resolution VR head-mounted displays to let designers view their work in the most compelling virtual environments possible. Do you have enough disposable income for an absolutely no-compromises gaming rig? Also yes; the RTX 3090 is the best gaming GPU money can buy, particularly in games with ray-tracing and DLSS 2.0 support, a list that is growing every day. Next up is the good stuff; the workstation results you’re expecting to see. This batch of benchmarks will be looking at performance in 3D modeling, lighting, and video work. We’ll begin with LuxMark, an OpenCL GPU benchmarking utility. We’ve used the newest version, v4alpha0, as well as the older v3 with the classic LuxBall. New dedicated hardware-based ray-tracing technology allows the GPU for the first time to real-time render film quality, photorealistic objects and environments with physically accurate shadows, reflections, and refractions. The real-time ray-tracing engine works with NVIDIA OptiX, Microsoft DXR, and Vulkan APIs to deliver a level of realism far beyond what is possible using traditional rendering techniques. RT cores accelerate the Bounding Volume Hierarchy (BVH) traversal and ray casting functions using low number of rays casted through a pixel.

Yeah. Next, we’ll take a look at video editing applications, specifically Davinci Resolve Studio 16.2.8 and Adobe Premiere Pro 2020. We’ll be using PugetBench for Adobe CC and PugetBench for Resolve, both developed by PugetSystems, a PC manufacturer that makes professional workstations for specific applications. This chart specifically looks at the GPU score of the overall benchmark, scoring performance in GPU accelerated effects.

There’s other considerations, too. While both the Quadro and the GeForce card offer multi-GPU setups over NVLink, and it’s worth noting that only the 3090 has this capability among the 3000-series cards, only the Quadro can be virtualized with SR-IOV. If your workload involves distributing one GPU, or two NVLinked GPUs, to multiple VMs, the Quadro is still your only choice. While there are ways around this, the point still stands that this feature is artificially limited by NVIDIA’s GeForce driver. The same driver which, by the way, does offer certifications for some creative applications like the Adobe suite and Autodesk, as well as WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs) certification in its Studio variant, confounding the point further. While we anticipate a true Ampere-based TITAN replacement to come in the future from NVIDIA, the artificial limitations placed on the GeForce RTX 3090, including the limit to concurrent encodes with NVENC, feel out of touch with what professional users are looking for right now. GPUDirect for Video speeds communication between the GPU and video I/O devices by avoiding unnecessary system memory copies and CPU overhead.
