NVIDIA RTX 6000D 84 GB PCB Discovered; Features 28x 3GB GDDR7 Chip Configuration

We are witnessing a significant development in the GPU market with the unveiling of China’s exclusive workstation graphics processing unit (GPU), showcasing its printed circuit board (PCB) design. This unprecedented look demonstrates how the memory chips are configured.

GINNSOD Reveals 28x 3 GB GDDR7 Memory Module Layout for NVIDIA RTX 6000D Blackwell Server GPU

Recent insights from GINNSOD highlight a teardown video that reveals the inner workings of the NVIDIA RTX 6000D, hinting at its role as the server edition of this GPU. The RTX 6000D serves as the workstation variant specifically tailored for the Chinese market, differentiating itself with reduced shader counts and memory capacity. Notably, the RTX 6000D features a passive cooling system that mirrors the configuration of the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition.

Upon removing the cooler, a detailed view of the PCB reveals notable differences when compared to the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPU. Unlike its counterpart, which utilizes all memory slots, the RTX 6000D has four empty slots. This unique layout features 28x 3 GB GDDR7 memory modules, as opposed to the 32x configuration in the PRO variant, resulting in a total memory capacity of 84 GB GDDR7. Consequently, this configuration is paired with a narrower 448-bit memory interface.

In the teardown, GINNSOD replaces the stock cooler with a custom water block connected to a radiator for enhanced thermal performance. Though the server edition is designed for quiet operation, companies are reportedly modifying their cooling solutions for better efficiency. Regarding specifications, the RTX 6000D boasts 19, 968 shaders, a reduction from the 24, 064 shaders found in the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, indicating additional performance differences.

The RTX 6000D is rated with a power limit of 600W, aligning it with the RTX PRO 6000D. However, during testing in the GINNSOD workstation, the GPU only drew a maximum of 419W. Additionally, the RTX PRO 6000 Server Edition offers the flexibility of adjustable thermal design power (TDP) settings, whereas the Max-Q Workstation Edition is constrained to a maximum power cap of 300W.
