A new NVIDIA workstation graphics card spotted on a shipping manifest is believed to be a Blackwell-based flagship GPU for professional use. NVIDIA workstation cards, also known under the Quadro product name, typically use GPUs similar to their consumer-grade gaming counterparts but are configured much differently. NVIDIA’s newest flagship gaming card, the GeForce RTX 5090 features 32 GB GDDR7 memory on a 512-bus by using 16 x 2 GB modules. According to a shipping manifest, a new NVIDIA workstation graphics card has been spotted with 96 GB GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus.
Per ComputerBase (machine translated):
“Yesterday, pictures of an Nvidia prototype with a full GB202 configuration, 32 GB GDDR7 and a double 12V 2×6 connection made the rounds, today entries for Nvidia graphics cards with 96 GB GDDR7 memory appeared in shipping documents – is the new Nvidia RTX 6000 “Blackwell” behind this?”
It is believed that this unreleased workstation graphics card could be the successor to the NVIDIA RTX 6000 ADA which currently has up to 48 GB of memory, and so might be called the NVIDIA RTX 6000 Blackwell, perhaps, maybe, RTX 8000 Blackwell. It’s theorized that this card also features the newer 3 GB modules which would mean it could have 16 modules on each side of the PCB to provide the 96 GB of memory. It’s now been confirmed that NVIDIA is using 3 GB modules for its laptop RTX 5090 GPU which uses a cutdown desktop RTX 5080 GPU but features 24 GB GDDR7 instead of the 16 GB that is offered for the desktop RTX 5080.
Obviously, there are still a lot of details missing for this unannounced professional-grade card such as core counts and clock rates, memory frequency, TDP, and pricing. It is expected to use the same GB202 die as the RTX 5090 but either fully unlocked or close to which would mean more than 21,760 cores (max is 24,576). Depending on configuration it’s possible it will also need 2x 12V-2×6 connectors. NVIDIA is expected to share more about its workstation graphics cards based on the new Blackwell architecture at its GTC 2025 event in March.
