Cisco UCSC-GPU-RTX6000 | Quadro RTX 6000 Graphics Card, 24GB GDDR6, 250W Passive

Q: What server platforms is the UCSC-GPU-RTX6000 compatible with?
A: This GPU is designed for Cisco UCS C-Series rack servers, particularly models that support PCIe 3.0 x16 expansion cards and passive cooling configurations such as the UCS C240 M5. Verify server compatibility and adequate airflow for passive cooling before deployment.

Q: Can I connect two UCSC-GPU-RTX6000 cards together?
A: Yes, the RTX 6000 supports NVIDIA NVLink technology. Using an NVLink bridge (sold separately), you can connect two RTX 6000 GPUs to scale memory capacity to 48GB and achieve up to 100GB/s bidirectional data transfer for enhanced performance in demanding workloads.

Q: What types of workloads benefit most from the Quadro RTX 6000?
A: The RTX 6000 excels at AI training and inference, VDI deployments with virtual GPU support, real-time ray tracing, 3D rendering, CAD/CAM applications, scientific visualization, and video production. The 24GB memory capacity handles large datasets and complex models efficiently.

Q: Does this GPU support virtualization?
A: Yes, the Quadro RTX 6000 is vGPU-ready and supports NVIDIA Virtual GPU (vGPU) software, enabling multiple virtual machines to share GPU resources. This makes it ideal for VDI deployments and multi-tenant server environments requiring graphics acceleration.

Q: What is the difference between passive and active cooling?
A: This passive version uses only heatsinks without fans, relying on server chassis airflow for cooling. It is designed for data center servers with sufficient airflow. Passive cooling reduces noise and mechanical failure points but requires proper server ventilation to maintain safe operating temperatures.
