NVIDIA also shipped a passively cooled Quadro RTX 8000 PCIe Server Card for data center and edge servers. That board is rated at 250 W total board power rather than 295 W, and its memory runs slower, giving up to 624 GB/s rather than 672 GB/s. This row is the active workstation card. Note also that the 295 W figure is total board power; NVIDIA lists total graphics power separately at 260 W, the difference being the up to 35 W the VirtualLink USB-C connector can deliver to a headset.

Overview

The Quadro RTX 8000 is the 48 GB flagship of NVIDIA's first ray tracing workstation pair, built on the same 754 mm2 TU102 die as the Quadro RTX 6000 with 4,608 CUDA cores, 576 second-generation Tensor cores and 72 RT cores. Compute is identical between the two cards, clock for clock and core for core; the RTX 8000 simply doubles the frame buffer to 48 GB, and a pair bridged over NVLink presents 96 GB. That capacity is why the card still turns up on rental marketplaces years after launch, since 48 GB at a low hourly rate remains useful for inference and for models that will not fit a 24 GB card. Turing tensor cores cover FP16, INT8 and INT4 and stop there, so there is no BF16, TF32 or FP8 on this part, and no structured sparsity, which arrived a generation later with Ampere. The datasheet's 130.5 TFLOPS of tensor performance is therefore a dense figure, directly comparable with every other accelerator on this site.

Every figure here is dense. The vendor documents no structured (2:4) sparsity mode for this part, so there is no second number to quote.
