Overview

Quadro RTX 6000 Passive is an NVIDIA GPU entry in the Quadro RTX family. It is listed with Turing architecture and TU102 silicon.

Key reference data: 4,608 CUDA cores/shaders, 24 GB GDDR6 memory, 384-bit memory bus, 260 W board power class.

Workstation cards should be checked against driver branch, application certification, memory capacity, and display output requirements.

Why It Mattered

Quadro RTX 6000 Passive represents the professional side of Quadro RTX and the Turing generation around 2018. Certified-driver workflows, VRAM configuration, display outputs, and OEM workstation compatibility are the main historical reasons to track it separately from consumer GeForce models.

Collector Relevance

For archival use, record the OEM or board-partner part number, bracket height, cooler type, memory configuration, display-output adapter or breakout cable, firmware, certified-driver branch, and the workstation model where the card was used.

Used-Market Caution

Before buying used, confirm bracket height, display adapters, mini-DP or DMS breakout cables, fan condition, VRAM errors, driver branch support, OEM firmware quirks, and whether the card needs workstation-specific airflow or auxiliary power.

Driver and Platform Notes

Driver support depends on architecture, operating system, and current NVIDIA driver branch.

Check the current NVIDIA Linux driver branch, distribution packages, and kernel compatibility for this exact GPU.

Check the current NVIDIA driver branch and OEM support policy for this exact GPU.
