Teardown reveals NVIDIA RTX 6000D Chinese accelerator with 84 GB memory

The printed circuit board of the Chinese version of the NVIDIA RTX 6000D professional accelerator with 84 GB of memory has been shown online for the first time. An enthusiast named GINNSOD published a teardown video, revealing the server variant of the card with its cooling system removed.

The RTX 6000D is intended exclusively for the Chinese workstation and server market and represents a simplified version of the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell. Externally, the server modification uses a similar passive cooler, but differences in the memory configuration were found beneath the heatsink. While the RTX PRO 6000 utilizes all chip mounting positions, four slots remain empty on the RTX 6000D.

As a result, the card is equipped with 28 GDDR7 chips, each offering 3 GB, instead of the 32 chips found in the full version. This provides a total of 84 GB of video memory and forms a 448-bit memory bus. For comparison, the PRO model offers a wider configuration and increased capacity. The teardown also revealed the replacement of the standard passive cooling with a custom water block and radiator. Although the server version is designed for silent operation, some companies modify the cooling system to improve heat dissipation efficiency.

In terms of computational characteristics, the RTX 6000D also falls short of the higher-end model, featuring 19,968 CUDA cores compared to the 24,064 in the RTX PRO 6000. The nominal TDP is stated at 600 W, but in the system shown, the card consumed up to 419 W. The server version has configurable power consumption limits, while the Max-Q variant for workstations is limited to 300 W.
