Nvidia Quadro M6000 with GM200 confirmed in new drivers

On Christmas Eve itself, the Quadro M6000 was registered in the GPU-Z utility database and, interestingly, the specifications were in line with rumors circulating about the GM200 monster circuit, which is expected to house the Geforce “Titan II”. Now the upcoming Quadro model is confirmed in nothing less than Nvidia’s drivers.

The latest drivers notice a new INF file listing the brand new string NVIDIA_DEV.17F0 = “NVIDIA Quadro M6000”, which in addition to the obvious name has an ID number that completely matches the Christmas Eve leak. This also strengthens the authenticity of the specifications that in the same crank found out online.

Behind the Quadron M6000 are hidden no less than 3,072 CUDA cores – 50 percent more than today’s GM204. This points to the fact that this is precisely the mythical monster circuit GM200, which can be expected to find its way into higher-performing graphics cards than today’s flagship Geforce GTX 980.

The high number of cores includes the clock frequency 988 MHz without any details about the associated frequency boost. It is worth mentioning that Quadro models are often lower clocked than consumer-oriented Geforce, so clock frequencies well above 1,000 MHz are not entirely unlikely.

This includes a 384-bit memory bus with 12 GB GDDR5 clocked at 6.6 GHz, which provides 317 GB / s bandwidth. This can be compared to 288 and 336 GB / s in Titan and Titan Black, respectively, but the effect may be greater due to the transition to the memory-efficient architecture Maxwell. In addition, it is possible that a consumer model can have clock frequencies of 7.0 GHz or higher, but also lower memory.

When the Nvidia GM200 will enter the scene is not yet known, but the listing suggests that a launch is not too far in time, at least for the Quadro M6000.
