Quadro RTX 8000

The Quadro RTX 8000 is the flagship of NVIDIA's Turing-generation Quadro RTX professional lineup, launched in late 2018. It is the workstation counterpart to the consumer GeForce RTX 20 series and represents the most capable single-GPU professional configuration from NVIDIA's Turing generation, sitting three generations before the current RTX PRO Blackwell professional cards.

The card carries 48GB of GDDR6 memory with ECC support across a 384-bit bus, delivering 624 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It features 4608 CUDA cores for 14.9 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput, alongside 1st-generation RT cores and 1st-generation Tensor cores for ray tracing and AI acceleration. In a dual-slot form factor on PCIe 3.0 x16 rated at 295W, it supports NVLink for pairing two cards to pool a combined 96GB of ECC framebuffer. It runs NVIDIA's ISV-certified Quadro professional drivers.

The Quadro RTX 8000 was designed for professional visualization, VFX, 3D rendering, simulation, AI/ML inference, and CAD/CAE. Its large 48GB ECC framebuffer — expandable to 96GB via NVLink — suited the largest scene complexity and datasets of its generation, making it the preferred workstation option for studios and research teams requiring maximum professional VRAM from 2018 through its multi-year lifecycle.
