The A6000 is actually the old generation, Ampere. The new Ada generation one is called 6000. Seems many places still sell A6000 (Ampere) for the same price as RTX 6000 (Ada) though, even though the new one is twice as fast.
Seems you can get used RTX A6000s for around $3000 on ebay.
- thewataccount 3y agoThat.... That explains why I can't find it and makes a ton of sense..... I think that's such a silly name for it, but oh well Thanks for the correction!
- macrolime 3y agoJust to add to the confusion, there's another older RTX 6000 with 24GB ram. This is from an even older generation, same as the GeForce 20 series.
- thewataccount 3y agoYou're kidding? So they called it the RTX 6000, then called it the RTX A6000 for ampere, then back to RTX 6000 for Ada? Why do they do this? Sometimes consumer products are versioned weirdly to mislead customers (like intel cpus) - but these wouldn't even make sense to do that with as they're enterprise cards?
- macrolime 3y agoActually the first one is called Quadro RTX 6000, while the Ada one is just RTX 6000 without "Quadro" in front. Not that it makes the naming make much more sense. According to GPT-4 the next generation one will be called Galactic Unicorn RTX 6000 :D
