Bottom line: how fast is the Quadro RTX 6000?
For local LLM inference it generates 102.8 tokens/sec running llama-2-7b at q4_0 under llama.cpp, per llama.cpp GitHub. In PassMark G3D Mark it scores 17,830 points, per PassMark Software.
Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.
The Quadro RTX 6000 is a graphics card from NVIDIA. Data on this page draws on 3+ Amazon listings, 8 synthetic benchmark results, 4 community AI inference reports, aggregated from public benchmark databases (TechPowerUp, PassMark, Geekbench, Cinebench) and the LocalLLaMA community. Read this page when shopping the Quadro RTX 6000, comparing it against other graphics cards in your build, or sizing it for a specific workload (gaming at 1080p/1440p/4K, productivity benchmarks, or local LLM inference).
AI Inference Performance
Tokens per second under each model + quantization. Higher = faster generation. Bars compare runs across the same model.
