Bottom line: how fast is the Quadro RTX 6000?

For local LLM inference it generates 102.8 tokens/sec running llama2:7b at q4_0 under llama.cpp, per llama.cpp GitHub. In PassMark G3D Mark it scores 17,830 points, per PassMark. It has 24 GB of VRAM, and the llama2:7b run above (7B parameters) is the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card. Larger models have no sourced run on file.

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 the Turing family released in 2018 from NVIDIA. Key on-paper specs include 24 GB of VRAM. Data on this page draws on 2 linked listings, 8 synthetic benchmark results, 4 community AI inference reports, compiled from PassMark, 3DMark, llama.cpp GitHub, LocalLLaMA, LocalScore, TopCPU; each table row links to its source. 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 (synthetic benchmark scores or local LLM inference).

AI Inference Performance

Tokens per second under each model + quantization. Higher = faster generation. Bars compare runs across the same model.

Local LLM inference throughput on the Quadro RTX 6000, in generated tokens per second for a single request (one user's generation speed). Higher is better; each row links to the community report or benchmark database it came from.

Synthetic Benchmarks

Higher is better. Bars are scaled within each benchmark family (multi-thread, single-thread, etc.) so you can compare like-with-like at a glance.

Synthetic benchmark scores for the Quadro RTX 6000 — higher is better. Each row links to the public database the number was taken from.
