Nvidia has doubled the amount of VRAM on its Quadro M6000 graphics card, making a first Quadro professional graphics card with 24GB of GDDR5 of video memory.

Aimed at professional visualization applications that can actually use 24GB of VRAM, the "new" Nvidia Quadro M6000 graphics card is pretty much the same as the Quadro M6000, which was launch back in March last year.

In case you missed it back last year, the Quadro M6000 is based on a fully-enabled GM200 GPU (just like the Titan X), featuring 6 Graphics Processing Clusters (GPCs), each with four Streaming Maxwell Multiprocessors (SMMs) with 12 cores in each SMM block, adding up to a total of 3072 CUDA cores, 192 TMUs and 96 ROPs and 3MB of L2 cache.

What makes it different is that Nvidia decided to use 8Gb GDDR5 memory chips, adding up to 24GB of GDDR5 memory on a 384-bit memory bus. It also comes with the same 988MHz GPU base and 1140MHz GPU Boost clocks while memory is clocked at 6.6GHz.

The new Nvidia Quadro M6000 24GB has been also updated with new temperature and clock management options, which should provide "better customer experience and greater software temperature control," according to Nvidia.

The new Quadro M6000 24GB will replace the 12GB version and should be available to partners as of this week with the same US $5000 price tag.
