Detailed breakdown of Quadro M6000 24GB specifications and capabilities.
Graphics Performance
The Quadro M6000 24GB scores 11,625 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Mid-Range tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the Maxwell 2.0 (2014−2019) architecture (codename: GM200), manufactured on a 28 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 3072 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 256 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 96 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 6.844 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1114 MHz from a base of 988 MHz.
