Exxact Validates 4x NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Qs in a Workstation

A Problem Worth Solving

The NVIDIA® RTX PRO™ 6000 Blackwell Series and its 96GB of VRAM have made waves across all industries that value GPU acceleration: AI, Engineering, 3D Content Creation, Life Science, and more. With multi-GPU workstations, the deployment flexibility and performance capabilities are second to none.

With multi-GPUs workstations, there has always been a long-standing validation process that every solutions integrator has to clear to manage the cooling of the high heat output of multiple GPUs and workstation components.

Validating four NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q Workstation Edition GPUs in a workstation has been challenging due to their higher heat output compared to the last generation. As of today, we have yet to see another solution integrator offer such a GPU configuration, many of which accept three GPUs as the thermal limit. However, at Exxact, we thought otherwise and are the first to proudly say, “We did it.”

The First Quad NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q Workstation by Exxact

Exxact Corporation incorporates a custom cooling solution in our Valence Workstation featuring a 4x NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q configuration. We did all testing on an AMD Threadripper PRO 9000WX platform with all 8 channels of memory populated. Here are the specifications of the system tested in a fixed 24°C/75°F environment with the side panels on:

In a stock configuration without the Exxact cooling solution, we also observed four NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Qs thermal throttling, undervolting, and leaving performance on the table. However, with our custom cooling solution, each of our GPUs pulled the maximum 300W TDP with a temperature below 90°C on all four cards. CPU and memory also remained stable at acceptable temperatures. This goes without saying; deploying your system in a hotter environment or restricting airflow to the front, side, or rear panels can adversely affect performance.

We are extremely proud of our engineering team for their ability to deliver the first validated 4x-GPU workstation featuring the extremely popular NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q GPU.

Why the NVIDIA RTX 6000 PRO Blackwell Max-Q is Your Next GPU

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q is designed with deployment flexibility and scalability in mind. It is a dual-slot workstation-class GPU design for multi-GPU deployments and can be fitted in a typical workstation and a multi-GPU server.

It features the largest VRAM capacity in a workstation-class GPU with 96GB of GDDR7 per card; when deployed in a 4x GPU workstation configuration, 384GB of GPU memory can power almost any workload. Coupled with the new GDDR7, the memory bandwidth was increased, resulting in significantly better GPU-to-GPU and GPU-to-component communication.

At Exxact, our customers are extremely excited to get their hands on this GPU. Here are some popular use cases we see that can leverage our Tensor Workstation featuring four NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q:

Multi-GPU for AI Training and Inference

Ample GPU memory is crucial for storing AI models during training and deployment. Maximum inference performance is achieved when you house your models entirely on GPU memory.

With a 4x NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q Exxact Workstation, the massive 384GB of VRAM can house almost all LLMs without quantization, significantly expanding possibilities for local AI deployment with larger and more capable models.

Multi-GPU for Engineering and MPD

Historically, engineering simulations leaned on CPU-dominated systems since system memory had much higher limits than GPU memory. With increased adoption in GPU-accelerated and GPU-native solvers, there was a need for GPUs with high memory capacity to fit complex models.

Data Center GPUs had the high memory capacity but lacked visual output and needed to be deployed in a remote server. With a 4x NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q workstation, engineers can now solve significantly more complex models on the GPU alone, with the system sitting on their desk.

Multi-GPU for Life Science & Healthcare

Molecular Dynamics simulations benefit tremendously from multiple RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q GPUs, allowing researchers to run several simulation variations simultaneously. With 96GB of VRAM, researchers can simulate even larger molecular models than before.

Most of HPC deployments in the healthcare industry require strict network limitations and data security. With a capable high-performance GPU workstation from Exxact running workloads locally, healthcare institutions can rest assured that their data is safe from leaks.

Multi-GPU for 3D Content Creation & Rendering

The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q solves the infamous "Transformer problem," where the complex Devastator model crashed workstations during rendering. 96GB per GPU now supports the highly complex models with billions of polygons while delivering a smoother design experience with fewer jitters and reduced texture load times. We’re sure that an Exxact 4x NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q workstation could handle the render of a complex model like the Devastator.

Conclusion

At Exxact, we validate every configuration to ensure optimal performance in the most strenuous use case. Our goal is to deliver the most capable system that works right out of the box. Each system is designed to support a wide range of computing environments and workloads without compromise.

The AMD Threadripper PRO 9995WX paired with 4x NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q Workstation Edition is the most performant workstation configuration for handling all types of workloads in AI, Engineering, Life Science, and 3D content. Want to configure this Exxact platform? Contact us today!
