Nvidia RTX 6000 with 18,176 CUDA cores and 300 W TDP 15% slower than RTX 4090 in 3DMark Time Spy

[Redaktion]

A Redditor posted Time Spy scores from an RTX 6000 workstation GPU. The RTX 6000 sports a near-complete AD102 die with 18,176 CUDA cores and managed scores that are about 15% lower than an average RTX 4090 (after a Windows update) albeit at a lower 300 W TDP with a blower-style cooler.
