Both of these cards are $6,000 and $4,000, respectively. PNY has also stated that these passively cooled versions only sacrifice a little bit of performance to achieve a passively cool design with a cooling capacity of up to 250W. > The CUDA cores remain precisely the same, being 4608 CUDA cores. The boost clock has been lowered by 8% down to a still very respectable 1,620 MHz, and the base clocks have been dropped by about 12%, the memory clock has also received a small performance hit of 7% to bring it from 14 Gbps to 13 Gbps. The memory bandwidth has also been reduced from 672 GB/s to 624 GB/s, the standard TDP of Quadro RTX 8000 is 295-watts while the passively cooled variants have a lowered TDP of 250-watts.
