The PCIe interface of the $10,000 RTX RPO 6000 professional graphics card is damaged and turned into a brick. The chance of repair is zero.

The RTX PRO 6000 96GB Blackwell professional graphics card is NVIDIA's current top product and the most expensive product, generally costing $10,000. However, it is very fragile like the RTX 5090 FE because it is also designed with independent daughter cards for the PCIe interface and output interface. Once damaged, there is no chance of repair at all.

NorthbridgeFix has encountered a case where the RTX 5090 FE PCIe interface was damaged before. It tried its best to repair it, but NVIDIA finally replaced it for free for the player.

Now, a similar nightmare has happened to RTX PRO 6000 again, but this time the PCIe interface and cables are fine.What was damaged was the PCIe daughter card itself, which was broken into two pieces, and there was nothing that could be done about it.

You know, such a daughter card usually has a very multi-layer PCB, up to 14 layers. Once broken, it means that extremely fine connecting lines need to be used to reconnect layer by layer, which is an impossible task.

It is said thatThe card was damaged during transportation. It was so large and heavy, but no security measures were taken.

The bad thing is that RTX PRO 6000 only has public version cards, so users have no choice.

I hope I can contact NVIDIA to get a new one, at least a PCIe daughter card.
