since I am slowly entering the very interesting and versatile AI game my interest in high VRAM GPUs steadily increases and my wallet becomes willing too. I have an important question in regards to the Nvidia RTX Pro 6000 though, and that is if anyone actually got MIG support working on a Linux system because that would be a feature I require.
I found several threads about this with people mentioning it does not actually work.
Please excuse me for summoning @wendell, @eousphoros, @Steve12, @LinuxNoob1, @level1mo, @b0lt or anyone else that got the card can you please be so kind to tell me if it works for you or now if you use this card on Linux?
Thank you for replying, is there any way to follow the escalation or will you keep us posted? I can’t really believe Nvidia is selling a card for $10k that does not work as advertised.
If eventually there is support, that would be lovely. A person i know pre-ordered two of the server editions and one of the workstation editions specifically because of the MIG feature, so if they end up only making that feature available for Hopper H100’s and stuff, that is very dishonest.
Even though there has been a lot of less that positive news around team green lately, I hope that its just a delay in drivers and stuff like a bit of a rush to get them out into the market before they did all their 0’s and 1’s
I do not understand what you mean? That is a minimum requirement, this means a later, higher version vBIOS is supposed to work as well or is that not in line with the current vBIOS versions?
Hi H-i-v-e, TechPowerUp reports that in late May 2025, they added a vBIOS to their database that was released late March 2025. This version number was:
98.02.52.00.02.
The Nvidia doc linked above states that for MIG to work on RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, you’ll need vBIOS equal to or later than version:
98.02.55.00.00
I went down this rabbit hole at one point on ada and gave up. PNY wont directly release vbios and require you to go through the partner. My channel partner wasn’t able to get the vbios either so guess I’m out of luck.
Late reply because I’ve been traveling and not checking the forums much. Short answer is I don’t know, I bought the rtx 6000 pro specifically to have enough VRAM to avoid using multiple GPUs. With the Pro lineup, I can even have multiple virtual GPUs on the same GPU which is useful for me.
Oh so as I understand you vGPU is enough for you, you do not need the low-latency from MIG. The difference between both is vGPU is timesharing of the resources via a special scheduler, so basically vGPU #1 gets a certain amount of time on the GPU and then vGPU #2 gets a certain amount of time on the GPU. With MIG it is like up to four separate cards, that each have their own compute cores and VRAM available.
