Hi Frank,
Just a quick update on my end. I have officially engaged Provantage
(the authorized reseller) to activate my support entitlement for the
RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition. I’m currently waiting for
confirmation on whether we can resolve this via a VBIOS update or if
a full RMA will be necessary.
The GPU shipped with the 98.02.52.00.02 VBIOS, which is a version
too early to support MIG. I’m hoping to be granted access to the latest
recommended and stable version that supports both my RTX Pro
Blackwell Workstation Edition and the MIG feature to which I am
entitled, version 98.02.55.00.00 or newer.
As a quick heads-up for context: In the North American market, this is
a true NVIDIA manufactured card. For technical clarity, the hardware
reports a Device ID of 10DE:2BB1 and a Subsystem ID of 10DE:204B.
This confirms it is an official NVIDIA-direct unit rather than an AIB partner
board (like PNY), which is why I am pushing for the official NVIDIA
firmware path. I had already provided this information to NVIDIA Support
and they confirmed that mine is a genuine NVIDIA manufactured
“Founders Edition” as they called it.
If manufactured by PNY, Leadtek or other, I would see instead
Subsystem ID’s starting with vendor codes such as the following,
where 10DE is definitely NVIDIA.
PNY: 196E
Leadtek: 107D
Dell: 1028
I’ve asked the standard support tier to keep my technical ticket open
while we determine if this needs to transition to Enterprise Support for
the firmware side. I’ll post another update here as soon as I hear back.
Best regards,
John
