NVIDIA has just announced a new workstation-focused graphics card — the RTX 6000 Ada. The 48GB powerhouse is the latest model to join the company’s family of high-end, enterprise-grade GPUs designed for demanding content creation. NVIDIA sees the RTX 6000 being used for metaverse projects, thanks to the card’s Ada Lovelace generation AI, massively improved ray tracing and other cutting-edge features.

It’s important to point out that NVIDIA doesn’t view this GPU as something the general public will buy — the predicted $8,000 price will undoubtedly prevent that from happening — but instead is positioning the card as a tool for TV broadcasters, scientists and other professional applications.

“The new workstation GPUs are truly game-changing, providing us with over 300% performance increases — allowing us to improve the quality of video and the value of our products,” says Andrew Cross, CEO of Grass Valley (TV broadcast equipment).

So what do the specs look like in NVIDIA’s new RTX 6000 Ada? For starters, there are over 18,000 CUDA cores, 48GB of GDDR6 memory and a power rating of 450 watts. 568 Tensor cores and 142 RT cores help to triple the video encoding performance, and Nvidia virtual GPU (vGPU) software enables multiple remote users to share resources and workloads.

“The NVIDIA RTX 6000 is ready to power this new era for engineers, designers and scientists to meet the need for demanding content-creation, rendering, AI and simulation workloads required to build worlds in the metaverse,” says Bob Pette, NVIDIA vice president of professional visualization.

The NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada will be available from December 2022 through global distribution channels and manufacturing partners.

stake powers instant payouts with checkout.com pay to card

Stake, a leading digital real estate investment platform, has unveiled Pay to Card, a next-generation withdrawal feature built on Checkout.com’s global payment infrastructure. The integration enables investors to have dividends and returns credited directly to their bank cards — often within minutes — dramatically reducing the traditional multi-day payout process.

After a successful pilot in May involving over 200 users, some investors reported receiving their funds in under 10 minutes. Ricardo Brizido, CPTO and Co-Founder of Stake, emphasized the importance of speed and reliability: “With Pay to Card, we’re eliminating unnecessary delays and putting returns in our investors’ hands almost instantly. This feature was built to directly solve one of the most common pain points in real estate investing, and it’s already driving strong results”.

The feature launch coincides with rapid growth in real-time finance across the Middle East. Checkout.com’s “State of Digital Commerce in MENA 2025” report highlights a 388% year-on-year surge in Account Funding Transactions (AFTs) in the UAE, reflecting strong demand for immediate payout solutions. The same study recorded a 176% increase in total processing volume from 2023 to 2024 and noted that daily online transactions have jumped 320% since 2020.

Since its 2021 debut, Stake has facilitated over AED 1 billion in property transactions, advancing its mission to democratize real estate investment in high-growth markets. By integrating Pay to Card, Stake reinforces its commitment to customer-centric innovation and operational transparency.

Together, we’re meeting the expectations of a region that is no longer just digital-first, but real-time-first. Pay to Card exemplifies how modern payment infrastructure can directly solve investor pain points”.

Pay to Card is now available to all Stake users in the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the United Kingdom. By slashing withdrawal times from days to minutes, Stake and Checkout.com are setting a new standard for seamless, on-demand real estate investing.
