The NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell has recently appeared in the listing of a U.S. retailer, Connection. This is an extremely powerful graphics card designed for workstations, featuring 96 GB of GDDR7 RAM, 24,064 cores, and a TDP of 600 W.
Price and Availability
According to the listing (thanks TweakTown), the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell is expected to cost between $8,435 and $8,565 depending on the packaging, and it is set to launch in May. This graphics card comes with three times the memory of the already powerful RTX 5090 and will be available in two versions: the Workstation Edition, which offers enhanced performance, and the Max-Q Workstation Edition, which reduces power consumption to 300 W while still maintaining 88% of AI performance.
The heart of the RTX PRO 6000 is the GB202 GPU, featuring 24,064 cores and 188 Streaming Multiprocessors. It is capable of delivering 125 TFLOPS in FP32, 380 TFLOPS in ray tracing, and 4,000 AI TOPs.
Will Gamers Buy It?
While these GPUs are designed for workstations, the boundaries have blurred over time. Gamers with the budget may not hesitate to purchase one of these beasts, despite availability challenges. It’s also worth noting that NVIDIA is releasing other PRO models, including the RTX PRO 5000 with 48 GB of RAM priced at around $4,500, the RTX PRO 4500 with 32 GB of RAM, and the RTX PRO 4000 with 24 GB of RAM.
