NVIDIA's RTX PRO 6000 Graphics Card Now Costs $16,000
The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition, which NVIDIA calls its most powerful desktop GPU, is currently selling for $16,000 (approximately AZN 27,200). The card initially went on sale for $8,565 (approximately AZN 14,560), after which its price rose to $13,250 (approximately AZN 22,530). The reason for the latest price increase has not been disclosed. However, the increase comes at a time when memory and other graphics cards are becoming more expensive.
The RTX PRO 6000 has 96 GB of GDDR7 ECC memory and 24,064 CUDA cores for processing. The card consumes 600 W of power. ECC technology can detect and correct errors in memory. For comparison, the RTX 5090 has 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and consumes 575 W. When that card was announced, it was priced at $1,999 (approximately AZN 3,400). The large amount of memory is intended less for games than for working with large 3D projects, AI models, and virtual reality environments. It is also suitable for systems running several professional applications simultaneously. Special workstation drivers have been developed for the RTX PRO 6000. Enterprise technical support and professional software certifications also affect the price. Regular games do not benefit from the additional 64 GB of memory or most of these features.
In tests by der8auer, the RTX PRO 6000 outperformed the RTX 5090 in some games. The difference was approximately 14% in Cyberpunk 2077. Its lead was 11% in Star Wars Outlaws and Remnant 2, but only 3% in Assassin's Creed Mirage. However, a price that is approximately 8 times higher does not make these results worthwhile for gamers. The RTX PRO 6000 is not a restricted product sold only to companies. Regular consumers can also buy the card from NVIDIA Marketplace and the company's workstation partners. Nevertheless, its primary customers are AI developers, engineers, and 3D artists. NVIDIA sold its professional graphics cards under the Quadro name for more than 20 years before switching to the RTX PRO brand. The AMD Radeon PRO series is also intended for similar users. However, the model with 96 GB of memory belongs to the most expensive segment of the market.
