TECH NEWS – It is true that this graphics card is more for workstations and professional use, but its test results are very good.

Nvidia has unveiled its flagship graphics card, which on paper is much better than the GeForce RTX 5090. Both are based on the same architecture and GPU (Blackwell, GB2020), but the RTX Pro 6000 has better specifications. It has 24064 CUDA cores and 188 shader models (10.5% more than the RTX 5090), but consumes 600W, which requires a 12V-2×6 power connector (the RTX 5090 has 575W TDP).

The RTX Pro 6000 has 4000 AI TOPS (RTX 5090: 3352; +19%), 125 TFLOPS FP32 (RTX 5090: 105, +19%), and 380 TFLOPS RT (RTX 5090: 318, +19%). The VRAM is also higher as this card has 96GB of GDDR7 instead of 32GB! This is offered on the same 512-bit bus, with the same 28 Gbps memory speed, for a total bandwidth of 1792 GB/s. The card is built in the same dual air-permeable design and is two slots in size. It supports MIG (Multi-Instance-GPU) in 4x 24 GB, 2x 48 GB or 1x 96 GB mode.

We also have benchmark results courtesy of GameTechBench, and this one includes full path tracing (CGI rendering), proving just how powerful the new card is. The RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell tops the 4K performance charts, finishing 5% ahead of the RTX 5090. At 1440p, the RTX Pro 6000 seems to lag slightly behind the RTX 5090, but these are all real-time ray tracing tests. In offline path tracing rendering mode, the RTX Pro 6000 “Blackwell” is 2% faster than the RTX 5090.

So the advantage is not that big, even though it is 19% better on paper. This could be due to underutilization of such powerful hardware or drivers that need tweaking, but overall the 96GB of VRAM and updated specs will certainly attract the majority of workstation, dedicated enthusiasts and AI users. This card will also be a benchmark within the visualization segment, with its AI-tuned hardware reaching new levels of realism.

However, let’s not forget that it will cost $12,000 in Canada (around $8,300 US), which is more than four times the recommended retail price of the RTX 5090…
