Nvidia RTX PRO 6000 Workstation GPU Now Costs $16,000
Nvidia's RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition has jumped from $8,565 to $16,000, as memory costs and GPU prices climb across the market.
Nvidia's RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition, which the company calls the most powerful desktop GPU ever created, now carries a US price of $16,000. That is nearly double the $8,565 it cost at launch.
Nvidia has not said why the price went up. The increase lands amid rising memory costs and broader GPU price hikes across the market.
The card is built for heavy professional workloads, with 96GB of GDDR7 ECC memory, 24,064 CUDA cores and a max board power of 600W. Nvidia targets it at AI developers, engineers and 3D artists, and directs buyers to its Marketplace and workstation partners.
For comparison, the consumer GeForce RTX 5090 was announced at $1,999 with 32GB of GDDR7 memory and up to 575W of power draw. Testing by YouTuber der8auer found the RTX PRO 6000 was about 14 percent faster than the RTX 5090 in Cyberpunk 2077, and about 11 percent faster in Star Wars Outlaws and Remnant 2.
The pricing gap highlights how Nvidia has split its professional and consumer lines. The company sold professional graphics hardware under the Quadro brand for more than 20 years before moving to RTX professional branding. AMD's Radeon PRO line targets similar workstation users.
Engadget reported the price change.
