NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 "Blackwell" Features 24,064 Cores Paired with 96 GB GDDR7 ECC Memory

[AleksandarK]

NVIDIA has prepared a "Blackwell" Titan equivalent—RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPU for professional visualization and local AI solutions. Based on the GB202 silicon, the RTX PRO 6000 is the closest solution to the full power of NVIDIA's prosumer-oriented Blackwell SKUs. With 24,064 CUDA cores on board, this configuration is just 512 CUDA cores shy from the complete GB202 24,576-core configuration. This is likely due to the yield defects, meaning that this is perhaps the highest CUDA core count model we will see based on GB202. Additionally, at 24,064 core RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell is carrying 2,340 more cores than the top-end consumer GeForce RTX 5090 with 21,760 CUDA cores. Based on the 600 W TGP, the new RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell should have lower clocks, given its bigger core count to maintain the TGP for its massive memory configuration. Remember, GDDR7 memory modules consume power, too.

With 96 GB of GDDR7 memory and ECC memory correction on board, it will primarily target professionals in 3D rendering, simulations, and local AI development. To cool the beastly configuration, NVIDIA opted for a double-flow-through cooler used on the RTX 5090, with an open-air design. Operating on a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface with four DisplayPort 2.1 connectors, the design remains double-slot in thickness. VideoCardz obtained pictures of it, which you can see below. Interestingly, the color accents of the new cooler are darker. We can expect to see more from NVIDIA and its new RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPU from the upcoming GTC 2025 on March 17.

Disassembled will be more interesting view.

‘Kay. So the 4090 was (officially) 1600 bucks. The RTX 6000 Ada was the same idea in relation to that as this is to the 5090 and was 6800 bucks. So 4.25 times more. By that logic this will, at best, start at 8500. Cool. And the fun part - they will all sell out.

I would make room on my bed for this every night. Wifey would not be pleased.. but at that point who cares right

Rather likely, and still a good deal for its target audience. And at 96 GB, this should be able to load a whole 70B LLM onto its memory quite comfortably, those who are serious about those will jump at it

Clamshell design with 24Gb GDDR7 modules? Wew

I still expect to see some other in-between configs, such as a 48GB (no clamshell, 24Gb modules) and 64GB (chamshell of 16Gb modules).

 

[AboveGreatness]

Would do a lot of nasty stuff for this at MSRP

 

[Tomgang]

See now this is a great card to replace my rtx 4090 with.....right

Same I've been waiting for this announcement. It will probably be a few K above but im curious how brutal it will be.

 

[Tomorrow]

The news neglected to mention a Pro series Blackwell card with 384bit 48GB configuration. Essentially an eventual 384bit 24GB 5080 Ti or 5080 Super.

Oh, it's gonna burn like Jeanne d'Arc...

Of course they will. This isn't a gaming card, people use these cards to make money.

 

[Dr. Dro]

No, it will not. Professional GPUs have an efficiency optimized focus and it's likely this will use a lot less power than a 5090.

 

[DaemonForce]

I really hope the datacenter goes for these over the usual.

I believe it will cost around $6K. If the price exceeds this range, under what circumstances would it be justified to use one of these instead of 2-3x 5090s(assuming supply returns to normal)? LLM and rendering perform well with multi-GPU setups.

 

[TSiAhmat]

wanna see the idle power draw on that sucker (not that it matters if one can afford it)

Nvidia locks down tensor FP16 matmul with fp32 acc to half rate on GeForce products, while it's unlocked on such pro offerings.

Apart from that, in a setup thay can hold 8 devices, you can have 8x96GB of vram instead of 8x32GB, and that's without taking into consideration that those pro devices are usually 2-slot and have cooling better suited for mGPU setups, so you can reduce the footprint and power usage this way.

I believe it'll cost somewhere around $8~12k. A RTX 6000 Ada costed way more than 2x4090s, as a counter point to your idea.

Looks like my client is going to want this for their CAD workstations when it's out. This should be fun

Will be interesting to see how availability goes on these bad boys..

 

[docnorth]

Finally VRAM future proofing .

 

[N/A]

All the Bells and whistles for the insane power draw. it shouldn't cross that 300W line. It would need at least 48640 cores for 8K gaming. So its like a 5050 with 32 GB. Not enough processing power.

 

[Deslok]

Hopefully this means I can buy a used ada series card finally to replace my current Quadro RTX 4000

But this is not meant for gaming in any way

 

[mechtech]

If it doesn't start at $20k I will be disappointed

No dual 2x6 power cables.
