NVIDIA’s RTX PRO 6000 “Blackwell” GPU would be a beast of a workstation graphics card with over 24 thousand CUDA cores and 96 GB VRAM.

NVIDIA Goes All Out For Workstation With Blackwell RTX PRO: Flagship RTX PRO 6000 Packs 24,064 Cores & 96 GB VRAM

Yesterday, we reported that NVIDIA was working on its next-gen Blackwell Workstation graphics card under the “RTX PRO” lineup. The flagship within this lineup is going to be the RTX PRO 6000 and while we had preliminary information that came out initially, now we have the proper specs.

The latest leak comes from a listing by Leadtek, which has now unearthed the first official specs of this beast of a product. Starting with the core configuration, you will be getting 188 SMs out of the total 192 SMs on the GB202 GPU. This is still not a fully enabled chip, but it’s far better than what we got for the gaming-oriented RTX 5090.

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 “Blackwell” will get a total of 24,064 cores, which is 10.5% more than the RTX 5090 at 21,760 cores. In addition to the core count, the chip will also pack 752 tensor cores and 188 RT cores. But the biggest upgrade over the RTX 5090 will be its insane memory capacity.

Unlike the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, which features 32 GB GDDR7 memory across a 512-bit bus interface, the RTX PRO 6000 “Blackwell” will get 96 GB of GDDR7 (ECC) memory across a 384-bit bus. You can only reach 96 GB VRAM with a 384-bit bus, as a 512-bit bus only gets you up to 32, 64 or 128 GB. NVIDIA will be using a total of 24 GDDR7 memory modules, each holding 4 GB capacity to reach 96 GB VRAM. We don’t know the speeds which this memory will be configured at, but we can expect at least 28 Gbps speeds.

As for the TBP, the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 will be rated at 600W, which is the full capacity allowed by a single 12V-2×6 16-pin power interface. Cooling such a beastly card would require loads of work and NVIDIA’s thermal engineering team would’ve designed a brand-new reference design, probably in a single blower-type or dual-axial fan design. The listing also confirms that the launch is close by, so expect more information in the coming weeks.

Lastly, in terms of pricing, expect this workstation behemoth to cost anywhere around $10-$15K or even higher. Canadian retailer, Direct Dial, is currently listing the card for CAD 11,933 or around $8300 US. This is over 4 times more than the RTX 5090’s MSRP, though in reality, the RTX 5090 costs around $3000 US, which still makes the RTX PRO 6000 “Blackwell” over 2 times more expensive.
