Nvidia delivers “BIG Blackwell” with its Blackwell RTX PRO 6000 series

Nvidia has finally unleashed the full potential of RTX Blackwell

Nvidia teased it before their RTX 5090 launch, and now it is here. Big Blackwell has arrived in the form of the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell series, and these GPUs are monstrous.

Nvidia’s RTX 5090 is no longer Nvidia’s strongest RTX-series graphics card. With more than 10% more CUDA cores, that crown now belongs to Nvidia’s new PRO series GPUs. With three times more memory than Nvidia’s 32GB RTX 5090, Nvidia’s new PRO GPUs can smash their more mainstream counterparts in memory-heavy workloads. That’s right, Nvidia has slapped 96GB of GDDR7 EEC memory on a single graphics card!

Blackwell 6000 PRO Workstation and Server

With TDPs of 600W, Nvidia’s new 6000-series PRO Workstation and server GPUs are at the top of Nvidia’s new PRO lineup. Above, we can see that the workstation model has an RTX 5090-esque cooler. Below, we can see the server model, with a heatsink better suited to rack-mounted server environments.

For the most part, these two GPUs are identical. The only difference is their intended use case. One has a heatsink that is ill-suited to PC/workstation cases, while the other is ill-suited to servers. Both have more CUDA cores and more memory than Nvidia’s RTX 5090. Furthermore, they support Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) technology, allowing this single GPU to be partitioned into up to four instances. This prevents workload interference, maximising flexibility when required.

Blackwell 6000 PRO Max-Q

The 6000 PRO Max-Q model has a TDP that is half its server and workstation counterparts. This will significantly lower this GPU’s maximum compute performance. Even so, its lower TDP will make it suitable for a larger variety of systems. Even if compute performance is lower, it still have 96GB of GDDR7 memory, making it a beastly graphics card for memory-heavy workloads.

Specifications

Below, we can see the specifications of Nvidia’s “Big Blackwell” GPUs and how they compare with Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5090. Expect these new PRO-series cards to cost a fortune.
