NVIDIA just dropped a new graphics card that’s leaving everyone in the dust. The RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell is its name, and speeding through games and apps is its game. According to Tom’s Hardware, this thing is a beast, outpacing the already-fast RTX 5090 in benchmark tests.
Let’s talk numbers. In the 3DMark Time Spy Extreme GT1 test, the RTX Pro 6000 hit 176.5 FPS, while the RTX 5090 managed 156.1 FPS – that’s a 13% difference. And in the 3DMark Speedway test, the new card was 8% faster. What’s more, it’s way more energy-efficient. Geekbench 6 tests showed the RTX Pro 6000 is between 9% and 15% faster than the RTX 5090, depending on the test.
What’s Under the Hood
So, what makes this card tick? For starters, it’s got a whopping 96 GB of VRAM and uses NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture – the same one found in the RTX 5090. This thing is built for workstations, not gaming rigs, but it still delivers insane performance in games.
The RTX Pro 6000 is all about professional applications, where speed and power are essential. It’s not for your average gamer, but if you need a card that can handle anything you throw at it, this might be the one.
The Price Tag
Now, here’s the kicker: the RTX Pro 6000 costs a cool $10,000. That’s right, five times more than the RTX 5090. NVIDIA says the price is justified because this card is aimed at professionals who need the fastest performance possible. Whether that’s worth the cost is up to you.
