Nvidia RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell GPU — Nvidia

Nvidia announced a host of new GPUs at its GTC 2025 conference on Tuesday, including the RTX Pro Blackwell series. The highlight component of the series is the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell GPU, developed for workstations. The RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell GPU is also available in variants to support desktops, laptops, and data centers. The component is intended to aid professional designers, developers, data scientists, and creatives, the Verge noted.

The RTX Pro naming sequence allows the Blackwell-based GPU to stand out against previous architectures, including Ada Lovelace, Ampere, and Turing, as well as the standard consumer product GPUs, Tech Radar Pro noted.

Specifications for the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell for workstations include 96GB of GDDR7 memory and up to 4000 AI TOPS performance. The GPU requires 600 watts of power, making it slightly more powerful than the consumer-tier RTX 5090 GPU.

With a similar design to the high-end gaming GPU, the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell features a double-flow-through cooling system. It also includes 24,064 CUDA cores, a 512-bit memory bus, and 1792 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Output includes PCIe Gen 5 support, DisplayPort 2.1, as well as updated software support for the latest Blackwell generation of RT cores and Tensor cores.

Nvidia noted the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell workstation will be used in many high-performance sectors, including generative AI, game development, cloud services, architecture, automotive, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, media and entertainment, and retail.

The Verge also confirmed that the GPU will be available in a Max-Q Workstation Edition, indicating a “maximum efficiency” variant. The platform will also have an RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Server Edition.

Nvidia also confirmed other naming sequences, including the RTX Pro 5000 and RTX Pro 4000 Blackwell for desktops and laptops and the RTX Pro 4500 Blackwell for desktops. These options will be available in May.

Nvidia has not yet indicated a price for the RTX Pro 6000 workstation variant; however, the brand has shared some partner details– including PNY and TD Synnex, and manufacturer information including Dell, HP, and Lenovo. These companies should be releasing the component respectively by April and May.

Other variants and partners have less succinct information with availability expected between the summer and later in the year.

Nvidia’s next-gen GPUs could get a major design change, here’s why that’s good news

Nvidia Blackwell chips.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is reportedly working with Nvidia to develop next-generation GPUs utilizing advanced chiplet technology. This collaboration is expected to play an important role in Nvidia’s upcoming "Rubin" architecture, which is rumored to be the successor to the current Blackwell generation.

The shift toward a chiplet-based design marks a notable departure from traditional monolithic GPU structures, offering improved performance, scalability, and cost efficiency. Chiplet technology enables manufacturers to assemble multiple smaller semiconductor dies into a single package, allowing for better yields and reducing production costs.

Nvidia's new G-Assist AI assistant is now available on the Nvidia app, ready for GeForce RTX desktop users to try out. The concept first appeared in 2017 as an April Fool's joke before becoming a real tech demo last year, and now, a real-life product.

The assistant is designed to take care of the ever-growing selection of settings PC users need to deal with, including system settings, game settings, and charting performance statistics.

Prices of Nvidia’s best GPU rise by up to $500 – what it means for you

RTX 5090 vs 4090.

It seems that we're not destined to have some of the best graphics cards at reasonable prices -- at least not just yet. Now, even a manufacturer that was previously known as budget-friendly is racking up the prices in its own online store. The Nvidia partner in question is Zotac, and not only did the company raise the prices of the RTX 5090, but it also removed the card that was previously sold at MSRP.

As spotted by a Reddit user in the r/Nvidia community, the prices of Zotac's versions of the RTX 5090 went up by a whole lot. The flagship card, the Zotac RTX 5090 Amp Extreme Infinity, costs a whopping $3,000. (It should come as no surprise that it's currently sold out, though.)
