The new NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition professional graphics card with 96GB of video memory has shown impressive performance not only in work tasks, but also in games. Despite the fact that the card is designed for workstations, the first owners compared it to the top-of-the-line RTX 5090 in more mundane tasks. At the heart of NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition is GB202 graphics chip with 24,064 CUDA cores versus 21760 cores in RTX 5090. Power consumption of the professional graphics card is higher - 600W vs. 575W. Reddit user under the nickname Privaterbok tested the novelty in a number of benchmarks in a basic configuration and with a ?light? overclocking of CPU ![]() Time spy: 51,776 / 54,300; Time spy extreme: 28,009 / 30,019; Steel nomad: 16,080 / 16,804; Portal Royal: 39,938 / 42,374; Geekbench 6: OpenCL - 41,0031 / 43,4166, Vulkan - 41,2310 / 43,1723. At standard settings RTX PRO 6000 was 9-10% faster than RTX 5090, and after overclocking the gap increased to 14%. However, RTX PRO 6000 has a number of limitations: it requires specialized drivers, so it doesn't support different GeForce Game Ready features and optimizations designed for games. But even taking this into account, the video card shows itself perfectly in games. For example, in Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K resolution, maximum graphics settings, ray tracing at RTX Ultra and DLSS 4 in ?Auto? mode the card produced an average of 127 fps. With ray tracing activated the result was 92 fps, and with DLSS 4 disabled - 34 fps. However, we should take into account that NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition costs about 8000 dollars, which is significantly more expensive than the price of RTX 5090. |
