The fastest and flagship pro GPU from Nvidia is now breaching the $10,000 price tag. That is a chunky rise from the past few months, when the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell was merely expensive rather than comedy expensive.
When the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell first launched, it cost about $8,000. Since then, the card has shuffled steadily towards $10,000 and has now punched through that at some retailers.
Nvidia’s store lists the card at $8,900, although it is currently out of stock. Only the Max-Q variant is available, which is not much comfort.
Microcenter lists the card at $9,999 after a $1,000 discount from $10,999. Amazon has one in stock for $9,449, while the Server Editions are priced above $10,000.
B&H appears to have given up pretending this is normal and lists the card at $11,500.
Newegg currently has the lowest price at $9,349. It is sweetening the deal with a free Gigabyte Brix Mini PC worth almost $700, because nothing says bargain like a five-figure graphics card with a consolation cube.
The price rise has been gradual, but the reason is not exactly mysterious. AI demand is still ravenous and the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell offers a huge 96GB of memory in a single-card design.
For pros running AI workloads, that’s a monster. For everyone else, it looks like a 100-year mortgage application.
The consumer side is not exactly sane either. Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 cards are now starting at $4,000, with many third-party sellers listing them above $6,000. The RTX 5090 remains in stock, which may have less to do with supply and more to do with the price tag scaring enthusiasts back to integrated graphics and prayer.
The AI bros will eat them anyway. A $5,000 RTX 5090 still looks cheap beside an RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, which is the sort of sentence that should make the whole market feel embarrassed.
The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell has 24,064 cores, which is 10.5 per cent more than the RTX 5090’s 21,760 cores. It includes 752 tensor cores and 188 RT cores.
The card offers up to 125 TFLOPs of FP32 performance and 4,000 AI TOPS. But the real reason people are waving corporate credit cards at it is the memory.
The GeForce RTX 5090 has 32GB of GDDR7 memory across a 512-bit bus. The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell triples that with 96GB of GDDR7 ECC memory across the same 512-bit bus.
The cards are configured at 28Gbps, delivering up to 1.8TB/s of total bandwidth.
The RTX PRO 6000 is rated at 600W, which is the full capacity allowed by a single 12V-2×6 16-pin power connector. Nvidia’s thermal team has repurposed a dual-fan, dual-slot cooler to stop the thing turning into an expensive toaster.
Industry reports suggest GPU and PC component prices will continue to rise through 2026 as memory demand squeezes the market and supply chains remain tight.
