NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell
A professional card for a workstation, with far more memory than a gaming card.
GPU memory
96 GB
GPU memory is the "workspace" a graphics card uses to hold an AI model while it runs. If a model is bigger than the available memory, it simply will not fit — like trying to fit a large book on a shelf that's too small. More in the wiki →
Power draw
600 W
Watts measure how much electricity something draws while it's running. More powerful hardware needs more electricity and produces more heat that has to be cooled. More in the wiki →
Ideal cooling
Air-cooled (blower)
Cools itself by pushing hot air straight out the back of the case; wants a well-ventilated workstation chassis. Running flat out, it turns 600 W of electricity into heat that has to go somewhere. We stock matching cooling gear →
Price
$12,500
This is a current typical market price, not a fixed list price — real prices move with supply and demand. Launch MSRP was $8,565 (March 2025). NVIDIA raised pricing since then; current typical price is about $12,000–$13,250.
What this means in everyday terms
Running one of these draws as much power as about 0.5 average homes running around the clock. A full day of running one uses about 0.16 electric-car batteries worth of energy. An average home draws roughly 1,200 watts around the clock. This compares a build's power draw to that baseline. More in the wiki →
