Why buy a car when you can buy a NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 for $11,000 in Japan or €9,000 in Europe! (palm-on-face)
Taken from TPU … Despite featuring the biggest GB202 configuration—24,064 CUDA cores distributed across 188 streaming multiprocessors running at up to 2,617 MHz, paired with 96 GB of GDDR7 ECC memory—the RTX PRO 6000 ‘Blackwell’ GPU from NVIDIA is yet to have an official launch date or pricing disclosed. Early European retailer listings show the card starting at €8,982, including 21 percent VAT. Some vendors are already asking for more than €10,900. However, business customers evaluating net costs can anticipate a significant saving, with a rough estimate of €7,430 before tax, subject to local tax regulations and import fees. NVIDIA is expected to offer the RTX PRO 6000 in several variants, including Workstation, Server, and Max‑Q editions that tailor power envelopes and cooling designs to different professional environments.
In Japan, pre‑release listings place the RTX PRO 6000 at ¥1,630,600 (around $11,326), reflecting a similar premium level. The appearance of these price tags suggests that initial shipments have quietly reached distributors well before any formal announcement. One Redditor even got his hands on it early, preparing for a trial run. Of course, before NVIDIA releases RTX PRO-optimized drivers, the performance will lag behind the gaming GeForce RTX 5090 SKU. Geared toward enterprise workstations and professional workloads that demand high memory capacity and massive compute performance, this pricing profile distinguishes the RTX PRO 6000 from gaming-grade SKUs. Still, it is below the server-grade GB200-based Blackwell GPUs aimed at AI and HPC workloads.
