The workstation-focused NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 GPU has officially claimed the title of the fastest gaming graphics card, surpassing the previously reigning GeForce RTX 5090 by a notable margin.
The RTX PRO 6000 GPU Outpaces the GeForce RTX 5090 in Performance
Contrary to NVIDIA’s claims regarding the GeForce RTX 5090 being the premier gaming GPU, recent benchmarks indicate that the RTX PRO 6000 has seized the top spot in terms of performance. This new workstation GPU is not only the latest in the RTX PRO series but also its most powerful iteration to date.
Engineered on the GB202 die with the Blackwell architecture, the RTX PRO 6000 can be viewed as a significant upgrade over the GeForce RTX 5090. With an impressive total of 24, 064 CUDA cores—around 10% more than the 21, 760 cores present in the RTX 5090—this graphics card enhances ray tracing (RT) cores, tensor cores, and raster operations (ROPs).These enhancements allow the RTX PRO 6000 to tap into the full potential of the GB202 architecture. A comparative analysis by Der8auer has illustrated this performance edge through various synthetic and gaming benchmarks.
Indeed, the RTX PRO 6000 consistently outperformed the RTX 5090, showcasing a performance increase of over 10%.For instance, in the 3DMark Time Spy Extreme GT1 test, the PRO 6000 achieved 176.5 FPS compared to the 156.1 FPS of the RTX 5090, yielding an impressive 13% advantage. The performance gap continued in the 3DMark Speedway benchmark, where the RTX PRO 6000 also edged out the RTX 5090 by approximately 8%.However, a standout feature was its efficiency; in the Time Spy test, the power consumption difference was about 11%, but narrowed to just 1% in Speedway tests, illustrating the RTX PRO 6000’s superior power efficiency at higher performance levels.
While the RTX PRO 6000 exhibited clear performance leaps, it occasionally showed increased power consumption without proportionate gains in certain benchmarks. For instance, during gameplay in Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K, the RTX PRO 6000 demonstrated a 14% performance improvement but drew 15% more power than the RTX 5090. Conversely, in titles like Remnant 2, the PRO 6000 consumed only 5% additional power while achieving 11% more average FPS and a significant 17% boost in 1% minimum FPS results.
In conclusion, while the RTX PRO 6000 emerges as the new champion of gaming performance, it is essential to note its prohibitively high price point of $10, 000, which is five times greater than that of the GeForce RTX 5090. With 96 GB of GDDR7 VRAM, this GPU is clearly aimed at professionals rather than the average gamer, underscoring its role as a powerhouse in the workstation category rather than a conventional gaming solution.
