NVIDIA´s upcoming RTX PRO 6000 ´Blackwell´ GPU, featuring the largest GB202 configuration to date, has appeared in early retailer listings across Europe and Japan, despite the lack of an official launch date or pricing announcement. The card is equipped with 24,064 CUDA cores distributed over 188 streaming multiprocessors, running at clock speeds up to 2,617 MHz, and boasts 96 GB of GDDR7 ECC memory. Early pricing in Europe shows the card starting at €8,982 including VAT, with some vendors listing it for more than €10,900. For business customers, the pre-tax price may be closer to €7,430, depending on regional tax regulations and import duties. Japanese listings cite a pre‑release price of ¥1,630,600, which translates to a similar premium.
The emergence of these high-end workstation cards in retail channels suggests that initial shipments have begun reaching distributors ahead of NVIDIA´s formal announcement. Notably, at least one early adopter has acquired the GPU in Japan and is preparing for testing, even though performance may currently lag behind gaming-oriented cards like the GeForce RTX 5090 until NVIDIA releases optimized PRO drivers. The RTX PRO 6000 is designed for enterprise workstations and professional environments where memory capacity and compute performance are critical, positioning it distinctly above gaming SKUs but below server-class Blackwell GPUs such as those powered by the GB200 for Artificial Intelligence and high-performance computing workloads.
NVIDIA is expected to deliver several variants of the RTX PRO 6000, including Workstation, Server, and Max‑Q editions, each with tailored power envelopes and custom cooling solutions to suit various enterprise deployments. This chip’s arrival in early retail channels underscores continuing high demand in the professional segment for powerful, large-memory graphics solutions capable of supporting rendering, data science, and simulation at scale. With pricing set above conventional gaming cards, the RTX PRO 6000 is poised to capture the market for compute-intensive professional tasks as soon as official drivers and broad availability are announced.
