Nvidia RTX Pro 6000 beats the RTX 5090 in gaming
Overclocking specialist and TechTuber Roman ‘der8auer’ Hartung has demonstrated that Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell workstation graphics card, priced at around £8,000, can outperform consumer-grade GPUs in gaming, even without a Game Ready Driver.
Getting one of these graphics cards isn’t easy, especially considering its price. However, der8auer was able to get one and test it thoroughly. In his tests, the RTX Pro 6000 was benchmarked against the RTX 5090 and RTX 4090 in several demanding games at 4K resolution with maximum settings, although Ray Tracing was switched off for the Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark.
The results showed significant performance gains over the RTX 50 series flagship, with the RTX Pro 6000 being 14% quicker on average than the RTX 5090 in Cyberpunk 2077, with 13% better 1% lows. However, it consumed 15% more power. In Star Wars Outlaws and Remnant 2, the RTX Pro 6000 was 11% faster than the RTX 5090 in both cases. Lastly, in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, the RTX Pro 6000 was 3% quicker than the RTX 5090, but as der8auer pointed out, that could be a driver issue.
As a reminder, the RTX Pro 6000 is built on the same GB202 GPU as the RTX 5090 but boasts more CUDA cores (24,064 vs. 21,760), along with additional TMUs, ROPs, Tensor cores, and RT cores. Another big differentiator is its massive 96GB GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, compared to the RTX 5090’s 32GB.
KitGuru says: If you had the money to spend on an Nvidia RTX Pro 6000, would you get one to use only for gaming?
