Nvidia Unveils RTX Pro Blackwell GPU Lineup for Professionals

Nvidia today announced its RTX Pro Blackwell series of GPUs, designed for professional designers, developers, data scientists, and creatives. The lineup includes a flagship RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell GPU for workstations, along with other desktop and laptop variants, and a datacenter version of the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell. The workstation RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell boasts 96GB of GDDR7 memory and a 600-watt power draw (slightly higher than the RTX 5090's 575 watts). It features PCIe Gen 5 support, DisplayPort 2.1, and the latest Blackwell generation RT and Tensor cores. This GPU targets professionals working on game development, AI workloads, and other demanding tasks requiring significant VRAM and processing power. Max-Q and server variants are also planned. Nvidia is replacing its previous RTX numbering scheme and Quadro branding with the new RTX Pro branding. Also launching are the RTX Pro 5000 and 4000 Blackwell for desktops and laptops, and the RTX Pro 4500 Blackwell for desktops. Laptop versions will include 3000, 2000, 1000, and 500 models, featuring up to 24GB of VRAM and Nvidia's latest Blackwell Max-Q technologies for AI-powered performance and power optimization. These laptops will compete with AMD's Strix Halo chips, which offer 128GB of unified memory. Pricing for the RTX Pro 6000 workstation variant hasn't been revealed, but availability begins in April from distributors like PNY and TD Synnex, with OEMs like Dell, HP, and Lenovo following in May. The server variant will be available from Cisco, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Supermicro soon, with cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and CoreWeave offering it later this year. The rest of the RTX Pro Blackwell workstation lineup arrives this summer from Boxx, Dell, HP, and Lenovo, with laptop variants shipping in Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Razer devices later this year.
