A new RTX PRO 6000 X has now appeared in the shipping log and, as was to be expected, NVIDIA has once again included a decent memory package. 96 GB GDDR7, connected to a 512-bit interface, should be of interest to the usual target group of AI researchers, render specialists and other workstation users. In the gaming sector, such a memory configuration would of course seem excessive, but this is not about gaming, but about serious computing tasks.
More memory, more energy consumption – everything as usual
Under the hood is a GB202-870 chip, a modified version of the one found in the GeForce RTX 5090. The only difference is that the focus here is not on frames per second, but on calculations per second. It goes without saying that you need more VRAM for this – at 96 GB, it’s no longer a question of “luxurious”, but “necessary”. According to the documents, the total board power (TBP) is 600 W, which is 25 W higher than the RTX 5090. Not a huge leap, but enough to ensure that power consumption is not just a nice side effect, but an integral part of the concept. Anyone using such a card is likely to have a different interest in the electricity bill than the average gamer anyway.
Another model with 48 GB? NVIDIA remains vague
In addition to the flagship with 96 GB, another model with 48 GB GDDR7 memory and 384-bit interface has appeared in the shipping log. This is surprising, as a Blackwell card with this specification was previously unknown. While the RTX PRO 6000 X is certainly based on the GB202, the exact GPU of this 48 GB variant remains a mystery. GB203 would be an obvious choice, but the 384-bit interface does not match the previous Blackwell models. NVIDIA just loves to cause confusion.
Tests in India – market launch uncertain
The fact that the new cards have been shipped to India suggests that they are currently in the test phase. An imminent market launch is therefore not ruled out, but is also not guaranteed. NVIDIA is traditionally tight-lipped when it comes to release schedules, and the typical leaks usually only extend as far as the shipping documentation. Prices? Release date? All still in the fog.
What is certain, however, is that anyone who works seriously with GPUs and needs a lot of memory will probably be interested in these new Blackwell cards. Whether they will really speed up your workflow or simply blow more heat into the room remains to be seen.
