NVIDIA Blackwell Technology Comes to Workstations and Data Centers
RTX PRO Blackwell GPUs unlock the potential of generative, agentic, and physical AI by delivering exceptional performance, efficiency, and scale.
NVIDIA RTX PRO Blackwell GPUs feature:
- NVIDIA Streaming Multiprocessor: Offers up to 1.5x faster throughput and new neural shaders that integrate AI inside programmable shaders to drive the next decade of AI-augmented graphics innovations.
- Fourth-Generation RT Cores: Delivers up to 2x the performance of the previous generation to create photoreal scenes and 3D designs with optimizations for NVIDIA RTX Mega Geometry.
- Fifth-Generation Tensor Cores: Delivers up to 4,000 AI trillion operations per second and adds support for FP4 precision and NVIDIA DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation, enabling a new era of AI-powered graphics and the ability to run and prototype larger AI models faster.
- Larger, Faster GDDR7 Memory: Boosts bandwidth and capacity – up to 96GB for workstations and servers and up to 24GB on laptops. This improves application performance and supports larger, more complex datasets, enabling efficient processing for 3D modeling, AI tasks, and large-scale virtual reality environments.
- Ninth-Generation NVIDIA NVENC: Accelerates video encoding speed and improves quality for professional video applications with added support for 4:2:2 encoding.
- Sixth-Generation NVIDIA NVDEC: Provides up to double the H.264 decoding throughput and supports 4:2:2 H.264 and HEVC decode. Professionals can improve video playback quality, speed up video data processing, and utilize AI-assisted video editing tools for enhanced efficiency.
- Fifth-Generation PCIe: Fifth-generation PCI Express offers twice the bandwidth of the previous version, improving data transfer from CPU memory and performance for data-intensive tasks.
- DisplayPort 2.1: Supports displays with up to 4K resolution at 480Hz and 8K at 165Hz. Increased bandwidth allows for easy multi-monitor setups. High dynamic range and enhanced color depth offer better color accuracy for video editing, 3D design, and live streaming tasks.
- Multi-Instance GPU (MIG): The RTX PRO 6000 data center and desktop GPUs and 5000 series desktop GPUs feature MIG technology, which allows a single GPU to be divided into multiple instances. The 6000 series supports up to four cases, while the 5000 series supports up to two. The design helps isolate workloads to prevent interference, ensuring secure and efficient use of resources.
The new laptop GPUs also support the latest NVIDIA Blackwell Max-Q technologies, continually optimizing laptop performance and power efficiency with AI.
NVIDIA RTX PRO Blackwell GPUs use AI-powered tools to speed up the creation of visuals, virtual replicas, and immersive experiences. These GPUs improve 3D design and modeling workflows, giving designers and engineers strong performance for rendering, modeling, and visualization tasks.
Built for enterprise data centers, the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition features a passive cooling thermal design system and supports up to eight GPUs per server. It is designed to handle demanding tasks in AI, scientific research, and visual computing. The server offers dependable performance for healthcare, manufacturing, retail, media, and entertainment industries.
In addition, this powerful data center GPU can be combined with NVIDIA vGPU software to power AI workloads across virtualized environments and deliver high-performance virtual workstation instances to remote users. NVIDIA vGPU support for the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPU is expected in the latter half of this year.
“Foster + Partners has tested the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q Workstation Edition GPU on Cyclops, our GPU-based ray-tracing product,” said Martha Tsigkari, head of applied research and development and senior partner at Foster + Partners. “The new NVIDIA Blackwell GPU has outperformed everything we have tested before. For example, when using it with Cyclops, it has performed at 5x the speed of NVIDIA RTX A6000 GPUs. Rendering speeds also increased 5x, allowing tools like Cyclops to provide feedback on how well our design solutions perform in real time as we design them and resulting in intuitive yet informed decision-making from early conceptual stages.”
“Early evaluation of the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell technology by GE HealthCare’s engineering team has found the potential for up to 2x GPU processing time improvement on reconstruction algorithms, which could lead to significant benefit to customers,” said Rekha Ranganathan, senior executive and general manager of platforms and digital solutions at GE HealthCare.
“NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition GPUs enable incredibly sharp and photorealistic graphics,” said Jeff Hammoud, chief design officer at Rivian. “In conjunction with a Varjo XR4 headset and Autodesk VRED, the system delivered the level of crispness necessary for immersive automotive design reviews. With NVIDIA Blackwell support for PCIe Gen 5, we used two powerful 600W GPUs via VR SLI, allowing us to achieve the highest pixel density and the most stunning visuals we have ever experienced in VR.”
“The 96GB memory and massive AI processing power in the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition GPU has boosted our productivity up to 3x with AI models like Llama 3.3-70B and Mixtral 8x7b, the NVIDIA Omniverse platform and industrial copilots,” said Shaun Greene, director of industry solutions at SoftServe. “We’ve seen immediate performance improvements and, using workstations, can now handle AI workloads that were previously only possible in the cloud or on rack servers — unlocking new possibilities for interactive demos and production workloads in retail, manufacturing, and industrial edge applications.”
RTX PRO GPUs run on the NVIDIA AI platform and feature larger memory capacity and the latest Tensor Cores to accelerate a deep ecosystem of AI-accelerated applications built on NVIDIA CUDA and RTX technology. With everything from the AI-based content creation tools and reasoning models, such as the NVIDIA Llama Nemotron Reason family of models and NVIDIA NIM microservices, inferencing is faster than ever. With over 400 NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries, developers can build, optimize, deploy, and scale new AI applications from workstations to the data center or cloud.
Enterprises can fast-track their AI development and deployments by prototyping locally with an NVIDIA RTX PRO GPU and the NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA AI Enterprise platforms, NVIDIA Blueprints, and NVIDIA NIM, which gives access to inference microservices backed by enterprise-level support. They can run these applications at scale using the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition. This hardware adequately accelerates complex AI and visual computing tasks in enterprise environments.
