Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000 GPU tested for gaming, here’s how much better than the 5090 it is
Table of Contents
If you haven’t heard of the RTX Pro 6000, it’s one of Nvidia’s enterprise Blackwell graphics cards that launched a few months ago. The Pro 6000 is a 96GB desktop GPU designed for high-end workstations and AI workflows, a contrast to the usual gaming-focused GPUs you may be more accustomed to.
However, it can be used for gaming, and the card offers even better performance than the flagship RTX 5090, though not nearly enough to justify its high price tag. It has been dubbed the $10,000 card, though some listings reserve a bargain price tag of just over $7,350. Anyway, Gamers Nexus is the latest reviewer to benchmark this enterprise card; let’s take a look at the performance.
RTX Pro 6000 vs RTX 5090 gaming benchmarks in 5 games
Gamers Nexus has done a full teardown of the workstation GPU if you’re interested in the internals. As far as performance goes, we’ve already seen what this card can do thanks to a comparison versus a modded 800W RTX 5090, where the turbo-charged 50 series GPU earned a slight edge in synthetic benchmarks, but let’s turn our attention to stock performance for gaming.

As you can see, we’ve summarized some of the 4K benchmarks above. These tests were conducted paired with the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor. You can check out a full range of tests across 1080p, 1440p, and 4K in the video below if you want to see more results, including ray tracing.
In summary, the workstation GPU manages to outdo the RTX 5090 in many gaming benchmarks, though there isn’t much reason to pick one up solely for gaming when you consider the price difference. Perhaps unless you’re thinking about buying the crazy expensive gold-embedded ASUS RTX 5090, which retails for a relatively similar price. Regardless, considering all the options, we think it’s safe to say that the RTX 5090 is still the best graphics card for 4K right now.
