Speeds are estimates for a single request — one conversation at a time — calculated from memory bandwidth, model size and quantisation. Real throughput varies with the inference runtime and its version. Figures published by hardware vendors measure many simultaneous requests and are much higher.

What the numbers mean
Why memory is the number that matters here
Memory
96 GB
Bandwidth
1,790 GB/s
Largest model
dots.llm1
With 96 GB of GDDR7, the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server is in the class of hardware that holds the largest open-weight models without splitting them across machines. Roughly 86.4 GB of that is reachable by an inference runtime once the driver takes its share.
Bandwidth is 1,790 GB/s across a 512-bit bus. Generating a token means reading every weight once, so that figure sets the pace more than any other number here, and at this level text arrives faster than most people read.
That comes from a 1.75 GHz memory clock across the bus width above. Widening the bus and raising the clock are the two levers a manufacturer has, which is why a card with unremarkable cores can still generate quickly.
In practice that combination tops out at dots.llm1 — 142B, compressed to IQ4_XS, generating around 13.1 tokens per second.
The chip and how it was built
The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server is built on the GB202 graphics processor, using NVIDIA's Blackwell 2.0 architecture, as part of the Server Blackwell(Bxx) generation.
The chip is manufactured by TSMC, on a 5 nm process, with a die measuring 750 mm², holding 92.2 billion transistors. A smaller process generally means more performance for the same power, though for language models it matters far less than the memory subsystem.
It was released in March 2025, roughly 1 years ago. Inference software support tends to follow hardware by a year or two, so a card of this age generally has mature, well-optimised code paths available to it.
Compute throughput, and why it matters less than it looks
FP16
126 TFLOPS
FP64
2 TFLOPS
Tensor cores
752
On paper the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server reaches 126 TFLOPS at half precision and 126 TFLOPS at single precision. These are peak figures no real workload sustains, and generating text reaches only a small fraction of them — decoding is limited by memory rather than arithmetic, which is why a card can look enormously powerful here and still produce tokens at an ordinary rate.
Double-precision throughput is 2 TFLOPS. It has no bearing on running a language model — no inference runtime uses it — but it separates datacentre parts from consumer ones, since the latter deliberately restrict it.
The card carries 752 tensor cores across 188 streaming multiprocessors. These accelerate the matrix arithmetic at the heart of a transformer, and they are what make prompt processing — reading a long document before answering — dramatically faster than it would otherwise be.
Clocks run from 1.59 GHz at base to 2.62 GHz boosted. Worth far less here than on a gaming benchmark: raising the clock speeds up the arithmetic, and the arithmetic is not what generation is waiting on.
Cache and processing units
The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server has 128 KB of L1 cache, backed by 128 MB of L2. Cache absorbs a share of the memory traffic that would otherwise hit the main bus, which is the one place on this page where a number other than bandwidth quietly affects generation speed — a large L2 lets more of the working set stay close to the cores.
There are 24,064 shading units, 752 texture mapping units, and 192 render output units. These drive graphics workloads and contribute to prompt processing, but they sit idle for much of the time a model spends generating a reply.
Power, size and installation
Power draw
600 W
The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server is rated at 600 W, with a 1,000 W power supply suggested for the whole system. Running a language model keeps a card busy in bursts rather than continuously — it draws hard while generating and idles between requests — so sustained draw over a working day is usually well below the rated figure.
The board occupies a dual-slot, measuring 267 mm long, and needs 1x 16-pin. Worth checking against the case and power supply already in the machine, since the largest cards need considerably more of both than a typical desktop provides.
It connects over PCIe 5.0 x16. The interface governs how quickly a model is loaded from disk into the card, not how fast it runs once there, so a narrower link costs a few seconds at startup and nothing thereafter.

Where this card produces tokens quickest. Smaller models dominate here, because generating each token means reading the whole model out of memory once.
Step by step
How to work out the tokens per second of a RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server
You do not have to calculate anything by hand — the gputps.com calculator on this page has already worked it out for every model this card can hold. Reading off the answer takes six steps.
-
01
Start with the model, not the specification
Every one of the 609 models this RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server runs is in the table above. Search narrows it by name or by size.
-
02
Set the context length you will actually use
Drag the slider to the conversation length you plan to work at. The cache grows with the conversation, and on 96 GB it is often what pushes a large model over the edge.
-
03
Set a minimum quality if you need one
Each model is shown at the best compression this card can hold. A minimum quality hides the ones that only fit by being squeezed further than you would accept.
-
04
Read the speed and the range
Speeds come with error bars for a reason. The best case here is 758 tok/s on Gemma 3 QAT 1B, and which inference software you use moves that by thirty to fifty per cent.
-
05
Check the headroom before you decide
Compare what each model needs with the 96 GB this card provides. Tight means it works today; comfortable means it still works when the conversation grows.
-
06
Open the model to compare cards
Each model page repeats this calculation for the whole catalogue. Worth a look before deciding: it shows what else runs the same model, and how the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server compares.
Answers
RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server — common questions
How much power does a RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server use?
The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server has a rated board power of 600 W, and a 1,000 W system power supply is suggested. Generating text draws hard in bursts and idles between requests, so average consumption over a working session is normally well below the rated figure.
How much cache does a RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server have?
The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server has 128 KB of L1 cache, and 128 MB of L2 cache. Cache absorbs part of the memory traffic that would otherwise reach the main bus, so a larger L2 gives a modest lift to generation speed beyond what bandwidth alone predicts.
What are the TFLOPS of a RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server?
The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server is rated at 126 TFLOPS at half precision and 126 TFLOPS at single precision. These are peak arithmetic ceilings rather than achievable rates, and text generation reaches only a small fraction of them because it is limited by memory bandwidth instead.
How many tensor cores does a RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server have?
The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server has 752 tensor cores across 188 streaming multiprocessors. They accelerate the matrix arithmetic a transformer is built from, which mainly speeds up processing a long prompt rather than producing the reply.
Does the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server support CUDA?
Yes. The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server reports CUDA compute capability 12.0. Capability 7.0 and above has tensor cores, which modern inference software uses; below that it falls back to slower code paths for quantised models.
What bus interface does the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server use?
It uses PCIe 5.0 x16. This governs how fast a model is loaded onto the card rather than how fast it runs once loaded, so it costs a few seconds at startup and nothing during generation.
Is the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server good for running local AI models?
Its memory is large enough for models most desktop hardware cannot touch and its bandwidth is high enough to generate text faster than most people read. In total it runs 609 of the models we track. Whether that is enough depends entirely on which model you want — the table above answers that directly.
Can a RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server run a model that does not fit in its memory?
Only partly. Layers beyond the 96 GB sit in system memory and run at a fraction of the speed, so a mostly-offloaded model is rarely worth using. Every figure here assumes it is fully resident on the card.
Would two RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server cards be twice as fast?
Pairing RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server cards buys headroom rather than pace: 192 GB of combined memory, at roughly the same generation speed as one.
What AI models can a RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server run?
609 of the 679 open-weight language models we track fit on a RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server and can be run locally on it. The table on this page lists every one, with the memory it needs, the quantisation it runs at and an estimated generation speed.
What is the largest AI model a RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server can run?
The largest model in our catalogue that fits on a RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server is dots.llm1 at 142B parameters, compressed to IQ4_XS. It generates roughly 13.1 tokens per second and needs about 78.3 GB of the card's memory.
How many tokens per second does a RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server produce?
It depends on the model. On a RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server the fastest model we track is Gemma 3 QAT 1B at about 758 tokens per second, while larger models run proportionally slower because each token requires reading the whole model out of memory once. Speeds are estimates for a single conversation at a time.
Can a RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server run a 7B model?
Yes. For example a RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server runs Multi-Token Prediction 7B at Q8_0, using about 7.9 GB of memory and generating around 113 tokens per second.
Can a RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server run a 13B model?
Yes. For example a RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server runs DeepSeekMoE-16B at Q8_0, using about 17.5 GB of memory and generating around 263 tokens per second.
Can a RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server run a 30B model?
Yes. For example a RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server runs ERNIE-4.5-VL-28B-A3B at Q8_0, using about 29.2 GB of memory and generating around 150 tokens per second.
Can a RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server run a 70B model?
Yes. For example a RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server runs Qwen3-Coder-Next at Q8_0, using about 80.7 GB of memory and generating around 52.7 tokens per second.
How much memory does a RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server have?
A RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server has 96 GB of GDDR7 memory. Around a tenth of that is reserved by the inference runtime and the driver, leaving roughly 86.4 GB available for a model and its conversation.
What is the memory bandwidth of a RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server?
The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server has 1,790 GB/s of memory bandwidth, across a 512-bit memory bus. This is the single best predictor of how fast it generates text, because producing each token means reading the entire model out of memory once.
What type of memory does a RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server use?
It uses GDDR7 clocked at 1.75 GHz. HBM types are found on datacentre accelerators and carry far more bandwidth than the GDDR used on desktop cards, which is why they generate tokens considerably faster at the same capacity.
Who makes the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server?
The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server is a NVIDIA product, with the chip manufactured by TSMC, on a 5 nm process.
When was the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server released?
The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server was released in March 2025.
