Nvidia doubles RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell to $16,000 amid GPU demand surge
Nvidia's 96GB workstation card now costs $16K—double its original $8K pre-order.
Deep Dive
Gavin Baker recently said in an interview that "multiple private companies are planning on spending at least 2x more per GPU for compute as contracts roll-off and some have spoken about this publicly." With prices already trending upward, the question on everyone's mind: How long before DGX Sparks also double in price?
Key Points
- Nvidia now lists RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell at $16,000, up from under $8,000 at pre-order launch.
- The 96GB VRAM card targets AI training, inference, and large-model workloads, making it a key tool for professionals.
- Analyst Gavin Baker says multiple private companies will spend at least 2x more per GPU as contracts expire, raising the odds of price hikes on DGX Spark and other Nvidia products.
Why It Matters
Soaring GPU costs could reshape enterprise AI budgets, making hardware a larger strategic bet than ever.
