GPU comparison · Blackwell vs Hopper
NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 vs H100.
Two ways to get 80–96 GB per GPU. The RTX PRO 6000 (Blackwell, PCIe) has more memory, FP4 and RT cores at about half the price; the H100 SXM (Hopper) has twice the memory bandwidth and NVLink between GPUs, which matters for multi-GPU training.

- 1.6 vs 3.35 TB/smemory bandwidth
- $959 vs $1,779per GPU, per month
RTX PRO 6000 vs H100: which one to rent.
Choose the RTX PRO 6000 if
- You serve or fine-tune on single GPUs: 96 GB holds a 70B model in FP8 on one card.
- You want FP4 inference, rendering or video engines on the same card.
- Price matters: $959 per GPU against $1,779 a month.
Choose the H100 if
- You train across several GPUs: NVLink 4 moves 900 GB/s per GPU; the RTX PRO 6000 talks over PCIe.
- Memory bandwidth drives your speed: 3.35 TB/s against 1.6 TB/s.
- You want the most mature LLM software stack, tuned for Hopper.

RTX PRO 6000 vs H100 FAQ.
More on each GPU: NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 · NVIDIA H100.
Is the RTX PRO 6000 an H100 alternative for inference?
Often, yes: it has more memory (96 GB against 80 GB) and FP4 for about half the price. The H100 generates tokens faster per GPU where bandwidth is the limit, and scales better across GPUs.
Which is better for training?
The H100 for multi-GPU training, thanks to NVLink and HBM bandwidth. The RTX PRO 6000 suits single-GPU fine-tuning (LoRA, QLoRA) of large models.
Are the tensor figures comparable?
Not exactly: NVIDIA does not say whether its RTX PRO 6000 Server Edition figures use sparsity, while the H100 figures we show are dense. Compare memory and bandwidth first.
