GPU comparison · Blackwell vs Blackwell
NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 vs RTX 5090.
Both are Blackwell with GDDR7. The RTX PRO 6000 Server Edition has three times the memory (96 GB with ECC), multi-instance GPU and servers of up to 8 cards; the GeForce RTX 5090 has 32 GB, slightly more bandwidth and costs about a third as much. Per GB of memory they cost about the same.

RTX PRO 6000 vs RTX 5090: which one to rent.
Choose the RTX PRO 6000 if
- You need 96 GB on one card: 70B-class models in FP8 without splitting them.
- You run long services where ECC memory matters, or want to split a card with MIG.
- You need up to 8 cards in one server (768 GB).
Choose the RTX 5090 if
- Your models fit in 32 GB: image and video generation, 7B–30B LLMs quantized.
- You want the lowest price per card: $329 against $959 a month.
- You scale out with parallel workers, up to 4 cards per server.

RTX PRO 6000 vs RTX 5090 FAQ.
More on each GPU: NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 · NVIDIA RTX 5090.
Is the RTX PRO 6000 faster than the RTX 5090?
Not per GB/s: the 5090 has 1.8 TB/s against 1.6 TB/s. The RTX PRO 6000 wins on capacity (96 GB against 32 GB), ECC and multi-card servers, which decide what you can run on one card.
Which is cheaper per GB of GPU memory?
About the same: $9.99 per GB per month on the RTX PRO 6000, $10.28 on the RTX 5090.
Can the RTX 5090 run in a data center?
We rent it in dedicated servers of 1, 2 or 4 cards. It has no ECC and no MIG; for services that need them, the RTX PRO 6000 is the data-center card.
