RTX Pro 6000 crowned the ‘new gaming king’ — but its $10,000 price tag makes the all-gold Dhahab RTX 5090 seem cheap

Today, overclocking expert and TechTuber, Roman ’der8auer’ Hartung, revealed the gaming performance that an Nvidia RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell graphics card can deliver. We’ve seen some gaming-like benchmark results for Nvidia’s most powerful workstation GPU before, but der8auer also takes this $10,000 professional card though games like Cyberpunk 2077, Star Wars Outlaws, Remnant 2, and Assassin’s Creed Mirage. These scores are compared with RTX 5090 and RTX 4090 cards in the same rig. The result? Der8auer crowns the RTX 6000 “the new gaming king.”

In his 15-minute video, der8auer admits he hopes to use this RTX Pro 6000 in his personal rig, and enjoy the resulting gaming sessions. Before getting into the tests, the TechTuber reminds us that this card doesn’t have a Game Ready Driver, it only runs with its workstation driver. But this doesn’t seem to be a big issue.

The first game dissected is Cyberpunk 2077, played in 4K with max settings (no ray tracing). Der8auer’s charts show average FPS, power draw, and 1% minimum FPS for each sample. Throughout these tests, the workstation card is pitted against the RTX 5090 and 4090 – these sit among the best graphics cards of recent years.

As you can see, the RTX Pro 6000 is 14% faster than the RTX 5090, on average, and it has 13% better 1% lows in this title. However, it consumes 15% more power. If you are splurging about $10,000 on such a GPU, though, you might not care too much about the slight wrinkle in the power consumption comparison.
