At GTC 2025, NVIDIA has announced the newly-rebranded RTX PRO Blackwell series GPUs designed for workstation and servers. Notably, the flagship workstation model is the one leaked previously featuring a similar cooler design as the GeForce RTX 5090, and that card’s name is – holds breath – NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition.

Besides that, the lineup includes the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition for datacenters with full passive cooling, desktop GPUs such as the aforementioned RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition, plus the rest that uses standard blower-fan cooler, including RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q Workstation Edition, RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell, RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell, and RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell. Laptop GPUs is also announced, ranging from the RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell to the RTX PRO 500 Blackwell.
In particular, the name RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell is shared across three form factors: Server Edition with passive cooling meant for server rack installations (TGP rated between 400-600W), Workstation Edition that uses the same dual flow-through cooling as the RTX 5090 with full 600W TGP, and the Max-Q Workstation Edition that retains the classic blower-style cooler (for multi-GPU setups) that runs on a relatively limited 300W TGP. In both Workstation variants, the GPU specs are the same: 24,064 CUDA cores and 96GB of GDDR7 ECC VRAM with ~1.8TB/s bandwidth.
Like the GeForce cards, these new RTX PRO Blackwell GPUs incorporate upgraded streaming multiprocessor for higher throughput, fourth-generation RT Cores, and fifth-generation Tensor Cores with support for FP4 precision and DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation. They also feature larger GDDR7 memory with ECC, ninth-generation NVENC for video encoding, and sixth-generation NVDEC for video decoding; the series also supports PCIe Gen 5, DisplayPort 2.1, and Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) for secure resource allocation.
NVIDIA says the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition will be available in server configurations from partners such as Cisco, Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Lenovo, and Supermicro. Cloud service providers, including AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, will offer instances powered by the GPU later this year.
The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition and Max-Q Workstation Edition will be available through global distributors in April and from manufacturers such as BOXX, Dell, HP, Lambda, and Lenovo in May, while the RTX PRO 5000, RTX PRO 4500, and RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell GPUs will be available in the summer, with RTX PRO Blackwell laptop GPUs set to be available from Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Razer later this year.
Pokdepinion: Given the Workstation Edition is still a dual-slot card, can it stack normally in multi-GPU setups though?
