Nvidia's US Marketplace lists the 96GB RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell (its current generation GPU architecture) workstation card at $16,000, up from sub $8,000 pre orders in March 2025, with no public statement on either hike.
Nvidia's US Marketplace now lists the 96GB RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition at $16,000, a near-doubling from sub-$8,000 pre-orders in March 2025. This is a workstation-class card, not a consumer gaming GPU, with 96GB of GDDR7 memory aimed at AI training, simulation, and content-production workloads.
The price has stepped up in three moves: $7,673 at pre-order in March 2025, $8,435 at launch in April 2025, then $13,250 in June 2026 and $16,000 in August 2026. That is a cumulative jump of roughly 87% in 17 months, all without an Nvidia announcement. VideoCardz and other outlets confirmed the latest step.
Tom's Hardware attributes the pressure to an ongoing component and memory crisis. Third-party retailers have moved at different speeds: Newegg at $13,998 and B&H at $15,499 at time of writing, suggesting transactable street price still sits below Nvidia's $16,000 list. The card's other variants, a 300W Max-Q blower and a passively cooled server edition, track the same arc.
What Nvidia has not explained: why a single workstation SKU needed two hikes in two months, and whether the rest of the RTX PRO line is on the same path.
