Two Nvidia workstation GPUs, one Turing and one Blackwell: 16 GB GDDR6 against 96 GB GDDR7, 3.6x the memory bandwidth on the RTX PRO 6000, and NVLink 50 GB/s on the RTX 5000 where the RTX PRO 6000 is PCIe only.

Price comparison
Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.
| Billing | RTX 5000 | RTX PRO 6000 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | -- /GPU/hr from $0.60 | $2.20 /GPU/hr from $0.66 | |
| Reserved | No reserved listings | $1.79 /GPU/hr from $0.48 (1 mo) | |
| Spot | No spot listings | $1.29 /GPU/hr from $0.16 |
Heads up: A provider's own page may quote a different figure, for example on tax, region or a promotion. A monthly-only plan shows a derived hourly rate. Medians are across providers, one vote each, so a large catalog does not outweigh a small one. No median for on-demand on the RTX 5000: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
