High-End Graphics Card RTX Pro 6000 Reigns Supreme as Gaming Champion, Though Its $10,000 Cost Makes Dhahab RTX 5090's Thousand-Dollar Billing Seem Economic
Unleashing the Power: A Gaming Extravaganza with Nvidia's RTX Pro 6000
Gearing up for a thrilling ride, tech enthusiast Roman 'der8auer' Hartung has put the Nvidia RTX Pro 6000 through its paces in a series of jaw-dropping gaming tests. This $10,000 workstation-grade graphic powerhouse has been unleashed on popular games like Cyberpunk 2077, Star Wars Outlaws, Remnant 2, and Assassin's Creed Mirage, leaving even its mighty counterparts, such as the RTX 5090 and RTX 4090, in the dust.
In his gripping 15-minute video, der8auer shares the exhilarating experience of pushing the RTX Pro 6000 to its limits. With an absence of a dedicated Game Ready Driver, this professional powerhouse is only equipped with a workstation driver, yet der8auer finds this inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.
First up is Cyberpunk 2077 in 4K and top-tier settings, no ray tracing included. The stunning results boast an average frame rate that outperforms the RTX 5090 by a whopping 14% and delivers a smoother gaming experience with a 13% improvement in 1% lows. Despite consuming 15% more power, the RTX Pro 6000 effortlessly maintains its reign as the undisputed ruler of gaming performance.
Star Wars Outlaws, Remnant 2, and Assassin's Creed Mirage were the next contenders in this high-stakes gaming showdown. The RTX Pro 6000 continued to dominate, demonstrating 11% faster performance in the former two games and a more modest 3% improvement over the RTX 5090 in the latter, although der8auer attributes this subtle difference to possible driver optimizations.
Curious to delve deeper into the RTX Pro 6000's gaming prowess, der8auer undertakes a plethora of additional tests and comparisons that you can explore in his captivating video above.
The Spec Sheet: A Glimpse into the RTX Pro 6000's Hardware
For a more comprehensive understanding of the RTX Pro 6000's technical aspects, refer to our previous coverage.
