During GTC 2025, Nvidia unveiled its RTX Pro Blackwell series of workstation and server GPUs, a significant leap forward for professionals across AI, technical, creative, engineering, and design disciplines.
From AI and complex simulations to immersive extended reality, 3D design, and the development of physical AI for autonomous systems, the RTX Pro Blackwell series places unprecedented compute power, memory capacity, and data throughput at the fingertips of professionals, whether on desktops, mobile workstations, or within data centres.
The new lineup is comprehensive, featuring:
- Datacenter GPU: Nvidia RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Server Edition
- Desktop GPUs: Nvidia RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition (Founder's Edition cooler design), Nvidia RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Max-Q Workstation Edition (blower-style cooler), Nvidia RTX Pro 5000 Blackwell, Nvidia RTX Pro 4500 Blackwell, Nvidia RTX Pro 4000 Blackwell.
- Laptop GPUs: Nvidia RTX Pro 5000 Blackwell, Nvidia RTX Pro 4000 Blackwell, Nvidia RTX Pro 3000 Blackwell, Nvidia RTX Pro 2000 Blackwell, Nvidia RTX Pro 1000 Blackwell, Nvidia RTX Pro 500 Blackwell.
Key technological advancements include a new Nvidia Streaming Multiprocessor for enhanced AI-augmented graphics, fourth-generation RT Cores for photorealistic rendering, fifth-generation Tensor Cores for advanced AI processing, larger and faster GDDR7 memory, and improved video encoding and decoding capabilities. PCIe 5.0 and DisplayPort 2.1 support ensures high-speed data transfer and high-resolution display output, while Multiple-Instance GPU (MIG) technology enables efficient resource allocation in data centres and workstations. The laptop models benefit from Nvidia's Blackwell Max-Q technologies, optimising performance and battery life using AI.
The RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Server Edition, designed for data centre deployments, features a passive cooling architecture and supports up to eight GPUs per server. Nvidia vGPU software support for this server edition is coming in H2 2025, enabling AI workloads in virtualised environments. Nvidia RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Server Edition will be the first to become available (bare-metal and cloud systems), followed by Workstation and Max-Q editions in April. The rest of the desktop lineup will be available starting this summer. The laptop lineup will come out later this year.
