NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell — Benchmarks & Specs
Bottom line: how fast is the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell?
At 1440p (Ultra, Native), the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell averages 371 fps in Resident Evil 4, per Gamers Nexus. For local LLM inference it generates 1743.8 tokens/sec running qwen3:14b at FP16 under vllm, per DatabaseMart. In 3DMark Time Spy it scores 51,776 points, per TechSpot. Its 96 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: that capacity fits 70B-parameter open-weight models at Q4 without offloading.
