RTX 6000: between the already available Pro version and the future gamer generation

RTX 6000 RTX 6000 Ada Pro

When we talk about RTX 6000, there are two very different realities: 👉 On one hand, the RTX 6000 Ada, a professional graphics card (also known as RTX Pro 6000) already on the market, designed for workstations. 👉 On the other hand, rumors about a GeForce RTX 6000 intended for gamers, which could arrive after the RTX 50 series, probably around 2026-2027. In this article, we will delve deeply into both worlds: the existing RTX 6000 Pro, and the NVIDIA filings that hint at the future NVIDIA RTX 6000 generation on the gaming side.

NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada (RTX Pro 6000): the pro card already on the market

Before fantasizing about a hypothetical GeForce RTX 6000, let's start with the only official RTX 6000 currently available: the NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation.

🔎 Technical specifications

  • Architecture : Ada Lovelace
  • CUDA cores : 18 176
  • RT Cores : 142 (3rd generation)
  • Tensor Cores : 568 (4th generation)
  • Memory : 48 GB of GDDR6 ECC
  • Bandwidth : 960 GB/s (bus 384-bit)
  • Consumption (TDP): 300 W

Average price: between 8,000 and 8,500 €

👉 Clearly, we are dealing with a card designed for scientific computing, AI, 3D rendering, or heavy video editing.

🎮 And for the game?

In game, the RTX 6000 Ada has nothing to envy to high-end GeForce:

  • More than 80 FPS in 4K Ultra on AAA titles
  • Monstrous performances in ray tracing
  • Ability to handle 8K without any issues

But be careful: its stratospheric price and its "workstation" orientation mean that it is not at all optimized for a classic gaming PC.

This is where the confusion arises: many type " RTX 6000 » thinking about a GeForce gaming card. But in reality, the only RTX 6000 available today is a RTX Pro 6000 Ada .

RTX 6000 (gamers): the fantasized card

Let's now move on to the topic that the community dreams about: the GeForce RTX 6000 gaming-oriented.

Where are we?

For the moment, no official announcement from NVIDIA. But:

  • Deposits with the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) revealed several names, including RTX 6090, RTX 6090 Ti, and RTX 6090 SUPER .
  • These deposits cover the entire future RTX 60 series, including the RTX 6080, 6070, 6060, 6050, with SUPER and Ti variants.

👉 NVIDIA is already locking in its future model names, probably to position itself against the AMD's RDNA 5 .

Rubin Architecture: the future of RTX 6000 gamers

According to the leaks, the series GeForce RTX 60 (the RTX 6000 gamer would be the spearhead) will be based on the Rubin architecture, engraved in 3 nm.

Expected improvements:

  • DLSS 5 : new generation of super-resolution, even more efficient than DLSS 3.5
  • Ray tracing boosted : more numerous and more optimized RT cores
  • GDDR7 Memory or even HBM4 on certain Rubin variants
  • Improved energy efficiency (but TDP still high on the very high end, up to 600 W)

RTX 6090: a showcase that sets the tone

The rumors about the NVIDIA RTX 6090 give us a glimpse of what could be a GeForce RTX 6000 gamer:

  • ~25,000 CUDA cores
  • 32 GB of GDDR7
  • Memory bus 512-bit (~1.5 TB/s of bandwidth)
  • Frequencies boost to over 3.1 GHz
  • TDP around 550–600 W
  • Benefits of +70 to 80% vs RTX 5090 expected in 4K with ray tracing

In short, a racing beast that could make the 4K 240 Hz or even 8K 120 Hz finally playable without compromise.

The AMD competition: RX 10090 XT (RDNA 5)

Faced with NVIDIA, AMD is already preparing its response with RDNA 5, including the rumor of a Radeon RX 10090 XT :

  • 36 GB GDDR7
  • ~154 compute units (CU)
  • Engraving in 3 nm
  • TDP around 380 W
  • Clear objective: to compete with the future RTX 6090 in the ultra-high-end segment.

👉 We can expect an AMD vs NVIDIA battle around 2026-2027.

Card Architecture Video Memory CUDA Cores / CU Bandwidth TDP Price
RTX 6000 Ada (Pro) Ada Lovelace 48 GB GDDR6 ECC 18 176 CUDA 960 GB/s 300 W ≈ 8,400 €
RTX 6090 (rumor) Rubin (3 nm) 32 GB GDDR7 ~25,000 CUDA ~1.5 TB/s 600 W Not announced
RX 10090 XT (AMD, rumor) RDNA 5 (3 nm) 36 GB GDDR7 ~154 CU ≈ 1 TB/s 380 W Not announced

FAQ

Q: Does the RTX 6000 already exist?

👉 Yes, but only in RTX 6000 Ada Pro version, workstation-oriented, not for gamers.

Q: Will a gamer RTX 6000 be released?

👉 Probably, but not before the Rubin generation (RTX 60 Series), expected around 2026-2027.

Q: What is the difference between RTX 6000 Ada and RTX 6090?

👉 The RTX 6000 Ada = professional workstation (~8,000 €). The RTX 6090 (future) = consumer gaming, price unknown but probably 2,000–3,000 €.

Q: Does AMD have a response?

👉 Yes, the future RX 10090 XT with RDNA 5, also planned for 2026–2027.

Conclusion

The RTX 6000 is a somewhat misleading term today:

  • The RTX 6000 Ada / RTX Pro 6000 is a pro card, already available, monstrous but overpriced for gaming.
  • The NVIDIA RTX 6000 gamer, she, does not exist yet, but is taking shape through EEC filings and rumors about the Rubin architecture.

👉 If you are a pro in rendering or AI, the RTX Pro 6000 Ada is already a safe bet.

👉 If you are a gamer, you will have to be patient: the GeForce RTX 6090 and the RTX 60 series should land in 2-3 years, and they promise to redefine the high end.
