Nvidia doubles RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell's MSRP to a staggering $16,000 — 96GB card started pre-orders below $8,000 last year
A data center GPU has become more expensive because of the AI boom enabled by unprecedented data center buildouts — shocking. Nvidia's RTX 6000 Pro Blackwell is now twice as costly as it was last year at the time of its launch, and 20% more expensive than even a couple of months ago.
Nvidia has recently increased the MSRP of its RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell workstation GPU to $16,000 on its US Marketplace website, a significant price hike from its initial launch price of $8,565. The card had previously been listed at $13,250, marking a 57% increase from the price at which pre-orders were available in March 2025. The June 2026 price increase from $13,250 to $16,000 represents an approximate 20% jump, making the RTX Pro 6000 more than twice as expensive from its debut price.
This price escalation, coupled with ongoing component shortages driving memory costs higher, does not come as a surprise. Despite the substantial price increase, the same SKU is still listed on Newegg for $13,998, slightly lower than Nvidia's official price but still higher than what was initially offered in pre-orders.
