Nvidia has increased the price of its RTX Pro 6000 96GB Blackwell workstation GPU to a record $16,000, a 110% jump from its initial pre-order price of $7,600. Other consumer GPUs, such as the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, have also seen significant price hikes, with some reaching over $4,000. The RTX Pro 6000 has undergone several price revisions since its launch, driven by the ongoing memory crunch.
It initially pre-ordered for just over $7,600 in early 2025 and later listed online for around $8,500. By June 2026, the price had risen to more than $13,000, more than doubling its launch price. Nvidia's price increases extend to its consumer GPUs, with the RTX 5090 costing over $4,000 as of August 2026, and even mid-range cards like the RTX 5070 seeing a nearly 65% increase to around $900.
The memory crunch, attributed to high demand, is expected to persist for several more years, potentially reaching its worst point in 2027. This has led to a nationwide price increase across various electronic devices, affecting laptops, desktops, smartphones, and game consoles.
