What fits in memory, on one GPU
| Workload | RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell | RTX 6000 Ada |
|---|---|---|
| LLM inference, 16-bit | ≈ 35B parameters | ≈ 15B parameters |
| LLM inference, 4-bit | ≈ 120B parameters | ≈ 60B parameters |
| Full training, mixed precision | ≈ 4B parameters | ≈ 2B parameters |
Cautious estimates counting 80% of memory for model weights; context length, batch size and framework change the real limit. Several GPUs together hold larger models.
RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell vs RTX 6000 Ada: frequently asked questions
Which has more memory, the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell or the RTX 6000 Ada?
The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell has 96 GB of GPU memory, against 48 GB for the RTX 6000 Ada.
