What fits in VRAM: 96 GB vs 48 GB
| Workload | RTX PRO 6000 WS | RTX 6000Ada |
|---|---|---|
| Largest LLM in FP16, one card | ~32B | ~14B |
| Largest LLM at 4-bit, one card | ~141B | ~72B |
| Flux dev (FP8, ~17 GB) | fits | fits |
| Wan 2.x 14B video (offloaded) | yes | yes |
| 70B 4-bit LLM on one card | yes | yes |
Rules of thumb: ~2.4 GB per billion parameters in FP16 all-in, ~0.62 GB in 4-bit. Full tables in the VRAM guide.
Verdict: which should you rent?
The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell doubles VRAM (96 vs 48 GB), nearly doubles bandwidth with GDDR7 and adds FP4; the RTX 6000 Ada is cheaper and still a superb 48 GB workstation card. Go Blackwell for 70B single-card inference and huge scenes, Ada for everything under 48 GB.

RTX PRO 6000 WS vs RTX 6000Ada: FAQ
Deeper reading: H100 vs H200 vs B200, RTX 4090 vs RTX 5090, how cloud GPU pricing works.
Is the RTX PRO 6000 WS faster than the RTX 6000Ada?
On dense FP16 tensor throughput the RTX PRO 6000 WS leads by about 1.4× (505 vs 364 TFLOPS). Memory bandwidth matters as much for inference: RTX PRO 6000 WS 1,792 GB/s vs RTX 6000Ada 960 GB/s.
Which is cheaper to rent, the RTX PRO 6000 WS or the RTX 6000Ada?
The RTX 6000Ada: $0.513/hr on-demand versus $1.097/hr — 53% less. Interruptible rates are $0.548 (RTX PRO 6000 WS) and $0.256 (RTX 6000Ada). Per TFLOP-hour the better value is the RTX 6000Ada.
Which has more VRAM and what does that change?
The RTX PRO 6000 WS has 96 GB versus 48 GB. In LLM terms that is roughly a 32B FP16 model (or ~141B in 4-bit) on one card against 14B FP16 (~72B 4-bit). If the model does not fit, speed is irrelevant.
