1x RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell
96 GB on one card, so 70B dense at 8-bit or ~120B-class MoE models at 4-bit with no multi-GPU split. The GPU price has nearly doubled since launch.

New parts are priced at the maker’s own store or list price. Used cards have no price here yet, and a total with a missing GPU would understate the build, so none is shown.
What it runs at 4-bit
Every model in the catalog at its 4-bit file with 8,192 tokens of context. 29 of 41 fit. Speeds are the median of measured runs on the same GPUs where any exist; otherwise an estimate from memory bandwidth. Try other quants and context lengths.

Before you build it
- DDR5 prices are at shortage highs: Corsair lists a 64 GB (2x32) DDR5-6000 kit at $1,274.99, so RAM can cost more than a used GPU.
- The Workstation Edition's 600 W double-flow-through cooler exhausts into the case; NVIDIA's 300 W Max-Q edition is the version meant for stacking several cards.
