Quick answer
The NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition fits 245 of 320 sized models entirely in its 96 GB; the largest widely used one is Ling-3.0-flash (78.2 GB at Q4_K_M). Memory decides what fits; its 1792 GB/s of bandwidth decides how fast it answers.

At 8,192 tokens of context with the whole model in device memory. Speeds are estimates from memory bandwidth, not benchmarks run on this card.

These examples are selected from prominent labs using the catalogue’s latest Hugging Face 30-day downloads and repository-creation freshness signal, with newer releases guaranteed a place. Offloaded rows assume 32 GB of system RAM, and a speed is only shown for a row that runs. Fitting in memory is not the same as loading: whether the runtime and version you have supports each architecture and format on this machine has not been tested here. Each “Open” link carries the same model, format, context and RAM into the calculator.

The most demanding model that fits is Mixtral-8x22B-Instruct-v0.1 at Q4_K_M: 87.7 GB of the 96 GB, leaving 8.29 GB spare.

Fully resident at 8,192 tokens (or the model’s own maximum, where that is shorter), offload off, at 1792 GB/s. Each row is a run of the engine for this configuration; the rows start with current, prominent releases and “fits” is memory, not a tested runtime. Older or less prominent models remain available through this search and “Show all”.

Buy one or rent one?

Your price, your hours, your electricity. Everything else is arithmetic.

4 h

Watts start at the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition’s published board power (600 W), an upper bound: decoding rarely holds a card at its limit. Rent starts at the cheapest live price (Vast.ai). The electricity price is a placeholder — put yours in.

At 4 h a day, renting costs $1,664.40 a year.

  • That is $138.70 a month, and nothing when the machine is stopped.
  • Owning would cost $219.00 a year in electricity, on top of the price.
  • Every $1,000 of purchase price takes 0.7 years of this use to earn back.

Enter the price you would pay to see the exact break-even.

On-demand prices for the whole machine. Vast hosts below 98% measured reliability are left out; RunPod’s Community Cloud is vetted third-party hosts and its Secure Cloud is data-centre capacity. Every rentable card compared.

Referral links Vast.ai, RunPod and Novita pay us a share of what you spend if you sign up through these buttons. It costs you nothing, and it never decides an order or a recommendation: both are computed from the live price and the speed, and options that pay us nothing are listed and recommended on the same terms.

Caveats

  • The official page does not publish memory bus width; it remains blank rather than being derived.
  • No dense matrix throughput is catalogued for this device: NVIDIA publishes only "AI TOPS: 4000", footnoted "Theoretical FP4 TOPS using sparsity". Time to first token is withheld rather than priced against a sparsity figure.

Published capacity is a hardware ceiling, not guaranteed free runtime memory. The calculator shows the runtime reserve separately rather than folding it into a single number.
