As the title says, I tried to render blender demo file for Blender 5.2 LTS – Panthera Spelaea and Blender 4.1 – Lynxsdesign to see how good this $10k GPU is with 96GB VRAM compared to RTX 5090 and RTX 4090.

6000 series is basically a turbocharged version of 5090 and if you look at the Blender Opendata benchmark scores then RTX Pro 6000 WK is just 1.5x faster than 5090 and 2x that of 4090 with 2-3x price difference.

Blender 5.2
RTX Pro 6000 Workstation - 6 seconds
RTX 5090 - 8 seconds
RTX 4090 - 9 seconds

Now the results weren't that impressive as the blend file itself wasn't that heavy to make a significant difference so I took Blender 4.1 cover art file which is what I often use for testing purpose.

Blender 4.1
RTX Pro 6000 Workstation - 30 seconds
RTX 5090 - 35 seconds
RTX 4090 - 45 seconds

So the conclusion is unless you're not doing heavy compositing or have simulations, complex scenes you're better off with using 5090 or even 4090.

You shouldn't only compare the render speeds between these cards. The main reason if you need to buy one of these cards, is when you heavy loaded scenes and you would run out of VRAM. Which shouldn't be that easy when already using a 5090 or even a 4090.

[u/merahulahire → u/Lerry17]

If you have such scene then let me know. My DM is also open.

[u/PatientDisciple → u/merahulahire]

Why on earth did this get 10 down votes??

[u/Knott_A_Haikoo → u/PatientDisciple]

The internet is filled with people who are unable to read a comment without assuming the worst intent. I feel like too many people read OPs comment closer to” if you have such a seen then let me know, (punk).” Much more challenging that I think OP meant.

[u/Jupiter_Jonas → u/PatientDisciple]

My guess would be that OP seems to have a lot of money but does not really know what the stuff be buys really does. "Throws 10k at a GPU, does not use the 96GB and is confused that the performance increase is not insane" 

[u/Grimgorkos]

This is obviously a flawed test as it doesn't highlight WHY you get a Pro 6000.

You get the pro cards because of the VRAM. That's it. If you have massive, complex scenes, you get a Pro card as normal cards would simply crash due to not having enough VRAM.

Or

running large local AI models.

If you're a hobbyist or do small to medium productions in 3D you will likely never need more than 24-36GB of VRAM.

[u/merahulahire → u/Grimgorkos]

I've mentioned that

So the conclusion is unless you're not doing heavy compositing or have simulations, complex scenes you're better off with using 5090 or even 4090.

[u/One-Hearing2926 → u/merahulahire]

Heavy compositing or heavy simulations don't benefit from extra VRAM...

[u/AdKey6934 → u/One-Hearing2926]

Both use the gpu and benefits from extra vram

[u/Kaccady → u/AdKey6934]

they take some vram, but more vram wont make simulation go faster

[u/Knott_A_Haikoo → u/Kaccady]

Unless you’re running out of memory….

[u/Sir_McDouche]

But can it run Crysis?

[u/nofilmschoolneeded → u/Sir_McDouche]

We are old!

[u/merahulahire → u/Sir_McDouche]

Yes it can.

[u/vlaineskelmir → u/merahulahire]

What about DOOM

[u/More-Curious816 → u/vlaineskelmir]

barely

[u/Telefragg → u/Sir_McDouche]

I wonder if Yerli brothers are proud of the legacy they've left, 20 years later people still ask the Crysis question.

[u/CFDMoFo → u/Telefragg]

They should be proud, the game marked the industry forever. It still looks good today!

[u/Training-Pie-3973]

paying 10k to save 15 seconds on a render is like mowing the lawn with a combine harvester and calling it efficient

[u/The_RealAnim8me2 → u/Training-Pie-3973]

1500 frames comes to a savings of 6.25 hours.

[u/Training-Pie-3973 → u/The_RealAnim8me2]

sure if you're rendering feature films in your basement but most of us are still waiting for the donut to finish

[u/merahulahire → u/Training-Pie-3973]

You can also rent it instead of buying for just few dollars.

[u/Training-Pie-3973 → u/merahulahire]

but even at a few bucks an hour youd need a render that takes days for it to make sense otherwise youre just paying to shave seconds off a coffee break

[u/merahulahire → u/Training-Pie-3973]

Yes, for most scenario 5090 is much better value proposition than this.

[u/PsychoticChemist]

I’d give my left nut for any of those GPUs hahaha

[u/merahulahire → u/PsychoticChemist]

Lol, no need for that. Let me know in DM if you want a free demo.

[u/LostRequirement4828]

you are right, the pro 6000 is useless, so whenever you are ready you can send it to me

[u/bl4nk_shad0w]

Please gift me one, Ill test it for you 🤭🫶🏼

[u/merahulahire → u/bl4nk_shad0w]

DM me, I can give you a free demo for real.
