Q: What is the difference between the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 and H100?
The RTX PRO 6000 is a Blackwell GPU with 96GB of GDDR7 and native FP4, while the H100 is a prior-generation Hopper card with 80-94GB of HBM3; OpenMetal offers the RTX PRO 6000 and the H200, and no longer carries the H100.
The core trade-off is memory technology. GDDR7 capacity on the RTX PRO 6000 (96GB) is comparable to or greater than the H100 (80GB SXM / 94GB NVL), but the H100’s HBM3 delivers much higher bandwidth (about 3.35-3.9 TB/s vs 1.6 TB/s). The RTX PRO 6000 adds Blackwell-native FP4, which the Hopper H100 lacks.
In practice, if a workload is bandwidth-bound at large scale, HBM is the right memory, and OpenMetal’s current HBM option is the H200 (141GB HBM3e), the H100’s successor. If a workload values capacity, FP4 throughput, and cost efficiency for training, fine-tuning, and serving, the RTX PRO 6000 is the better economic fit.
On OpenMetal the RTX PRO 6000 runs as single-tenant bare metal with dual Xeon 6530P, 1TB DDR5-6400, and a 6.4TB NVMe data drive, on fixed monthly pricing with included egress.
