NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q vs NVIDIA TITAN V CEO Edition Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q is a purpose-built workstation accelerator with a single recorded benchmark result, while the TITAN V CEO Edition carries two older Passmark entries. The data splits cleanly by workload era and intended use.

The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q posts a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 11088. That places it at the 50th percentile among all GPUs in the database, which is the median of the entire recorded field. Its nearest rivals in that test are the RTX PRO 6000D Blackwell Max-Q with an identical 11088 score, the AMD Radeon RX 550 at 11075 (0.1% behind), and the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER at 11047 (0.4% behind). The only rival ahead is the AMD FirePro W4300 at 11225, which beats it by 1.2%. This is a modern DirectX 12 workload, and the Blackwell card wins that category outright among its immediate peers, essentially tied with its sibling part.

The TITAN V CEO Edition, by contrast, has no DirectX 12 benchmark entry in the database. Its two results are Passmark G2D at 1086 and Passmark G3D at 16988. The G3D score is a legacy 3D rasterization test, and the G2D score covers 2D desktop and compositing workloads. Its average benchmark score across both entries is 9037, which sits at the 45th percentile overall. Its nearest rivals by average score are the GeForce GTX 660 at 9022 (0.2% behind), the GeForce GTX 560 at 9058 (0.2% ahead), the Radeon 550X at 8918 (1.3% behind), and the Radeon 890M at 9210 (1.9% ahead). The TITAN V CEO Edition wins no category outright; it sits below the Radeon 890M and above the GTX 560 in the average ranking.

So the use-case split is clear: the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q wins in modern DirectX 12 3D rendering, while the TITAN V CEO Edition has a foothold only in older raster and 2D tests. For any current-generation workload, the Blackwell card is the relevant performer. For legacy compatibility testing or 2D-focused tasks, the Volta card retains a recorded presence, but its scores are modest relative to modern parts.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural generations and process nodes. The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q uses the GB202 chip on TSMC's 5 nm process, with 92,200 million transistors on a 750 mm² die. That gives a transistor density of 122.9 million per mm². It belongs to the Blackwell PRO W (x000) generation and the Blackwell 2.0 architecture. The TITAN V CEO Edition uses the GV100 chip on TSMC's 12 nm process, with 21,100 million transistors on a larger 815 mm² die. Its density is only 25.9 million per mm². The TITAN V is from the GeForce 10 generation and the Volta architecture.

Memory technology differs fundamentally. The RTX PRO 6000 carries 96 GB of GDDR7 on a 512-bit bus, delivering 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth. The TITAN V CEO Edition has 32 GB of HBM2 on a 4096-bit bus, which yields 868.4 GB/s. The Blackwell card has roughly double the memory capacity and more than double the bandwidth, despite the narrower bus, thanks to the newer memory standard.

Compute resources diverge sharply. The RTX PRO 6000 has 24,064 shading units, 752 TMUs, 192 ROPs, 188 RT cores, and 752 tensor cores. The TITAN V has 5,120 shading units, 320 TMUs, 128 ROPs, no RT cores, and 640 tensor cores. The Blackwell card has about 4.7 times the shading units and 2.35 times the TMUs. The TITAN V has no ray tracing cores at all, while the RTX PRO 6000 has 188 dedicated RT cores.

Clock behavior is inverted. The TITAN V runs a base clock of 1200 MHz and a boost of 1455 MHz, while the RTX PRO 6000 starts lower at 1035 MHz base but boosts to 2280 MHz. The effective memory clock on the TITAN V is 1696 Mbps, versus 28 Gbps on the Blackwell card.

Feature support also differs. The RTX PRO 6000 supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), while the TITAN V is limited to DirectX 12 (12_1). Both support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4. Display outputs differ: the RTX PRO 6000 has four DisplayPort 2.1b outputs, while the TITAN V has one HDMI 2.0 and three DisplayPort 1.4a.

Power and interface specs are separate. The RTX PRO 6000 has a 300 W TDP with a single 16-pin connector and a suggested 700 W PSU. The TITAN V has a 250 W TDP, uses one 6-pin plus one 8-pin connector, and suggests a 600 W PSU. The Blackwell card runs on PCIe 5.0 x16, the TITAN V on PCIe 3.0 x16.

Production status differs as well: the RTX PRO 6000 is Active, the TITAN V is End-of-life. The RTX PRO 6000 was released on 2025-03-17, while the TITAN V CEO Edition was released on 2018-06-20.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

There are no shared benchmark entries between the two cards in the database. The RTX PRO 6000 has a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 11088. The TITAN V has two Passmark scores, G2D at 1086 and G3D at 16988, plus an average benchmark score of 9037.

The closest comparison available is through each card's nearest rivals. The RTX PRO 6000's 11088 score sits 0.1% above the Radeon RX 550 and 0.4% above the GTX 1650 SUPER, while trailing the FirePro W4300 by 1.2%. The TITAN V's average of 9037 sits 0.2% above the GTX 560 and 0.2% below the GTX 660, with the Radeon 550X 1.3% behind and the Radeon 890M 1.9% ahead.

In raw compute terms, the RTX PRO 6000 delivers 109.7 TFLOPS FP32 versus 14.90 TFLOPS for the TITAN V, a 7.4x lead. Its texture rate is 1,714.6 GTexel/s versus 465.6 GTexel/s, a 3.7x lead. Pixel rate is 437.8 GPixel/s versus 186.2 GPixel/s, a 2.4x lead. Memory bandwidth is 1.79 TB/s versus 868.4 GB/s, a 2.1x lead.

The TITAN V's only quantitative advantages in the data are its higher base clock (1200 MHz vs 1035 MHz), its larger die (815 mm² vs 750 mm²), and its lower TDP (250 W vs 300 W). None of these translate into a benchmark win in the recorded results.

The Verdict

The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q is the clear choice for modern DirectX 12 workloads. Its 11088 Steel Nomad score places it at the median of all GPUs, and it outperforms three of its four nearest rivals in that test. Its 96 GB of GDDR7 memory, 188 RT cores, and 109.7 TFLOPS FP32 make it a workstation card built for current-generation rendering and compute.

The TITAN V CEO Edition is an end-of-life product from 2018 with no modern benchmark presence. Its Passmark scores are modest, and its average of 9037 places it at the 45th percentile, below the Radeon 890M in its own rival list. It has no RT cores, half the memory of the Blackwell card, and less than a seventh of the FP32 throughput.

For anyone running contemporary 3D applications, the RTX PRO 6000 is the only relevant option between the two. For legacy compatibility testing or 2D-focused tasks, the TITAN V retains a recorded score in those specific tests, but its performance is not competitive with the Blackwell card's capabilities. The data supports a straightforward recommendation: the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q for any current workload, and the TITAN V CEO Edition only as a historical reference point.
