Verdict

NVIDIA Quadro RTX 6000

6.3 / 10 Expert Rating

The value half of NVIDIA's Turing workstation flagship pair; a solid used CAD/VFX card today, though NVIDIA's RTX PRO Ada and Blackwell cards outperform it significantly per watt.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090

10 / 10 Expert Rating

The outright performance leader in both raster and ray tracing — but independently the worst value in the current hierarchy, demanding a flagship PSU and chassis.
