I’ve been working on a quick reference to compare the various NVIDIA GPUs and their professional equivalents for my own builds. This list will grow as I try things. Enjoy!

🔍 Consumer vs. Professional GPUs

Consumer GPU CUDA Cores VRAM Memory Type Pro Equivalent
RTX 3090 10,496 24 GB GDDR6X GDDR6X RTX A6000 (Ampere)
RTX 4090 16,384 24 GB GDDR6X GDDR6X RTX 6000 Ada
RTX 5090 21,760 32 GB GDDR7 GDDR7 RTX 6000 Blackwell

🧠 Professional Card Specs (Detailed)
