RTX 5090 Tops RTX PRO 6000 Max-Q
A Reddit benchmark compares the RTX 5090, RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q Workstation Edition, and RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition on a diffusion-heavy Forge Neo workload. The tuned 5090 is fastest, but the Max-Q card matches it at 400W while the stock workstation card closes much of the gap at 600W.
// ANALYSIS
The takeaway is less about peak speed than power efficiency: Blackwell’s pro cards look surprisingly strong once you look at throughput per watt, especially in a compute workload that is sensitive to clocks and power limits.
- –The RTX 5090 scales hard with power in this test, dropping from 36s at 600W to 48s at 400W.
- –The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q matching the 5090 at 400W is the standout result here.
- –The stock RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition only trails the tuned 5090 by 3s at 600W, which suggests meaningful tuning headroom.
- –This is a workload-specific benchmark, not a universal GPU ranking; Forge Neo, SageAttention, CUDA 13.1, and OC/UV settings all matter.
- –For diffusion workloads, the practical decision may come down to power envelope and efficiency, not just raw top-end performance.
