NVIDIA RTX PRO 5500 Listing Spotted at $17,999, More Than the Flagship RTX PRO 6000

What happened

NVIDIA hasn't announced official pricing since it quietly added the RTX PRO 5500 to its lineup in September, so it isn't clear whether the $17,999 figure comes from NVIDIA or PNY. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 5500 "Blackwell" workstation card has shown up at a US retailer, and it surprisingly costs more than the flagship RTX PRO 6000. NVIDIA is a semiconductor company based in Santa Clara.

As spotted by Alex Ziskind on X and corroborated by Videocardz , SHI Government Solutions listed the PNY-built model (VCNRTXPRO5500B-PB) with an MSRP of $17,999 and a discounted price of $17,408.63. NVIDIA's own US marketplace, on the other hand, lists the RTX PRO 6000 for $16,000 , even though that card has more CUDA cores (24,064 vs.

So even at SHI's discounted price, the cut-down card costs around $1,400 more. Videocardz points out that Chinese demand is probably a big factor behind the RTX PRO 5500's price.
