What is the NVIDIA B200?

The B200 is a GPU from NVIDIA on the Blackwell architecture, an accelerator for AI training, inference and high-performance computing. It is an SXM module, the mezzanine format used in dense multi-GPU servers. B200 full specifications →

Can I rent the B200 in the cloud?

Yes. Cloud providers tracked by Flopper rent the B200 by the hour, and the pricing page compares their current rates and the price history side by side. B200 rental prices →

How does the B200 compare with other accelerators?

This page sets the B200 against the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell. The B200 is the older generation of the two. Both are NVIDIA parts; the B200 is an SXM module while the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell is a PCIe card. Flopper also compares it head to head with the A100 SXM4 80GB, B100 SXM 192GB and B300 SXM 262GB, across every published precision, memory and power. B200 vs A100 SXM4 80GB →

FLOPS by Precision

What actually differs

The RTX PRO 6000 is the cheaper Blackwell per hour, not per token. It runs the same FP4 and FP8 formats as the B200, so a quantised checkpoint moves across unchanged, but it delivers under a quarter of the B200’s compute and memory bandwidth for $0.94 against $3.06 per GPU-hour at the spot floor. For busy serving, the B200 still buys more tokens per dollar.

The workstation card earns its place where ownership beats the meter: a lab or startup keeping one quantised model, LoRA fine-tunes or a team’s MIG slices busy all day on a 600 W card it owns outright.

Its ceiling is 96 GB. RTX PRO 6000 cards scale over PCIe, while B200s share NVLink at 1.8 TB/s, so full fine-tunes and models split across workstation cards stall on the bus. Rent B200 time for those runs, and price the card on its rental page.

New to the terms? The glossary explains FP64, FP32, TF32, BF16, FP16, FP8, FP4, INT8, Sparsity and TFLOPS. For how the generations relate, see NVIDIA architectures explained.

Frequently asked questions

Is the B200 faster than the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell?

Yes, by about four and a half times on compute: 9,000 TFLOPS FP4 against 2,015.2 TFLOPS FP4, both dense. Bandwidth follows, 7,700 GB/s of HBM3e against 1,792 GB/s of GDDR7, so token generation on a model that fits both runs about four times faster on the B200.

Can the RTX PRO 6000 run the same models as a B200?

Both are Blackwell parts with fifth-generation Tensor Cores, so FP4 and FP8 checkpoints run on either. Memory sets the limit: 96 GB on the workstation card against 180 GB on the B200. The RTX PRO 6000 also splits into up to four 24 GB MIG instances for shared lab use.

Should a startup buy RTX PRO 6000 cards or rent B200s?

Buy the workstation card when one model under 96 GB runs most of the day, since an owned 600 W card has no hourly meter. Rent B200s for bursts: full fine-tunes, models past 96 GB and multi-GPU jobs that need NVLink rather than PCIe.

How much does it cost to rent a B200 compared with an RTX PRO 6000?

Flopper tracks 37 B200 listings across 25 providers, from $3.06 to $14.24 per GPU-hour, and 26 RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell listings across 16 providers, from $0.94 to $4.50. Both floors are spot capacity, so check on-demand rates before budgeting around them.
