## What fits in VRAM: 96 GB vs 32 GB

| Workload | RTX PRO 6000 WS | RTX 5090 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Largest LLM in FP16, one card | ~32B | ~13B |
| Largest LLM at 4-bit, one card | ~141B | ~49B |
| Flux dev (FP8, ~17 GB) | fits | fits |
| Wan 2.x 14B video (offloaded) | yes | yes |
| 70B 4-bit LLM on one card | yes | no |

Rules of thumb: ~2.4 GB per billion parameters in FP16 all-in, ~0.62 GB in 4-bit. Full tables in the [VRAM guide](https://lowcostgpu.com/guides/llm-vram-requirements).

## Verdict: which should you rent?

Same Blackwell generation: the PRO 6000 triples VRAM (96 vs 32 GB) and adds ECC and studio drivers; the RTX 5090 is much cheaper per hour with similar per-core throughput. Rent the 5090 unless the model or scene simply does not fit.

- **Cheaper per hour:** RTX 5090 ($0.481 vs $0.981, −51%).
- **More VRAM:** RTX PRO 6000 WS (96 GB vs 32 GB).
- **More FP16 throughput:** RTX PRO 6000 WS (about 1.2×).
- **Best value per TFLOP-hour:** RTX 5090.
- **Best value per GB of VRAM:** RTX PRO 6000 WS.
- **Multi-GPU:** RTX PRO 6000 WS over PCIe · RTX 5090 over PCIe.
