NVIDIA's $13,250 GPU: A Price Surge, To Scale

NVIDIA's flagship workstation GPU — the 'RTX PRO 6000' tier — just jumped 55% overnight, from $8,565 to $13,250, with no announcement. This is that surge against 16 years of its own lineage: Quadro to RTX A to RTX PRO. Pad height encodes NOMINAL launch MSRP. The story: the price was flat for a decade, even fell once — so 2026 is a memory-shortage shock, not a trend.
