Frequently asked questions

Can Gemma 2 27B run on RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell 96GB?

Yes. Gemma 2 27B at FP8 (E4M3) needs 51.7 GB including the KV cache, and RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell 96GB has 96 GB — so it fits on a single GPU.

How fast is Gemma 2 27B on RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell 96GB?

64.71 tokens/sec per stream and 776.5 tok/s aggregate with continuous batching at 8 concurrent users. Time to first token is 7.12 s, and inter-token latency is 15.5 ms.

What does Gemma 2 27B on RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell 96GB cost per million tokens?

$0.5366 per 1M output tokens at 1× RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell 96GB ($1.50/hr). That is the marginal hardware cost — add idle capacity, ops, and egress for the real figure.

How much VRAM does Gemma 2 27B need on RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell 96GB?

27.0 GB for the weights at FP8 (E4M3), plus 24.7 GB of KV cache for 8 concurrent requests at 8K context — 51.7 GB total. Every extra concurrent user at long context costs more, so leave headroom.

Is RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell 96GB the right choice for Gemma 2 27B?

It works. Compare $0.5366 per 1M tokens against the alternatives below — the cheapest option that fits the same workload is 8× RTX 3080 10GB at $0.0248, and the fastest is 2× Cerebras CS-3 (WSE-3) at 29467 tok/s.
