The RTX 5000 PRO 48GB arrived and is better than expected

The RTX 5000 PRO (48GB) arrived and it is better than I expected.

A Reddit user built a $5,600 RTX 5000 PRO 48GB PC and ran Qwen3.6-27B-FP8 with full-precision cache; they report up to 80 tok/s in TG, about 50–60 tok/s on very large prompts, 4,400 tok/s in prompt processing, and 200k tokens fitting in BF16 KV cache.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass: a first-person local-inference test gives price and speed numbers, not vendor copy. Single Reddit source limits reach, so it lands in the featured-threshold band.
