NVIDIA RTX Pro 5000 Blackwell is Now Available with massive 72GB VRAM
Professional workstation users now have access to new, robust hardware: increased VRAM capacity. NVIDIA has officially launched the RTX Pro 5000 Blackwell GPU 72GB edition. The significant upgrade is designed to meet the memory demands of generative AI and complex 3D rendering.
While its predecessor, the RTX Pro 5000, had a respectable 48GB of VRAM, Nvidia's latest iteration boosts capacity by about 50% to a massive 72GB of GDDR7, closing the gap between mid-range professional graphics cards and the flagship RTX Pro 6000.
So, why the extra Memory, you ask?
The significant 72GB upgrade is a direct response to the growing gap between ultrafast processors and much slower RAM, an issue faced by data scientists and creative studios. Modern Large Language Models (LLMs) and "agentic" AI workflows require substantial video memory per model, in addition to training.
With 72GB of GDDR7 memory on a 384-bit bus, users can run much larger LLMs locally without relying on cloud data centers. It is also possible to Render Massive 3D scenes in real time with higher-resolution textures using applications such as Blender and Chaos V-Ray. Users can now multitask extensively between complex simulation and design apps without sudden crashes from out-of-memory errors.
Significant Performance Boost Over Ada
Built on the cutting-edge Blackwell architecture (GB202 core), the graphics card delivers significant performance gains over the previous Ada Lovelace generation. Key specifications are as follows: up to 2,142 AI TOPS performance, delivering up to 3.5x faster image generation and 2x faster text generation. Rendering speed is up to 4.7x faster on path-tracing workloads than the RTX 5000 Ada. The GPU core specs are 14,000 Tensor CUDA Cores, 440 Tensor Cores, and 110 RT cores.
The Price and Availability
NVIDIA RTX 5000 72GB Blackwell is now available through major partners, including PNY, Ingram Micro, and Leadtek.
According to early listings, the retail price is around $8,990 USD, positioning this graphics card as a premium option for studios that need flagship memory capacity without the full cost of the top-tier RTX Pro 6000. The consummate professional whose workflows are constantly bottlenecked by VRAM; though the upgrade is expensive, it is worth it, saving hours of rendering time.
