NVIDIA’s RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell GPU Receives Major Memory Boost, Offering 72 GB for AI and Pro Workloads, 50% Increase in VRAM Capacity

NVIDIA has officially unveiled its latest powerhouse in the RTX PRO series, the RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell GPU, boasting a hefty 72 GB of GDDR7 memory. This new addition promises to significantly enhance performance in demanding applications and is designed to cater to the growing needs of both AI and professional workflows.

NVIDIA’s New RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell GPU: A Game Changer for Professionals

During the initial unveiling of the RTX PRO Blackwell lineup, NVIDIA introduced its flagship RTX PRO 6000 graphics card, which features an impressive 96 GB of memory. While the RTX PRO 5000 sits just below this top-tier model, it now closes the VRAM gap with its updated 72 GB configuration. This model maintains the same core specifications as its predecessor, powered by the GB202 GPU core with 14,080 CUDA cores, 2142 AI TOPS, and a 384-bit bus interface, delivering a bandwidth of 1.34 TB/s with a 300W TDP. The air-cooled, dual-slot design remains consistent across both the 48 GB and 72 GB options, with memory capacity being the key differentiator.

Enhanced Capabilities and Performance

NVIDIA’s strategic move to use 24 GDDR7 sites to reach the 72 GB mark, as opposed to the 16 sites used in the 48 GB model, underscores its intent to push VRAM boundaries in the prosumer segment. Speeds remain at 28 Gbps over the 384-bit bus interface, reflecting NVIDIA’s versatility in delivering high-VRAM solutions for professionals. The RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell’s enhanced capacity allows users to tackle more extensive LLMs and AI agents, meeting the increasing demands of Agentic AI and professional applications.

With a remarkable 50% increase in VRAM, the RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell opens new avenues for users, enhancing performance across a range of professional software, from AI-driven tasks to complex rendering processes. The GPU achieves a 3.5x boost in image generation and a 2x increase in text generation performance compared to the earlier generation. In LLM inference, the improvements continue with a 2.1x gain, and software like Arnold, Chaos V-Ray, and Blender sees execution times slashed by as much as 4.7x.

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 72 GB Blackwell GPU is now available through key partners such as Ingram Micro and Leadtek, alongside the standard 48 GB variant. While pricing details remain under wraps, updates will be provided as information becomes available.
