NVIDIA has announced the official availability of its latest RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell GPU, which packs a massive 72 GB GDDR7 memory config.
NVIDIA Rolls Out Its Brand New RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell GPU With 72 GB GDDR7 Memory, 50% More Than Existing Model
During the initial launch of the RTX PRO Blackwell family, the company introduced the flagship RTX PRO 6000 graphics card, packing a massive 96 GB memory capacity. This model offers double the capacity of the RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell, which is just one tier below the flagship. NVIDIA did introduce more models in the family, mainly targeting entry-level Prosumers, but there was a large VRAM disparity between the lineup.
Now, NVIDIA has solved this with the availability of the brand new RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell 72 GB GPU. The new model retains the same specifications as the previous one and is powered by the GB202 GPU core, packing 14,080 CUDA cores, 2142 AI TOPS, a 384-bit bus interface, 1.34 TB/s of bandwidth, and a 300W TDP. Both graphics cards come in air-cooled dual-slot designs, but the difference is the memory capacity.
To get to 72 GB, NVIDIA will leverage 24 GDDR7 sites instead of the 16 used by the 48 GB model. The speeds are set at the same 28 Gbps across the 384-bit bus interface. This shows NVIDIA's flexibility to roll out higher VRAM models within the prosumer space, and soon within the consumer space too, with big VRAM upgrades expected on the RTX 50 SUPER family.
As per NVIDIA, the NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell GPU is designed to meet the growing demands in the Agentic AI and Professional space. The 72 GB capacity is a full-on 50% VRAM upgrade, allowing for more options and giving users the ability to run larger LLMs and AI agents. And it's not just the VRAM; the AI TOPS, rated at 2142, help solve bottlenecks within AI, Neural Rendering, and Simulation workloads.
Just for comparison, the 72 GB NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell GPU delivers a 3.5x gain in performance for image generation and a 2x gain in performance for text generation, versus the prior generation. In LLM Inference, the GPU delivers a 2.1x gain versus the prior generation, while professional software such as Arnold, Chaos V-Ray, Blender, and real-time GPU renderers such as D5 Render and Redshift see a huge time reduction of up to 4.7x.
The NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 72 GB Blackwell GPU is now available, besides the standard 48 GB option from leading partners such as Ingram Micro, Leadtek, etc. The pricing is yet to be confirmed, but we will update with the proper information once its accquired.
