Without much media hype, NVIDIA has expanded its professional graphics card series with the new NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 72 GB. This model, based on the Blackwell architecture, primarily brings more GDDR7 memory – up to 72 GB instead of 48 GB in the original version. It targets professionals working with big data projects, generative AI, 3D rendering or real-time simulations.
While the RTX 50 gaming series focuses on performance for 4K gaming, the RTX PRO 5000 72 GB card pushes the boundaries in the computing realm – from AI labs to visualization studios, where memory size and stability determine work efficiency.
The design and cooling of a professional card
Although the NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 72 GB is not a consumer card, its design looks premium and precise. The body is robust, with a typical matte black finish and a professional cooler designed for continuous operation in racks and desktop workstations.
The design is minimalistic – no RGB or unnecessary artwork, just function and efficiency. The die-cast aluminum heatsink uses a radial layout and efficiently dissipates heat from the core. Compared to older Ada generation models, the Blackwell offers improved temperature management and a quieter fan with lower vibration, which is key for professional studios.
Unlike its gaming variants, the RTX PRO 5000 uses “blower-style” cooling that draws hot air away from the case – ideal for closed rack configurations or multi-cartridge systems. The design is engineered for long life and continuous operation in temperature stable environments.
Blackwell architecture – new era performance
At the heart of the NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 72 GB is the Blackwell architecture, which follows the successful Ada Lovelace. Blackwell brings new 6nm manufacturing processes, more efficient Tensor and RT cores, and most importantly, increased efficiency for AI-centric computing and ray tracing. The card supports 5th generation Tensor cores that enable faster training and inference of AI models, and a new version of RT cores aimed at more realistic lighting and shading in professional 3D tools.
72 GB of GDDR7 memory with excellent throughput of up to 1 TB/s is the main difference from the standard 48 GB version. This capacity allows you to work with large datasets and complex scenes without having to share memory between the CPU and GPU. NVIDIA is clearly targeting the segment of AI labs, rendering studios, and compute centers that need maximum memory throughput and stability.
At the same time, the RTX PRO 5000 leverages PCIe Gen 5.0 interfaces to ensure sufficient throughput for data-intensive tasks and multi-GPU collaboration in a single system.
NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 72 GB Technical Specifications
In practice, the NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 72GB offers performance that can cover a wide range of professional tasks – from GPU rendering to AI modeling to complex CAD projects.
Thanks to the power efficiency of the Blackwell architecture, it maintains a TDP of 300W, which is impressive compared to its memory capacity and performance. It uses a standard 12VHPWR power supply, which is already common in professional workstations.
Availability and Price
The NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 72 GB has only quietly been added to the professional GPU lineup on the official website. It is currently available for OEM partners such as Dell Precision or HP Z-Series, with standalone sales expected in the coming weeks.
The price isn’t official yet, but estimates say $4,320, with the price for the US likely to be slightly higher.
Conclusion
The NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 72 GB is a quiet but crucial step in the professional GPU segment. Offering much more memory than its predecessor, the efficient Blackwell architecture and higher stability when working with AI models, large datasets and 3D rendering is where this card excels. Larger VRAM, a quiet blower cooler, and high reliability make this card a tool for professionals looking for performance, efficiency, and silence all in one package.
