NVIDIA RTX Pro 5000 Blackwell
Product Overview
The NVIDIA RTX Pro 5000 Blackwell is a professional workstation GPU launched by NVIDIA in 2025 based on the Blackwell architecture, a trimmed-down version of the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell. With 48GB GDDR7 ECC memory (plus a 72GB version) and a 300W TDP, it retains 5th-generation Tensor Cores and FP4 inference capability — a cost-effective workstation card for local LLM development and professional graphics.
Strategic position: Between the RTX Pro 6000 (96GB) and the consumer RTX 5090 (32GB), the RTX Pro 5000 fills the mid-range AI workstation gap with 48GB ECC memory + professional drivers, balancing memory capacity and cost.
