According to a recently updated product page, NVIDIA has expanded its professional RTX PR0 5000 Blackwell lineup by adding a 72 GB version. There has been no official announcement; the new option simply appeared on the site alongside the existing 48 GB model.
The newcomer retains a 512-bit memory bus, just like the previous variant. While the 48 GB card uses 16 GDDR7 chips at 3 GB each with bandwidth listed at 1,344 Tb/s, the 72 GB model is likely built around an expanded 24‑chip configuration while keeping the same 512‑bit interface, a setup that would preserve high data transfer speeds even as capacity grows.
Both cards carry the same 14,030 CUDA cores, and TDP remains at 300 W, which points to similar clock speeds. The 72 GB version targets tasks in artificial intelligence, large 3D projects, local fine‑tuning of AI models, and demanding multi‑app workflows—use cases where extra VRAM tends to matter more than raw frequency bumps.
The 72 GB model is expected to cost around $5,000, slightly above the current 48 GB version at $4,250–$4,600. For comparison, the top professional RTX PR0 6000 comes in at over $8,300. That pricing positions the 72 GB option as a practical step up in capacity without veering into flagship territory.
The new graphics card underscores what improved GDDR7 brings to the table: higher bandwidth and more memory enable work with more complex datasets while maintaining stability in professional applications, including large‑scale virtual environments and graphics‑intensive projects.
