Nvidia has once again proved that not every launch needs fireworks. Without press releases or flashy announcements, the company quietly rolled out a new version of its professional RTX Pro 5000 Blackwell graphics card — now equipped with 72 GB of video memory instead of 48.
Silent upgrade, loud specs
Nvidia hasn’t officially announced the new model, but sharp-eyed readers spotted it in a recently updated technical document. The card retains the same 512-bit memory bus as the original version, delivering a hefty 1.3 TB/s of bandwidth.
According to VideoCardz, Nvidia could have achieved this using one of two configurations: either 24 memory chips of 3 GB each at 28 Gbps with a 384-bit bus, or 24 chips at 21 Gbps with a 512-bit bus. Based on the listed specs, the latter seems to be the case — apparently, Nvidia decided not to fix what isn’t broken.
Same GPU, more room to play
Under the hood, nothing else has changed. Both models use the GB202 GPU with 14,080 CUDA cores, and the power draw remains at 300 W. Nvidia says the increased memory capacity enables smoother performance with large datasets — from massive 3D projects to AI model fine-tuning.
As for pricing, the RTX Pro 5000 Blackwell with 48 GB currently sells for around $4,250–4,600, while the new 72 GB version is expected to hover near $5,000. For comparison, the flagship RTX Pro 6000 still goes for over $8,300.
So if you’ve ever wished for more VRAM without a corporate-level budget, Nvidia has already slipped the answer under the radar — just 24 extra gigabytes and not a single word about it.
