RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell FAQ

What is the largest model the RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell can run?

NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Super 120B A12B BF16 (123.6B) is the largest at 4-bit or better: at Q4_K_S it uses 70.0 GB of 72 GB, and runs at about 75.3 tok/s.

Can the RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell run Qwen3.8 27B?

Yes. Qwen3.8 27B fits at Q4_K_M, using 17.9 GB of 72 GB, and it is the best model that runs well on this card.

How many tokens per second does the RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell give?

About 50.1 tok/s on Qwen3.8 27B at Q4_K_M, with the first token after 1.9 s on a 4K-token prompt.

What power supply does the RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell need?

Plan a 600 W PSU (2× the 300 W TDP).

Is 72 GB enough for coding and agents?

Yes for coding: Qwen3.8 27B, the best of the 11 coding models that fit, runs at about 50 tok/s. For agents, not yet: no agent-scored model fits in less than 96 GB.
