Detail
NVIDIA's flagship Blackwell-generation graphics card with 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit interface.
Features
Works with
- PCI Express Gen 5 x16 slot (works in Gen 3/4 slots at reduced bandwidth)
- 1000 W power supply with a 600 W PCIe Gen 5 cable or four PCIe 8-pin connectors
- A chassis that fits a 304 mm, two-slot card; NVIDIA marks the Founders Edition SFF-Ready
Is it for you?
NVIDIA's flagship Blackwell-generation graphics card with 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit interface, 21760 CUDA cores and a 575 W total graphics power target, built for local AI inference and heavy creative workloads in a two-slot Founders Edition cooler.
Choose it if these matter
- 32 GB of GDDR7 memory, enough to load large language models and diffusion models locally that overflow a 24 GB card
- 21760 CUDA cores with 3352 AI TOPS of fifth-generation tensor throughput, the highest of any GeForce card
Skip it if these rule it out
- 575 W total graphics power and a 1000 W recommended system power supply make it demanding for small homelab builds
- NVIDIA's own product page links no Amazon listing for the Founders Edition, so finding it means searching for the exact model
- Peak power draw requires a 600 W PCIe Gen 5 cable or four 8-pin adapters, which not every existing PSU offers

- What differs
- NVIDIA's own Founders Edition of the flagship card, the reference dual flow-through design.
- Best for
- Local AI inference and gaming on a single flagship card.
Watch out
- Partner cards (ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte and others) are different physical cards with the same GPU; only the Founders Edition is NVIDIA's own design.
- Laptop GPUs carry similar RTX 5090/4090 names but are soldered, lower-power parts, not this desktop card.
