The RTX 5090, released in January 2025, is a powerful consumer GPU with 32GB of GDDR7 VRAM, suitable for fine-tuning models up to 30B parameters and running inference on larger quantized models. However, its consumer GeForce EULA restricts data center deployment, and the lack of NVLink makes multi-GPU setups for large training runs challenging. For serious AI teams, the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition is often recommended, though its suitability also depends on specific workload needs and memory requirements. AI
