Nvidia has unveiled a dozen new GPUs at its GTC 2025 event, the company's biggest launch in two years. Based on the Blackwell architecture, the newcomers use the RTX Pro moniker to differentiate themselves from previous generations (Ada Lovelace, Ampere, and Turing) and from their consumer counterparts. The flagship models are three RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell GPU variants with 96GB ECC GDDR7 memory and up to 4000 AI TOPS performance — twice the amount of memory in its former performance champion, the RTX 6000, and a staggering 4x the RTX 5090, the best GPU on the consumer market has to offer.

Alongside the standard Workstation Edition, Nvidia also introduced the Blackwell Max-Q Workstation Edition and the Server Edition. The latter is the successor to the L40 Data Center GPU series, bringing some much-needed consistency to the GPU nomenclature. Three other professional desktop GPUs were also introduced: the Pro 5000, Pro 4500, and Pro 4000, which will be available starting May 2025. Given past product launch cycles, additional models focusing on the entry-level and mainstream parts of the market are expected to be launched by the end of 2025.

Six new laptop GPUs were also launched, all carrying the RTX Pro naming convention and, confusingly enough, some having the same name as their desktop counterparts. The RTX Pro 5000 Blackwell is the new laptop flagship GPU with 24GB ECC GDDR7 memory; other models include the 4000, 3000, 2000, 1000, and 500 series and should directly replace their respective Ada Generation parts. All these parts will be available from OEM partners in mobile workstations starting in June 2025.

Nvidia's GTC Keynote also saw the formal launch of DGX Spark, formerly known as Project Digits, the DGX Station, and Blackwell Ultra (or GB300), Nvidia's most powerful GPU ever.
