Source checked
Access and use
For local inference and AI development on a desktop PC. It has 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus with 1,792 GB/s of bandwidth, 21,760 CUDA cores, fifth-generation Tensor Cores and CUDA compute capability 12.0. NVIDIA's CUDA Toolkit supports Windows 11 and major Linux distributions including Ubuntu, RHEL, SUSE, Debian and Fedora, and NVIDIA names LM Studio and AnythingLLM as tools for running models on RTX PCs. Total graphics power is 575 W. NVIDIA lists 1000 W required system power, based on a PC with a Ryzen 9 9950X, and recommends a PCIe CEM 5.1 compliant power supply. Power comes from one 600 W PCIe Gen 5 cable or four PCIe 8-pin cables with the adapter in the box. The Founders Edition is a 2-slot, 304 mm long PCIe Gen 5 card; partner cards differ, and NVIDIA notes that small form factor readiness varies by manufacturer. NVIDIA's US page showed "Starting at $1999" on 7 November 2026 and points to regional NVIDIA sites for local pricing and partner retailers. Caveat: NVIDIA says power requirements differ by system configuration, so size the power supply for the whole build.
Who it is for
People building a Windows or Linux PC or home server who need CUDA software support and 32 GB of graphics memory on one card.

What a source check covers
Documentation checked means the source was read. It does not mean the software was installed, tested or security audited.
