JNCS AI 5090

RTX 5090 AI workstation, 32GB of VRAM on a standard circuit.

The JNCS AI 5090 is a single-GPU AI workstation: one GeForce RTX 5090 on a Ryzen 9000 processor and an ASUS ProArt X870E board. It is sized for local LLM inference, image and video generation, and fine-tuning of smaller models, and it draws under 850W at full load.

What 32GB of VRAM runs

Total VRAM sets the largest model that can be loaded on the GPU.

Model weights occupy roughly parameters × bits per weight ÷ 8. A 70-billion-parameter model at 4-bit quantization is about 35GB of weights; with context and runtime overhead it requires approximately 48GB of VRAM. Context length and batch size add to every figure below.

Local LLM inference

A 30-billion-parameter model at 4-bit quantization fits in 32GB of VRAM. Smaller models fit at higher precision or with longer context.

Image and video generation

Diffusion models for image and video generation run on a single high-VRAM GPU; 32GB leaves room for larger resolutions and batch sizes than 16GB or 24GB cards.

Fine-tuning smaller models

Parameter-efficient fine-tuning of smaller models fits on one card. Full training of large models is a multi-GPU workload.

When to step up

A 70B-class model needs approximately 48GB at 4-bit. That calls for an RTX PRO 5000 or 6000 Blackwell card, offered in the JNCS AI PRO.

See the RTX PRO build →

Power and circuit requirements

Estimated draw at full load is approximately 795W to 845W depending on the processor, on the 1200W Platinum unit. That is within the 1,440W continuous limit of a standard 15A, 120V circuit, so no electrical work is required.

Assembly, burn-in, and delivery

Each system is assembled by hand at our shop in Fairport, NY, by a shop that has built computers for more than thirty years.

Fit and power validated

The configurator checks physical fit, memory, PCIe slots, and power on every selection. The power supply is sized automatically to the GPU count and estimated draw, with a 12V-2x6 cable for every GPU.

Burn-in under load

Every system is stress-tested under sustained full load and firmware-updated before it leaves the bench, so the first long job is not the first test.

Windows 11 Pro installed

Windows 11 Pro is installed and updated before shipment.

Warranty and support

Every build carries a 3-year warranty and lifetime technical support from the shop that built it.

Quoting and payment

The configurator shows a price for every part and an estimated total, including assembly, burn-in, and testing, as the build is configured. GPU and memory pricing changes frequently, so a technician confirms GPU availability and final pricing by email, with lead time, typically within 1-2 business days. There is no cost and no obligation to request a quote.

Payment for AI workstations is by ACH bank transfer; credit cards are not accepted for these systems. An invoice with bank details is issued once the quote is approved. Systems ship across the United States from Fairport, NY, with local pickup available.

RTX 5090 AI workstation questions

Is one RTX 5090 enough for local LLMs?
For models that fit in 32GB of VRAM, yes. A 30-billion-parameter model at 4-bit quantization fits. A 70B-class model needs approximately 48GB at 4-bit, which calls for an RTX PRO 5000 or 6000 Blackwell card in the JNCS AI PRO.
Can a second RTX 5090 be added to this build?
No. The JNCS AI 5090 is a single-GPU system: the power supply has one 12V-2x6 GPU cable and the build is sized for a standard 15A circuit. For two GPUs, the JNCS AI PRO runs one or two RTX PRO Blackwell cards; for four, see the JNCS AI MAX.
How does the RTX 5090 compare with the RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell?
Both have 32GB of GDDR7. The RTX 5090 is a 575W card and this build runs one of them. The RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell is a 200W, two-slot card offered in the JNCS AI PRO and AI MAX, which run it in pairs or fours on Threadripper platforms with registered ECC memory.
How much system memory should an RTX 5090 workstation have?
A common guideline is system memory at least equal to total VRAM. Every memory option on this build, 64GB, 96GB, or 128GB, exceeds the card's 32GB.
What circuit does the RTX 5090 workstation need?
A standard 15A, 120V circuit. Estimated full-load draw is approximately 795W to 845W, under the 1,440W continuous limit of that circuit.
How is an AI workstation ordered and paid for?
Configure the system, which shows an estimated total as you go, and request a quote; there is no cost or obligation. A technician confirms GPU availability, final pricing, and lead time by email, typically within 1-2 business days. Payment is by ACH bank transfer once the quote is approved.
