Hey everyone,

I just got an **RTX 5090** , and I’m running into issues using it with PyTorch.  
It looks like PyTorch doesn’t yet support the new **Blackwell architecture** (compute capability 12.0 / sm\_120).

When I try to run any CUDA ops, I get this warning and crash:

`UserWarning: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 with CUDA capability sm_120 is not compatible with the current PyTorch installation.`  
`The current PyTorch install supports CUDA capabilities sm_61 sm_70 sm_75 sm_80 sm_86 sm_90.`  
`torch.AcceleratorError: CUDA error: no kernel image is available for execution on the device`

I’m currently on the latest stable build (CUDA 12.6).  
Before switching to the nightly, I wanted to ask:

- Is there _any_ PyTorch build (nightly or experimental) that already supports **sm\_120** or any plan for it?

- Or should I wait for a future release (like PyTorch 2.5 or the CUDA 13 build)?

- If it’s not out yet, can I build from source with CUDA 13 to get it working?

Would love to hear if anyone has managed to get their RTX 5090 / 5080 working yet.

Blackwell GPUs require CUDA 12.8+ so install any stable or nightly PyTorch binary with CUDA 12.8+ from our install matrix.
