Can I use my NVIDIA Blackwell architecture GPU with MATLAB for GPU Computing?

Does MATLAB support NVIDIA Blackwell* Architecture for GPU Computing?
* A Blackwell architecture card is an NVIDIA GPU card with a compute capability of 10.0 and above e.g. the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series (5070, 5070Ti, 5080, 5090)

Full native support for Blackwell architecture cards will be integrated by MATLAB in a future release. The native support for Blackwell architecture cards exists from CUDA 12.8 onwards, and until this is integrated in MATLAB, support for Blackwell cards will be through forward compatibility.

MATLAB GPU code is forward compatible to future architectures using a byte-code representation that allows it to be compiled by the graphics driver at runtime. Starting in R2020b GPU forward compatibility is not enabled by default as there may be performance issues or unexpected behaviour when using forward compatibility. See this documentation page for more details on how to enable forward compatibility.

If forward compatibility is enabled then when MATLAB encounters a card with an architecture the GPU code was not originally compiled for there will be a one-time delay for GPU computing commands whilst the byte code is compiled and cached. 

If you run into a specific limitation using GPU computing in MATLAB with a Blackwell card please contact MathWorks Support.
