In Shenzhen's Huaqiangbei electronics market, modified NVIDIA RTX 5090 graphics cards with 96GB of VRAM are reportedly available for approximately 56,000 yuan (about $8,200 USD). This modification involves increasing the VRAM from its standard capacity, with a significant additional cost. However, there are concerns that the necessary VBIOS modifications might prevent the system from recognizing the extra memory, potentially rendering the upgrade impractical compared to official high-VRAM cards.
