China-modified Nvidia RTX 5090 with 96GB VRAM surfaces on Alibaba

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A Chinese company, Shenzhen Suqiao Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., is reportedly selling a modified Nvidia RTX 5090 graphics card with 96GB of memory on Alibaba for approximately $3,888. This configuration offers three times the VRAM of the standard RTX 5090 and is priced significantly lower than comparable high-memory cards. The modification likely involves using a custom PCB and potentially extracting silicon from other cards, with modified firmware required to support the increased memory capacity, driven by the demand from AI workloads. AI

IMPACT This modified GPU could offer a more affordable high-memory option for AI researchers and developers, potentially lowering the barrier to entry for certain AI workloads.

RANK_REASON This is a third-party modification of a consumer GPU for AI workloads, not a direct release from Nvidia.
