A modified GeForce RTX 5090 featuring 96 GB of VRAM is appearing on Alibaba with a listed price of $3,888, just under $4,000. Chinese manufacturers are repurposing Nvidia’s flagship card to hold a memory capacity far beyond the standard offering. Tom's Hardware notes the unexpected memory size, while tech‑insider.org highlights the sub‑$4,000 price point.
NeoTeo flags inconsistencies in the specifications, suggesting the advertised figures may not reflect a functional product. Potential buyers, Nvidia, and Alibaba sellers are the immediate stakeholders. Consumers seeking extreme memory for AI or rendering tasks may be drawn to the deal, while Nvidia could face brand‑integrity questions.
The marketplace will likely monitor additional listings and any official response from Nvidia as the situation develops.
