Alleged RTX 5090 Mod With 96 GB VRAM Appears in China

Alleged RTX 5090 Modification Surfaces in China

A listing on a Chinese secondhand marketplace claims to offer a modified Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card with 96 GB of video memory. The seller is reportedly providing custom printed circuit board schematics and modified BIOS firmware, but only to business buyers.

The standard Nvidia RTX 5090 has not been officially announced or released as of this writing. Any modified version with 96 GB of VRAM would represent a significant increase over typical consumer graphics card memory capacities. However, the listing remains unconfirmed and should be treated as a rumor.

Such modifications, if genuine, would likely involve replacing the standard memory modules with higher-density chips and adjusting the card’s firmware to recognize the additional memory. This type of modification is not officially supported by Nvidia and could void warranties or cause stability issues.

The seller’s restriction to business buyers suggests the offering may be targeted at professional users or organizations with specialized compute needs, such as AI training or high-end rendering workloads that benefit from large VRAM capacities.

Until Nvidia officially announces the RTX 5090 series and its specifications, or independent verification of this modification emerges, the claims should be considered speculative.
