Modded Nvidia RTX 5090 96 GB VRAM China, Digi Mart USA News (Changsha, China): Hardware repair specialist VIK-on spotted a listing on Xianyu, Alibaba’s secondhand marketplace, advertising a modified Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 with 96 GB of VRAM. As reported by VideoCardz and Notebookcheck, the seller is based in Changsha and offers a complete modification package that reportedly includes custom PCB schematics and modified BIOS firmware.
The listing shows a 6,488,888 yuan asking price, but the seller describes this only as a placeholder and says actual pricing will be negotiated privately. The offer is intended exclusively for business customers, who must reportedly identify their companies and agree to confidentiality requirements.
The seller also claims hardware testing can be arranged through intermediaries, and individual customers are discouraged from inquiring.
Images accompanying the listing reportedly show a heavily modified graphics card populated with Samsung memory modules. The alleged design uses a clamshell memory configuration, placing memory chips on both sides of the PCB to reach the advertised capacity.
A similar 96 GB RTX 5090 listing appeared on Alibaba in September, though its contradictory memory specifications raised questions about its authenticity.
The reported capacity would exceed the 32 GB of a standard RTX 5090 and match the memory of Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell, which would allow larger AI models to be run. However, no independently verified demonstration of this modification functioning as advertised has been published, so the claims remain unconfirmed.
