Be careful with 96GB 4090 and 5090 listings
As of June 2026, 96GB versions of the 4090 or 5090 s have not been confirmed as real, obtainable products. A warning from someone running a small GPU lab in the United States and working with Chinese factories on 48GB 4090 boards says the only recent modified card they have actually received is a 32GB 4080 Super. Listings or offers for 96GB 4090 or 5090 cards may be scams, because buyers may never receive a real card.
In Shenzhen’s Huaqiangbei ics market, one seller described a possible 96GB 5090 route as buying a 5090 and paying extra to replace the VRAM, for a total around 56,000 yuan, or about $8,200. That still looks risky when an official card with a is around $11,000.
Key points
- No real, obtainable 96GB 4090 or 5090 card is confirmed as of June 2026.
- The only recent modified card confirmed by the GPU lab source is a 32GB 4080 Super.
- A Shenzhen seller described a 96GB 5090 modification costing about $8,200 total.
- The price gap versus a warranted may not justify the scam, failure, or refund risk.
- For work, unverified high-memory cards are not a reliable way to cut costs.
