An announcement has appeared on the Chinese trading platform Goofish for the sale of a finished system unit with a non-standard version of the GeForce RTX 5090 video card, equipped with 96 GB of video memory. The seller offers this configuration exclusively to corporate clients, subject to the signing of a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), and the price indicated on the page serves only as a stub – the real one will be revealed upon request.

The photo of the printed circuit board attached to the announcement shows a graphics processor labeled GB202-300-A1, which is used in retail GeForce RTX 5090. 16 Samsung GDDR7 memory chips with a capacity of 3 GB each with a data transfer rate of 28 Gbps are soldered around the chip – in total, this gives 48 GB on the front side of the board. The original model, we recall, has 16 2 GB chips with the same speed.
To get the claimed 96 GB, the authors of such a modification would have to place 16 more similar chips on the back side of the printed circuit board, but the authors of VideoCardz could not verify their presence from the published image. The 2532 marking on the chip indicates the 32nd week of 2025 – if this modification really works, the processor for it was almost certainly removed from the regular consumer model.
A Russian enthusiast and electronics repair specialist VIK-on drew attention to the unusual lot. He himself considers the creation of such an accelerator technically possible. According to the specialist, the printed circuit board could have been borrowed from the professional RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q adapter, which natively supports 96 GB of GDDR7 memory. The main difficulty with such an upgrade is adapting the VBIOS firmware to a non-standard amount of memory. AI could potentially help with this.
There is a possibility that the announcement may turn out to be a simple scam – no one has yet confirmed the functionality of this video card.
