GPU Modder Warns: 96GB RTX 4090 and 5090 Listings Are a Scam (June 2026)
English summary
A GPU modder operating a small lab in the US and working with Chinese factories warns that 96GB versions of the RTX 4090 and RTX 5090 are a scam as of June 2026. These cards do not exist, and no production is underway; sellers are exploiting the demand for high-VRAM local AI inference. The only recent high-capacity modded card the lab has received is a 32GB RTX 4080 Super, while 48GB RTX 4090 PCBs are in development. The modder urges the community to avoid any 96GB 4090 or 5090 offers.

一位在美国运营小型GPU实验室并与中国工厂合作开发48GB RTX 4090 PCB的修改者警告，截至2026年6月，所有声称96GB显存的RTX 4090和RTX 5090均为骗局。这些显卡并不存在，也无人生产，卖家利用用户对高显存本地AI推理的迫切需求行骗。该实验室最近仅拿到一张32GB的RTX 4080 Super改装卡，48GB 4090仍在开发中。修改者呼吁社区避开任何96GB 4090或5090的售卖信息。
