Shenzhen Suqiao Intelligent Technology, an OEM\/ODM with over a decade of experience building graphics cards, motherboards, and servers, listed the card on Alibaba for $3,888. That&#8217;s roughly 35% less than a standard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/352241\/gpu-prices-jumped-15-in-one-month-rtx-5090-now-136-above-msrp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">RTX 5090 currently costs in the US<\/a>, and a fraction of what NVIDIA charges for its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/351549\/nvidia-rtx-pro-6000-blackwell-96-gb-gpu-now-costs-usd-16-000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell<\/a>. The latter uses the same GB202 die and now starts at a whopping $16,000. <\/p>\n<p>Suqiao likely built this with a custom PCB running clamshell memory, packing GDDR7 modules on both sides of the board to double capacity, the same approach NVIDIA itself uses on the Pro 6000. The GPU die may come from harvested RTX 5090 units, reballed onto the new board and running on leaked or modified firmware, a method Chinese workshops already used to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/340880\/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4090-gets-a-48-gb-mod-and-step-by-step-tutorial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">push the RTX 4090 to 48 GB VRAM<\/a>. The listing does raise some doubts, though, since it mentions GDDR6X memory at 14 Gbps, which doesn&#8217;t line up with a genuine 96 GB Blackwell build.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/img\/RYhqKPYtBBQVzlNW.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" data-width=\"859\" data-height=\"859\" data-fancybox=\"g352610\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/RYhqKPYtBBQVzlNW_thm.jpg\" width=\"130\" height=\"130\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/img\/P2dzeFywrh1k41IF.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" data-width=\"829\" data-height=\"960\" data-fancybox=\"g352610\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/P2dzeFywrh1k41IF_thm.jpg\" width=\"112\" height=\"130\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a> Other Alibaba sellers are apparently asking closer to $5,900 for similar cards, so Suqiao&#8217;s price sits on the low end even within this gray market. If legitimate, it would give AI developers a much cheaper way to get large VRAM pools without paying workstation prices, though buyers would be taking on firmware instability and no official support in return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Chinese manufacturer is now selling a modified GeForce RTX 5090 with 96 GB of memory, three times&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":622222,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[61,60,80],"class_list":["post-622221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/622221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=622221"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/622221\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/622222"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=622221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=622221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=622221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
