r/LocalLLaMA's Top Post Is a 96GB RTX 5090 on Alibaba — and a Chinese-Speaking Commenter Debunks It in the Top Comment
A listing for a 96GB RTX 5090 hit 433 upvotes and 133 comments on r/LocalLLaMA, and the highest-voted reply (206 upvotes) checked the Chinese domestic market and called it: modified 48GB 4090s go for ~$3,800, unmodified 32GB 5090s for ~$4,500, and no 96GB 5090 has ever been listed domestically because no driver exists to run one. The verdict — 'likely a scam, or at best a regular 5090.' The signal is less the card than the demand it reveals: at current pricing the community is desperate enough for VRAM that an unverifiable grey-market listing becomes the day's top technical post.
