  "transcript": "I run a small [gpu lab](https://gpulab.net/) in the USA and work closely with two factories in china designing/producing 48gb 4090 PCB's.\n\nThe only recent card weve gotten was the 32gb 4080 super.\n\n**PSA: 96gb 4090's and 5090's are a SCAM (as of Jun 2026) - you will not get the card, they do not exist. People are preying on your desperation.**\n\n\n\n--- Top Comments ---\n\n\n[28 upvotes] Ok Jensen! 😉\n\n[24 upvotes] Nobody can mod 5090 adding extra VRAM at the moment. No leaked VBIOS and many other issues and the memory shortage isn’t even at the top of the list.\n\n[13 upvotes] got a 48go 4090, will let y'all know (I'll post in a week max, opened one and it seems legit, got it for 2500$) \n\n\n\n[7 upvotes] I checked out that post and this comment seems to be key:\n\nhttps://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1ugyqsi/comment/ou40t6d/\n\nBasically, eople are reporting that this is actually a 3rd party card design \nwith a 4090 or 5090 processor frankensteined in. So not from a factory but a chop shop. ",
