Thousands of GeForce RTX 4090 transformed into AI accelerators.

This is the reason why you can’t find ones in your local best buy. They are paying premium for it. But it indeed is very helpful, if I can get my hand on a few for my build.

        Although I don’t doubt you, the rendering looks as fake as it gets.

        But is there a way to fankenstein more RAM on a existing 3090? Are there shops I could send mine to?

          Although I don’t doubt you, the rendering looks as fake as it gets.

          Here’s the attribution for that image, "Social media is abuzz with a screengrab of a regional webpage of the NVIDIA website purporting a “GeForce RTX 3090 CEO Edition” graphics card. "

          So tell nvidia to up their rendering game. They should know a little something about graphics or at least know someone that does.

          Supposedly those exact frankensteins are available in China. A poster here on this sub has reported buying some. If you were in China, you could take your 3090 to any of the endless Chinese tech center booths with dudes with the skills and equipment to try to do it. I would ask if they’ve done it before though. You don’t want to be the one they learn on.
