Leaked video footage reveals Chinese factories stripping NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 GPUs of their GPU die and GDDR7 memory chips. The video, obtained by HKEPC on X, shows technicians desoldering the GB202 die and GDDR7 memory chips from the RTX 5090s. These components are then transferred onto custom PCBs with dual-slot blower-style coolers, indicating the newly created GPUs are intended for AI server racks.
The operation is far from sloppy and involves a well-organized production line. From procurement, unboxing, and dismantling to desoldering, repurposing, testing, validation, and repackaging, the entire process is thoroughly documented. The worst part of this process is the procurement stage, where these factories obtain RTX 5090 GPUs from various brands, including Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, and Founders Edition models.
The RTX 5090 is NVIDIA's most powerful consumer GPU, worth significantly more than its original MSRP.
