Chinese companies are actively switching to using Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 gaming graphics cards in artificial intelligence accelerators. The portal reports this WCCFTech.
According to analysts, around 50 thousand gaming graphics cards have been converted in China over the past month, and they are now working as AI accelerators. This is due to the introduction of US sanctions that prohibit the export of gaming and specialized video cards to China.
It was noted that local companies managed to purchase a large number of flagship RTX 4090 graphics cards even before the ban came into force and are now adapting them to their needs. To do this, they disassemble the graphics cards and remove the GPUs and GDDR6X video memory, then mount them in custom cases with dual-slot fans for cooling.
After the unusual process, the remaining components are sold on the secondary market, and video cards ready for artificial intelligence tasks are tested for performance in special programs.
According to rumors, Nvidia will introduce RTX 4080 Super, RTX 4070 Ti Super and RTX 4070 graphics cards on January 9.
