NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 with 96GB VRAM Confirmed; Mass Production for AI Workloads Expected Soon

The GeForce RTX 4090 is currently rumored to be undergoing testing, with expectations that a variant featuring an impressive 96 GB of VRAM will soon enter mass production.

New Developments on the GeForce RTX 4090: 96 GB VRAM Variant Incoming

Recent reports suggest that the anticipated RTX 4090 may indeed come equipped with more than 24 GB of VRAM, including a high-capacity 96 GB variant. While details are not officially confirmed, leaks indicate this release is imminent, accompanied by a model featuring 48 GB of memory.

RTX 4090 96GB confirmed! I went to the GPU factory one last time to sell my last 4090 24GB and buy a brand new 48GB; 24GB was bought in late 2023 for ￥15k($2059) now sell for ￥18.2k($2498) and buy 48GB for ￥22300($3061) @bdsqlsz @main_horse pic.twitter.com/U01jQbiY7h

Twitter user @eisneim recently tweeted confirmation of the 96 GB edition of the GeForce RTX 4090. Although it remains in the testing phase, its eventual release appears promising. Upon successful completion of testing, a broader launch is expected.

Readers should approach this news cautiously. A factory employee has substantiated these claims, lending credibility to the reports. However, another user pointed out conflicting information from a different factory source that denied the feasibility of producing a 96 GB version. The initial claim suggested that the 96 GB design is indeed plausible across different facilities.

The user mentioned that the 96 GB version may not necessarily guarantee enhanced stability, and the pricing could be significantly higher—potentially double that of the 48 GB variant. This could be a possible reason why factories may prioritize the production of 48 GB models but are also considering launching the 96 GB variant in the next few months.

To achieve 96 GB of VRAM, the RTX 4090 utilizes a 384-bit memory bus, requiring custom PCB designs to integrate at least four GDDR6X memory modules via 12 channels. Currently, 2GB is the maximum capacity per GDDR6 or GDDR6X module available, although some sources claim that a manufacturer might have developed a method to utilize 4GB memory chips for the 96 GB model, though details about the supplier remain unclear.

In the coming months, clarity regarding the availability of the 96 GB RTX 4090 should emerge. If realized, this version’s substantial VRAM capacity could significantly enhance tasks related to artificial intelligence and data processing. However, it is worth noting that this increase in memory may not yield substantial advantages for gaming performance. Furthermore, with the growing challenge of sourcing AI accelerators in regions like China, consumer-grade GPUs with expanded VRAM could provide a more accessible alternative.
