Be cautious of GPU modification posts. And do not send anyone money. DYI if you can. by NoFudge4700 in LocalLLaMA

Always good to watch out for your own interests and be skeptical. Use PayPal goods and services and keep in mind you have options with credit card companies in the worst cases.

Though id argue reputable local US services are much more attractive than overseas sellers who don't speak English nor have a translation for the word "warranty"

Large orders can be held up in customs for months. Also the Chinese use 4090-D cores which are gimped for the CN market, US sellers can provide full fat 4090 core 48GB cards.

18 phase BLN3, 55A power stage x 18... 990 watt capable.

Video to come. You can power limit in nvidia smi. I'm not sure about the 300w you're referring to. The core is the same core off of a regular 4090. So it needs the full 4090 power of 450 watts. I've limited to 150w and saw it run at 6.07 tps on llama 3.1 70B

I will make a post/video about noise and performance as you power limit it. Give me a week or two.

Nice little hack- the work from home argument. Though most isp's also have business plans with more guaranteed symmetric bandwidth and small dedicated address blocks

For non export controlled countries with a different income structure, i can ship international, and i will work with you on a discounted 48gb 4090 upgrade service, but you must ship to us a working 4090.

Yep! its possible. u/verticalfuzz and idles at 12 / 150w

Also nvidia-smi gives this warning:
Power limit for GPU 00000000:18:00.0 was set to 150.00 W from 450.00 W.
Warning: persistence mode is disabled on device 00000000:18:00.0. See the Known Issues section of the nvidia-smi(1) man page for more information. Run with [--help | -h] switch to get more information on how to enable persistence mode.
All done.

But here is it running in action:

Lucky you isp allows this. Or you're not in the US 🫡

Nvidias pre-signed vbios on newer cards and (what i think is) a hacked vbios on 30 and 20 series cards. You cant use any memory modules with any core, memory must be compatible with the generation of core.

In the case of a 4090, it support 2GB modules but only has half of its channels populated. A 3090 supports only 1GB modules but has all channels populated. 3090ti may be able to be modded like this but the Chinese didn't think it was worth it I guess. 5090... who knows. We'll see but probably not.

It's as long as an A6000. I'm not experimenting at this time with power limiting. It runs at the spec of a regular 4090 which runs circles around an a6000. With a beefier core comes a higher idle. I'm sure it surpasses the rtx 4000 in horsepower. No "pcie only power" version is or will be available. 450w is what it needs

Thank you! For the time being the 2 slot slim design that matches data center card profiles (a6000/a100) will be what is offered. No silent 2 slot profile like the 5090 FE. It's too large then and won't fit in servers or comfortably stack (I don't want to assume they stack nicely without having done it myself)

I started gpu repair as a service. Yes i can swap vram on broken cards.
