A Vietnamese retailer builds AI servers with RTX 5090s to leverage higher memory capacity for AI workloads. Builds machines using various configurations.Nguyencongpc Unveils RTX 5090-Powered AI Server PCs: Uses as Many as Seven RTX 5090 GPUsThe GeForce RTX 5090 was launched at the end of January, and it has been over two months, and yet we don't have sufficient stocks of the GPU. While this is common across all the released RTX 50 series GPUs, the RTX 5090 is particularly more affected due to its high demand and lower supply.The RTX 5090 is the only gaming GPU to feature 32 GB of memory, which makes the 5090 a special one even for non-gaming tasks. As higher memory is highly beneficial for AI tasks, a Vietnamese retailer called "Nguyencongpc" has started to build AI servers using as many as seven RTX 5090 GPUs.2 of 9In the pics, you can see seven Gigabyte RTX 5090 models installed on the server, amounting to almost 4000W of total power consumption. Similarly, there are rigs built using two MSI RTX 5090 GPUs that are aimed at less intensive AI tasks. We don't know the exact specifications of servers with seven RTX 5090s, but the ones with the MSI Gaming Trio RTX 5090 use the AMD platform, featuring the ROG Crosshair X870E Hero motherboard.Image Credit: @I_Leak_VNIt appears the retailer has plenty of cards not only to sell to gamers but also for dedicated AI servers for small businesses. The price of the dual RTX 5090 rig must be around $10,000 and around or over $30,000 for the AI server with seven GPUs. This is because an individual RTX 5090 generally costs $2500+ for most editions at the moment, even though the card was launched for $2000.The Gaming TRIO RTX 5090 is a premium edition, so it might be worth around $3000. The current state of the GPU market and the emergence of such AI servers remind us of the early 2018 era when GPU mining was at its peak, and you would hardly find a gaming GPU. The same repeated in 2021, making it extremely difficult to get your hands on an RTX 30 series GPU.Hopefully, this AI 'mining' servers trend won't pick up the pace, or it will be hard to find the RTX 5090 GPUs. For such purposes, there are already professional GPUs available with higher VRAM capacity, and we have already seen RTX 4090 with 48 GB memory to do such jobs, but the card is hardly good at gaming.News Sources: @I_Leak_VN, FacebookDeal of the Day
