Vietnamese Store Assembles AI Server, Uses Seven GIGABYTE RTX 5090 GAMING OC Cards

I_Leak_VN, a Vietnamese PC hardware influencer/leaker, reckons that the region's first GeForce RTX 5090 GPU-based "AI/mining/scalper" rig has just emerged. Earlier today, their social media post provided an informative look at a local shop's "Training AI: X7 RTX 5090 32G" build. Apparently, the retail outlet has assembled this monstrous setup for an important customer. A Nguyễn Công PC employee sent personal thanks to GIGABYTE Vietnam; for the supply of seven GeForce RTX 5090 GAMING OC graphics cards. As showcased in uploaded photos (see below), these highly-prized units were placed neatly in a row—as part of an airy open plan system. After inspecting the store's heavily watermarked shots, Western media outlets have (visually) compared the "Training AI: X7" rig to crypto mining builds of a certain vintage.

Tom's Hardware spotted multiple Super Flower Leadex 2000 W PSUs—providing sufficient juice to a system that: "can easily be valued at over $30,000, considering these GPUs go for $3500-$4000 on a good day." Wccftech's report extended coverage to Nguyễn Công PC's other AI offerings; mainly "more traditional" PC builds that utilize dual MSI GeForce RTX 5090 card setups—a "dual rig" likely costs ~$10,000. The shop's selection of gaming-grade hardware is not too surprising, given the performance prowess of NVIDIA's GB202-300-A1 GPU variant. Naturally, Team Green's cutting-edge enterprise hardware unlocks the full potential of "Blackwell" GPU designs—but the company can charge sky-high prices for this level of equipment. Going back to early 2024, Tiny Corp. started to make noise about its "tinybox" AI platform—consisting of multiple XFX Speedster MERC310 RX 7900 XTX cards, rather than AMD's freshly launched Instinct MI300X accelerator.

AI is the new cryptomining that's here to stay. Whether we like it or not.

Hmm... why is it so hard to find a GPU...

They say record sales but none make it to the shelves..

Hmmm... ever get the feeling the cards are stacked against you?

Not. The RTX 5080 is a weak card, it could be much faster with the same memory size, but with bigger amount of CUDA, RT Cores etc. This card started from $999 and realistically from $1200-1300 and should be firstly faster and secondly realistically available.

The article is about 5090, the fastest consumer lvl card for any kind of workloads, including LLM training.

A completely pointless waste of money. Just hire gpu time for 1/20th of the total cost...

Makes a nice headline I guess.
