Videocardz reports on a leaked video showing a large-scale AI conversion factory in China where rows of GeForce RTX 5090 cards—including rare Founders Edition units—are disassembled and rebuilt as AI-oriented accelerators. Under export controls, the consumer flagship has become feedstock for DIY AI cards, with the footage showing trays of stripped boards and assembly-line workers. It also explains where the last retail 5090s have been going.
