How Chinese Factories Turn Gaming Graphics Cards Into Powerful AI Servers

A recent video takes us inside a Chinese factory where the company CT transforms RTX 5090 gaming graphics cards into specialized equipment for artificial intelligence servers. Instead of creating gaming devices, workers carefully remove the powerful chips and memory from the original cards and place them onto new circuit boards designed for use in computer servers.

These new server graphics cards use blowers to keep them cool and are built to fit easily into server racks. Each card goes through detailed reassembly and intense testing, running for up to twenty four hours to make sure they work perfectly in demanding AI setups.

This process creates server level graphics cards that are just as powerful as the originals but ready for business and scientific use with artificial intelligence. The transformation is much more advanced than simple modification and helps meet the growing demand for AI hardware.
