THE NVIDIA AI GPU BLACK MARKET | Investigating Smuggling, Corruption, & Governments
Gamers Nexus investigates the black market for Nvidia AI GPUs, tracing how US export-controlled cards like the RTX 5090 and H20 reach China through smugglers, repair shops that double VRAM, and intermediaries, and finding it bought a banned GPU simply by walking into a Shenzhen office. It says Nvidia plays all sides, calling smuggling a non-starter while reportedly paying $1 million to a president before a 15% revenue-share deal allowed H20 sales.
