I could be wrong but wouldn't there be a pretty high demand in China considering the need for large vram for Ai stuff. I don't pretend to know much of anything about it, but wasn't that the reason the 4090 was banned for sale in China?

no not really. they still need beefier compute units too and most of the banned cards were ai purposed stuff that you cant game on... with upton128gb VRAM.. so the 580 16gb is probably not super useful.
