All prices in NZD. Highest priced air cooled card, the Asus ROG Astral, is $6299 and the Asus ROG AIO is $6599.
Even after stripping out the 15% sales tax the lowest priced card is still USD 2655.
I heard that MicroCenter had less than 300 5090’s for the entirety of the USA. Nvidia has taken the nintendo approach to controlling how much hardware they release.
Better release a bunch of articles about how Chinese AI is scary so we can keep video card prices high because our bosses invested our retirement fund into NVIDEA
Prices like this and a crappy 5080 are going to make my 4090 go up in price
Welcome to fucking around with global markets and the effects of AI on GPU pricing.
Meh; I’m happy with my 4090. Got lucky enough to score one on a discount on launch day. It’s going to last me well into the 2030s.
I tried getting a 5080 yesterday, obv missed out.
Then i tried to get either a 4080 super or a 4090, which seemingly everyone else did too as they all sold out.
My 3070 isn’t cutting it anymore for me, i might just get a 7900 xtx or something as those are still available.
I believe nvidia said there will be low 5090 stock for 2 weeks. Can’t explain the other cards tho.
