Being based in New Zealand, the XX90 cards come with a significant markup and are wholly unaffordable. They’re priced at about 8% of the median pre-tax salary. I built an entire premium sim rig for less than the cost of a 4090.

What's "wholly unaffordable" for you is not unaffordable for everyone. Not to mention business use where $2k is NBD.
