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.

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

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'm happy with my RX 6800 that I bought at scalper prices because I wanted to build a hackintosh 🙃 I hope it serves me well for another 5-10 years.

Prices like this and a crappy 5080 are going to make my 4090 go up in price

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.

What is up with the dollar in NZ and AU? Are we doing okay?

We have some truly terrible trade agreements.
