ASUS GeForce RTX 4090 ROG MATRIX Debuts In China For An Outrageous $8230 US Price, 5X More Expensive Than MSRP
ASUS's flagship GeForce RTX 4090 ROG MATRIX Platinum graphics card has made its debut in China for an insane price of over $8000 US.
The ASUS GeForce RTX 4090 ROG MATRIX Platinum is one of the most expensive graphics cards ever made. It has an MSRP of $3199 US which is twice as expensive as the reference card that costs $1599 US but wait till you hear about what the same card costs in China.

Do keep in mind that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPU had an official MSRP of 12,999 RMB or $1780 US in China. Although that doesn't matter now, there are reports by consumers & certain insiders that retailers are fully involved in scalping and there should technically be no shortage of RTX 4090 GPUs at this time.
