Done whatsapp them, hopefully they have Asus Strix 4090 in stock? This model is the one I intended to purchase in first place.



There is no warranty for this OEM, if it is dead, money gone.

Yup, I also found someone selling used Zotac 4090 at garagesales
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5506986

Seller mentioned not used for mining
But.....https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=5506597&hl=

Double disasters for me.

Viewnet replied there is no more stock for 4090 and only bundling available if want to purchase 5080.

Dotatech also replied 4090 no stock.

PC Image and Viewnet said bundle with whole pc sets, including PSU, Casing, SSD, RAM.

The expensive items in the bundle where we are not given option to choose at all.

Sigh, I just give up and hope my RTX 3090 can be repaired lah.......

I will not have such luck in remote region in Sarawak.

Yup, hence I am screwed the moment my RTX3090 kicked the bucket.

Ah, I saw that too. It was ROG Strix GeForce RTX™ 4090 BTF which use special connectors with a special mainboard, not 12VHPWR connector.

I pity the one who bought it without realizing it.

PC Image and Viewnet are doing the bundling crap for RTX 5080, you think leh?

NVIDIA GB202 GPU supply for RTX 5090 set to increase, retailer has 147 RTX 5080 Cards but not selling them separately

Castle IT at shopee




WTF? RM9499 for TUF model?

The ASUS distributors MSRP for RTX ASTRAL 5080 model is RM8000.

ASTRAL model is better performing model than TUF.

TUF model supposed to be priced at RM6,899

indeed.

I wonder if this particular unit has missing ROP

So.....any missing ROPs?

8GB GDDR6 is an insult to every gamers and human out there.

At least 12GB with upcoming 3Gbit GDDR7 lah.....

CZone is selling PNY RTX 5080 at RM6299 few days ago without bundle....

Sales Tax 10%
Electronic Import Tax 5% - 10%.

Try not to rely on the AI, it gaves the wrong code.

However, it is true that GPU is not being taxed on import/export.
So, other than 10% sales tax....the remaining amount is scalping?

-.- Still bundling as per two days ago.


The moment you want to buy, one uncle/manager will come out and said it is for bundle only.
Happened twice when I tried to buy Asus RTX 4090 STRIX last December and MSI RTX 5080 this February at PC Image Boulevard Miri.*

Celaka betul.

Ya kah? Last Saturday I went there and the person (youngster this time) at the counter said need bundle.

Somehow really disappointed with PC Image.

During my previous attempts on ASUS RTX 4090 STRIX (using the bonus money) and MSI RTX 5080 SUPREME purchases before this, the same uncle suddenly came out and said, "Can only be sold in bundle, need to purchase whole sets".

You know what the person said to me during my attempt to purchase RM12700 Asus RTX4090 STRIX?
"BUKANNYA KAMU MAMPU BELI PUN".

As if the farker tried to tempt or shame me into spending more for bundling nonsense. Too bad it didn't work.

Scalping action being taken to the max by retailer. Not sure if such action is sanctioned by PC Image top management.

Thanks for the offer, but I already placed a booking fee for RTX 5090 at Dotatech Lingloong on early March after being disappointed by PC Image.

I am in the waiting list for either one of these three:
MSI Geforce RTX 5090 GAMING OC = RM12390
ZOTAC GAMING RTX 5090 AMP EXTREME INFINITY = 12599
PALIT RTX5090 GAMEROCK = 11199

But judging from official scalping price rise from both MSI and Zotac......sigh......

Same here.

Fark the retailers.
