Yeah, I own 2 rigs. I have another one in Aus. Usually cards are not wasted. The older one will be ported to a lesser rig or used as a spare card or "recycled" in the forum. Just the Malaysian mentality of wasted lar, water 🐟 lar, or whatever it's termed.

Those cards with double the RAM are not cheap. 3090 is a good example. Mr Huang know s how to milk the market and the 3090 comes with a super premium price tag.

If there's no stock for 3080/3090, don't have to be so desperate for it yah. Sooner or later, every potential buyer will get to own one.
What's more , even better AIB models coming soon, Strix, Aorus , Lightning, Hof etc...etc..
You don't need a 3080/3090 to live/survive day-to-day.
Just let it be, stress free.

Look at that babe, I don't mind paying for this thing.

G-Sync COMPATIBLE stuff is not the same as the real G-Sync (with
nvidia hardware build into the display).

Don't get too over excited about it.

Yeah, a good reminder for everyone not to skimp on components.
What's da use if you bought a 3090 and skimp on the power supply ? It's like throwing a 3950x into a cheapo B450.
Doesn't really matter if you buy a quality 1.2 kw psu right now, it can be used Years down the road.

Mentioned earlier to everyone not to get too DeSpeRate over this.
We will eventually own one.
It's nice and good to be patient.
No worries...

Why is the Tuf price more than announced earlier ?
Abt 600 bucks overpriced

Don't say it sooner, dat Strix version might not be priced normally as the TUF.
that means it carries the usual Asus premium

Add Galax to the list, from their website product page, looks like 6 poscaps (Ex Gamer, most likely also same for SG)

Off topic, but just want to share since it's mentioned above.
Gone fully wireless now, bought G613 and G604.
Both are awesome, but you lose those Fancy rgb since both are battery powered by AA batteries. Do not have to bother recharging them. G913, yes it's nice but overpriced ( you can buy 2 g613 and 1 G 604) Also needs recharging.
price between g603 & 604 is very slim. But 604 is bigger mouse. Might not appeal to some. But you get your money's worth.

One clue on other sites where ppl state they experienced their card run cooler with the new driver. This already suggest the card is running slower and drawing less power. Only Nvidia tweaked the driver to show higher boost, so consumers don't see it as a performance downgrade. Or I should say like throwing sands into ppl eyes .

I have been using mine for 6 years and have not worried abt psu ever since. At that time, things was cheaper cos it RM3.20 - RM 3.40 to the dollar. Dat 4770k/4790k only 1.1 to 1.2k if I m not mistaken.

Again there's no such thing as bigger PSU being wasted. Just grab a 1kw/1.2kw QUALITY PSU and be worried free years down the road. Period.

If ppl can spend 4k - 8k on a gpu, they shouldn't be skimping on the PSU. Unless of course they are Cheapskate . Yes, those fellas buying high cpu/gpu and cheapo out on other things.

Heard that some TUF cards have arrived but shops still insist on full system bundle.

May not be a genuine seller. chance of laundering..........
taking advantage of desperados.

Both versions are available locally at the shops.
Saw that oc version but it has to b bundled initially due to limited stock

Don't really see what's all the fuss and frustrations all abt.
If 3080/3090 cards difficult to get, then just leave it alone
Until supply normalized. Hey, I m still using Turing GPU.

Ah, if this can be turned into a consumers activism, it will be great start. Consumers rights in Malaysia is often ignore d n virtually non existent. That's lead to over pricing of products or deliberate confused price to fleece consumers. In Aus, supermarkets will display xxxx price per 100 grams (in addition to their price per pack) be it meat or biscuits or fruits or vegetable, etc.
Overpriced of your products, or lousy services; shame on you xxxx company. Malaysian consumers should Wake up !!!

I did rather pay for 3080 Strix or Master/Xtreme or Lightning rather than the dumbo priced 3090

Things getting scandalous in MSI lately. CEO dead few months back after "falling" off building.
Engaging in dubious business practice now.

Look at the big navi preview, hinting that it's somewhere between 2080ti and 3080.
