PC market is now like Hi-Fi/AV market in malaysia where gears are easily 5x-6x USD. 
and you realized aircon is actually the most expensive hardware to run

Expect 3080ti now to be starting from 6k min, all the Strix, FTW3, Suprim level cards all expect to be more expensive than 3090.

Lmao next 2 months gonna be hilarious on the market.

What da faaarkkk?! Wah. I didnt realize Msia got so many rich fella till they can up price so much

Thats why I say lor, where got economy problem? All so rich. 

Furthermore now got i-Sinar, can do installment 

+1 Split

personally, if 10 years ago, leadtek.. but theyre kinda disappeared from high performance mainstream locally. So my absolute go to is gigabyte at the moment as the best all rounder.

Zotac is surprisingly decent for reliability and warranty but dont expect performance being the most affordable AIB all the time.

MSI meh in specs vs price. but warranty is good while reliability is just acceptable.

avoid: Evga reliability is not so good and warranty abit unsure outside of US. Asus is my absolute black list to buy brand new. It has good spec but there’s a chance of lemon and warranty is harder to claim than insurance. Better get an asus that has at least gone through 1 year of use to be assured it has no problems.

speaking of coil whine, amongst all the cards ive used, evga tends to be the worst, asus next then msi, zotac and lastly gigabyte having the least.

I just search around yesterday at my area Johor Bahru - Plaza Pelangi PC Mall.

Actually they is plenty of 3070, 3080 and 3090 from Gigabyte, Asus, Zotac and MSI, but badly all need to purchase with PC bundle.
They also have AMD RX 6800 XT but not many where also same need purchase with PC bundle.

The reason they given is limited stock, they want keep for user purchase new PC... ...

This is same to AMD processor.
Only Intel processor can purchase separately include iCore 9 latest.

I need to buy some foods to keep, so step out and I go during working hour around 3 PM to reduce clouded, less people.

I see, no wonder it is like no exist anymore.
I now decide stay at home jail also. I am shock on this Monday as one of the PC shop at Plaza Pelangi staff is infected with COVID-19 on Sunday night and I am going to the same company shop on Sunday nigh as well for buying the GPU holder, but lucky it is different shop.

They have two shop there, one is normal PC shop, another is Concept Store located at different area. The staff infected with COVID-19 is from Concept Store. Scary!
The Concept Store is already closed for the moment but Plaza Pelangi still businesses.

I pray I am ok and not infected. Now I am WFH, I should Stay at Home. Haha!

Hehehe. As expected, GPU shortage due to miners.

Too bad no deals right now for 3060ti. Got a Gigabyte 3060ti and thought there would be a free game 

Haha but the last time I bought a GPU was a gtx970 and I think I got Witcher 3 from it

i think the covid sales.. all made ppl head muddy

wait larr.. guaranteed one of them will feel da hurt when everything back to normal.. all holding stock etc...

Last Saturday saw Zotac 3070 holo 3199 in digital mall, today see in lazada stock same card at 3298. I think last week i saw the zotac holo in lazada only 31xx weh.

Price keep rising making me think I am in venezuela now.

How the tables have turned

I rmb 15 yrs ago we make trips to sim lim Square to buy phones bec its way cheaper there.

ikr... now when i working there, i balik malaysia to buy pulak.

sold my 2nd hand lotac trinity oc rtx3080 (no rgb) for 4k

since i bought it few months ago, the only game i played is dota 2 and chess 😄 feels lucky to get my money back plus xtra cash(plus ady claimed cod cold war last time)

I bought at the end of 2019, the hype for AMD was very high already, higher than Intel. Then to add insult, I found x570 to be cheaper than z390 too. 

What's in it for nvidia?

Nvidia needs to make a response to criticism from gamers who can't buy GPUs, saying they're selling to miners.
