Asus's latest RTX 5090 GPU is not one you can simply buy or even pick up from a shelf with ease. This is not the first luxury item from the Taiwanese brand however, which has also released a Middle Eastern exclusive gold edition for approximately $ 7,000 previously.
… so an almost prohibited “export” to China
platedgold-finned to appease the leader of the gov that brought on said restrictions. Maybe it will be a state gift.(Jk, gold look is very popular/has its place in Asia overall compared to Europe or north America. As a limited production of an exclusive high-end card centred around an already exclusive GPU, it makes marketing sense imo.)
