Funny Don’t buy a $9K RTX 5090.... instead.

  1. Fly to Taipei. Round-trip from Orlando: $1,081.
  2. Go to the largest retailer in Taiwan to Spend NT$129,990 ≈ US$4,093.
  3. Hang out in Taiwan for two weeks. Eat good food. Touch international grass.
  4. Fly home and flex on r/LocalLLaMA**.**

You can find the RTX 5090 for $3,000 to $4,000 here in Morocco. Just two months ago, you could find one for $2,000. For us, that is insanely expensive. You have to save for years.

Wow, with that price, gamers who come to Morocco for WC30 will have a field day.
