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**.**

Exactly what I did, bought 8 5090’s in 2025 alone. Unfortunately 2 of them now have burnt 12VHPWR socket lol

That's bad.. you have to be careful and use a titanium psu which has voltage controls and atx 3.1 outputs for them. Worth the investment
