      Yes but not right now. Chinese importers stocked their supply of RTX 4090 and thus a scarcity of it. Expect it in 6 months (new year’s coming and thus demand do go up) to go lower.

        No. The cards will get ever so slightly more expensive in china. They will be freely available as they are right now in russia.

          In the retail market yes, that’s what small scale smuggling is for. Getting several shipping containers to fill your DC with, will be harder however.

      It’s probably already baked in, but it might result in a slightly lower price.

      But honestly, if you can afford a 4090, then saving $50 on it should be completely and utterly irrelevant.

      If $50-100 makes that big a difference, then you shouldn’t be pissing away that much on a GPU.
