They are even $1700 in USA ... The MSI SUPRIM X 4090..

Here is a review that even states the price... https://www.techpowerup.com/review/msi-geforce-rtx-4090-suprim-x/


Seriously we are being ripped off here in UK and don't want to hear the £ vs $ rubbish and VAT... He's just showed me the price on his account £1749.99 and free shipping. :cry:


Retailers here are just making up prices, some being honest others taking advantage. Simple as that.

They have to pay tax on top of the listed price in the USA – usually 20% (a little lower in some states). So anyone buying a $1700 card is actually paying $2040 at the checkout.

Well I'll just go with the review sites for noise, thermals etc. At least it wont have an overly plastic shroud and hold value better etc. I think the Gigabyte OC is fine at £1699 what the competition were charging, but not so much at £1900 here. Just feel like I wouldn't be able to enjoy it as much as I should spending this kind of money.

I can see that price via the Nvidia store. They seem to link through to the UK retailers too.

It's nowhere near 20% you've plucked that out of thin air. Alabama has the highest I believe at 7.5% and there are some local taxes that can bring it up to around 13-14% specifically in bama otherwise other states it tops out around 5-9%.

Not all states have State taxes, Oregon being one right of the top of my head 0% sales tax. My partner she is from USA I know how state taxes work ;), That was just an example I found quickly.

They charge what people are prepared to pay, if people didn't buy the prices would drop, but they do, so on it goes....

20%?? There is no state with a sales tax over 10% and some have no sales tax.

You're right. Serves me right for believing what someone else said instead of looking it up myself. You can't trust people! They're full of ****!
