Taiwanese Retailer Won’t Sell The RTX 5090 Alone, Forcing Buyers Into An $7,481 Eight-Motherboard Bundle

It can be difficult to purchase an RTX 5090 as a standalone product in some regions, which is why some retailers are now bundling these high-end GPUs with more products.

Something unusual is going on in Taiwan, and it's tied to the high-end RTX 50 series GPUs. Previously, we saw a Taiwanese retailer selling RTX 5080 in bundles since the product wasn't available as a standalone product. Some retailers been doing this due to GPU shortages and high prices due to the RAMpocalypse.

Now there is another Taiwanese retailer that is selling ridiculous bundles we have never seen before. This is PC Home, which sells PC components in Taiwan, but it seems that the retailer doesn't have an RTX 5090 as a standalone product. We tried to search for such listings, but could only find large bundles. There are like 3-4 RTX 5090 bundles, which offer not one or two, but multiple components with the GPU.

The most ridiculous one is the GIGABYTE AORUS RTX 5090 Master bundle, which sells you not one or two, but a whopping eight motherboards with the GPU. That's not all; users also get a 1000W power supply. As you may have expected, all the motherboards are from GIGABYTE, and these include both Intel and AMD motherboards, including the B860M chipset motherboards, an X870E motherboard, and five B850 chipset motherboards.

The total cost for the bundle is $241,290 New Taiwan Dollars, which is equivalent to around US$7481 . The combined cost for the eight motherboards and the PSU comes to around US$1600, which means the GPU costs around $6,000. So, the bundle doesn't give you the RTX 5090 for cheap. Similarly, we have the MSI GeForce RTX 5090 Gaming TRIO OC bundle, which offers three MSI MPG X870E Carbon motherboards, two MSI B650M Gaming Plus motherboards, and the flagship Zen 5 Ryzen 9 9950X3D CPU.

It costs $274,090 New Taiwan dollars, which translates to around US$8498 . However, there is one interesting GPU bundle, which includes only GPUs. This is the ASUS ProArt RTX 5090 OC Dual GPU bundle, which offers four ASUS Dual Radeon RX 9060 XT GPUs. This bundle costs $248,990 New Taiwan Dollar or US$7720. The fourth bundle is the GIGABYTE AORUS RTX 5090 AI BOX, which is an external GPU enclosure with a desktop RTX 5090 inside.

This bundle ships with one GIGABYTE X870E AORUS Master motherboard, two GIGABYTE RTX 5060 GPUs, and three GIGABYTE B850M Force motherboards. This costs $267,090 New Taiwan Dollars or US$8281.
