Taiwanese press outlets have put a spotlight on an inexplicably devised "GIGABYTE RTX 5090 Super Bundle." According to regional reports, a local company—Deyuan Computer—has listed this unusual multi-piece package on Taiwan's MOMO e-commerce platform. GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards are a hot commodity nowadays—unfortunately, limited supplies and scalping activities have created a volatile environment for regular punters. Retail outlets have implemented various "nifty" sales methods in attempt to create a fairer buying environment—pre- and post-launch. Hong Kong's HKEPC Media has acknowledged that locals are very used to a "bundling culture" that requires the purchase of superfluous extra items.
By comparison, these offerings look quite reasonable when lined up against a Taiwanese business dealing in staggeringly silly combination platters. To claim ownership of a single GIGABYTE RTX 5090 GAMING OC graphics card, potential buyers are strong-armed into adding forty(!) GIGABYTE H610M-K-DDR4 motherboards to virtual shopping carts. A grand total expenditure of NT$191,500 (~$5832 USD) unlocks "GIGABYTE RTX 5090 Super Bundle" ownership. By itself, the high-end/award-winning GIGABYTE graphics card would cost NT$91,900 (~$2796 USD). An individual entry-level H610M-K-DDR4 Micro ATX model comes in at NT$2490 (~$76 USD). Willing customers will have to deal with an inventory of slightly outdated motherboards—a full build's worth of components would make more sense. Around late January, Taiwan's AutoBuy advertised an anti-scalping deal for GeForce RTX 5080 cards—requiring shoppers to load up on parts for a near complete Intel Core Ultra 200S CPU-based system.
