After buying a brand new Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090, one Redditor was left shocked when a small repair, only requested out of fears over future complications, came back quoted at almost $1,000 more than the card itself. This ordeal might be resolved for now, but it leaves Asus scrambling to explain how this happened in the first place.
As the best graphics card available right now, at least until the RTX 5090 shows up, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 costs a pretty penny regardless of where you live. In this case, the Asus ROG Strix White OC gaming edition card cost $2,799 CAD but to repair or replace a small plastic safety indent on the power connection, the cost was quoted at $3,758.23 CAD, a whopping 34% more than the card cost when purchased at retail.
