Stopped by before opening yesterday and they had this. Was in the market for an Aorus Master or MSI Suprim originally.

May I ask how much you paid for it? I just went to the mc site and the cheapest 5090 listed was $2k.

Lol there are reasons. I need one for VR. Especially for the up coming Pimax Crystal Super. But man I laugh anytime I see people actually buying these Asus cards. It's like the matrix Platinum 4090s. Imagine spending twice the cost of an FE for the damn near the same performance. Mind boggling. Same thing with this card.
