What happened
Nvidia is selling Founder's Edition RTX 5090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5070 GPUs at MSRP in person at PAX West via a Verified Priority Access program, marking a rare return to list-price direct sales after prolonged scalper-driven shortages.
Why it matters
If MSRP in-person sales signal easing RTX 50-series supply, Malaysian builders sourcing GPUs for local AI inference and fine-tuning may see grey-market and retail prices trend downward in coming months — worth delaying non-urgent GPU purchases rather than paying current inflated prices.
Discussion angle
Are RTX 50-series prices in Malaysia (Low Yat, Shopee) still inflated, and is now the time to wait or buy for a local AI dev rig?
