Nvidia is the most valuable company in the world right now. AI has helped them thrive during this technology boom. In addition, the company also dominates the gaming graphics card segment. The company's gaming GPU prices have skyrocketed in recent years. Users still have some options from Intel or AMD. However, their popularity and compatibility are still far behind Nvidia.
With each major upgrade, the American semiconductor company has pushed the price of this component to a new level. The GTX 1080Ti line used to start at $ 700. Now the flagship 5090 is nearly 3 times more expensive, listed at $ 2,000 . However, this is only the basic option from the company. Options from third-party manufacturers, with heatsinks or liquid cooling systems, with overclocking ... push it to a much higher price on the shelf.

According to Mr. Dao Tien, representative of An Phat PC, the 5090 series is currently priced at VND80-100 million in Vietnam. On the other hand, the product is not always available when this product is sought after by AI users. With a large VRAM capacity, this is the optimal choice for building training and operating systems for generative intelligence. They are also more accessible than specialized AI products, whose supply is controlled from the US.
Gamers also have to compete with coin miners. Game cards provide good processing performance for this task. In addition, they also have high liquidity when no longer needed and want to liquidate.
“The price is high but demand is still high. Especially during the summer holidays or when a good game is released, users are still willing to spend money to install a new machine,” Mr. Tien added.
The fluctuation in the component market also affects gaming laptops. The price of this product is also increasingly expensive, with high configuration versions. End users often have little opportunity to experience the product. Many dealers have display machines but they are sealed, customers cannot try them out, because of the high value.

Therefore, some stores are looking to expand the experience store format to make it easier for users to access expensive products. Asus just opened ROG Exclusive Store in Ho Chi Minh City at the end of July. In addition to selling products, this dealer also has a full range of computers, graphics cards, monitors and gaming accessories of the company.
Customers can come to try out and explore other options before deciding to buy. This is also a popular form of sales in many countries. Instead of supermarkets with many brands, authorized dealers focus on a single brand.
