Always a gamble with the top gaming cards, last years it was crypto mining, now it is the US ban of AI chips to China like the H100, A100, H800, A800, and L40S, therefore the RTX 4090 series cards get salvaged and repurposed for model training in smaller data centers.
Market price in China is $400-900 higher, so scalpers make a killing with those cards.
