Taiwanese Retailer Offers NVIDIA RTX 5090 Bundled with H610 Motherboards, Purchase of 40 Units Required

Due to the limited availability of the GeForce RTX 5090, a Taiwanese retailer is presenting an unusual offer: purchase dozens of H610 motherboards to secure a single unit of the highly sought-after RTX Blackwell GPU.

Unconventional Bundle: RTX 5090 Paired with 40 Gigabyte H610M-K Motherboards

For those hoping to acquire the RTX 5090 at the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP), the retailer Momoshop could have what you’re looking for. However, this deal necessitates pairing the flagship GPU with a collection of compact, older-generation motherboards that utilize the LGA 1700 socket. Unfortunately, your only option may be to purchase a bundle featuring multiple H610 motherboards.

The bundle in question includes an astounding 40 units of the Gigabyte H610M-K DDR4 motherboards, marketed at NT$191, 500 or approximately $5, 833. This deal includes one Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5090 Gaming OC graphics card, alongside the forty entry-level motherboards, which many may find difficult to resell.

This extraordinarily peculiar bundle raises eyebrows. Even if the retailer had simply bundled the GPU with a single H610M-K motherboard, it would have seemed somewhat reasonable since the motherboard itself wouldn’t carry a high price tag. However, acquiring forty of them takes the cost to a level that exceeds the GeForce RTX 5090 itself—effectively more than twice its price.

Standard pricing for the GeForce RTX 5090 FE and entry-level models begins at $1, 999, while premium variants may rise above $2, 599. With their current scarcity in the market, some models are expected to sell for close to $3, 000, especially in certain regions. Retailers have historically engaged in bundling techniques to alleviate the shortage and counter scalping issues, yet this specific strategy appears almost comical.

The juxtaposition here is striking: while the MSRP of the GeForce RTX 5090 is already steep for many consumers, pairing it with such an extensive number of motherboards feels absurd. It seems the retailer may be attempting to offload excess stock of the Gigabyte H610M models, but it’s hard to imagine anyone with a level head willingly spending an extra $2, 000 or more on this package.

The GeForce RTX 5090 undoubtedly stands as one of the most powerful gaming GPUs available today. However, if you’re not inclined to wait for broader availability, consider the recently launched RX 9070 XT, offering near RTX 5070 Ti performance for $150 less.
