The U.S. ban on Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4090, one of the best graphics cards, cut off the supply to China. That's only one part of the problem. According to a report from HKEPC, vendors are unable to offer GeForce RTX 4090 replacements due to the limited stock from the U.S. sanctions, only refunds.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is the most coveted gaming graphics card in China. Gamers who managed to pick one up before the import ban were lucky. However, those same owners must pray that their luck doesn't run out. Due to the U.S. sanctions, no more GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards are going into China, so Nvidia's AIB partners cannot offer replacement units. Manufacturers are reportedly handling GeForce RTX 4090 RMAs on a case-by-case basis.
