That the first 4090 not melting the cable or broken the pcb... I will wait for the super version

Not sure if either of them is true.

This is how Nvidia is making record profits of late, i.e. banking on the desperation of China. For a cut down RTX 4090, they are basically charging them the same MSRP, if not higher, because Nvidia knows that people will still buy and hoard them. So this is just like 3 years back where Nvidia knows every card will be sold out due to mining craze, so happily charge whatever they want.

A 12% lower performance ... what difference does it make ? they still can add 12% more cards to their system ... when you ban something you should ban the entire technology , not give them the same car with 12 performance cut ...

None!
And when you OC these GPUs that Nvidia has down locked... What you expect will happen...
This is a trick that gives Nvidia a couple of months time to sell more 4090 before some authority says... there is something fishy going on here...
