These incredibly high prices are products of the Spanish Value Added Tax (VAT). 21% for non-food and non-medical consumer goods. (opens in new tab) This jumps the RTX 4090’s $1,599 MSRP to $1,934. For Coolmod listings, prices are 25% higher than MSRP due to other considerations.
Spain is not alone in grappling with these issues. The situation is repeated in Germany, where his current VAT rate is 19%. We are increasing the price of the German RTX 40 series by 22%.
For consumers in these heavy tax environments, Nvidia’s $1,599 MSRP takes on a whole new meaning and becomes a serious problem. Not only has Nvidia increased the suggested retail price of his RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 by several hundred dollars, depending on the model. Additionally, Nvidia’s price increases get exponentially worse when taxes such as VAT are added to the product. For example, the $999.99 RTX 3090 in Spain is “just” $210 more, while the RTX 4090 costs another $126 to $336 more than his MSRP.
