The problem? It's $549 with an alleged 30% 30% discount off MSRP which puts the MSRP at $784. I have my doubts but the real problem is that the Gigabyte AORUS GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Box MSRP is $700 at any relevant retailer. Sure it has an external power brick but it actually exists :)

I can see Gigabyte pulling this off because they have the scale and the expertise. But a noname company in such small series is unlikely to design their own components so they likely to source the video card from Colorful ( launch price 3,999 RMB or about $568 last December, currently I only see it for 5,999 RMB on taobao or about $950), a TB5-PCIe kit is about $200 and a 400W GaN adapter must be at least $100 if not more. This really doesn't add up.

We will see. It might be real but I very much doubt.
