NTT-X, a Japanese retailer, is offering a unique promotion to its affluent customers. With every purchase of an ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB OC Edition graphics card, customers will receive a free Intel Arc A750 Limited Edition GPU. While it is common for retailers to offer digital download codes for video games as a bonus incentive, NTT-X has taken a non-traditional approach to getting high-end silicon into the hands of its clients. The ASUS card is being sold for just over $2300 (converted from Japanese Yen), while the mid-range Intel board is priced at approximately $350 when sold separately. It appears that PC hardware prices in Japan are generally higher than those in the US market.

It is unclear whether this particular hardware outlet is experiencing slow sales of top-end RTX GeForce 40 series cards due to high prices or difficulty in selling the Alchemist card because of wavering hardware buyer perception. However, super enthusiasts with plenty of cash to spare on cutting-edge technology tend to purchase the best available. Perhaps NTT-X is offering its target audience a chance to construct a secondary or tertiary computer. These additional PCs could host the promotional Intel Arc A750 graphics card, with the retailer gaining further sales by customers buying more components for another build, be it for a compact computer or home theater/media center PC.
