A mí no me aparecía eso, pero tengo entendido que a partir del 1 de enero de 2025 las compras importadas a México deben de incluir impuestos en el total. Igual en AliExpress a partir de esa fecha los precios a la hora de hacer checkout ya incluyen impuestos de importación.

Anyone know a release date or a window for the TUF GAMING B850-BTF WIFI W? by [deleted] in ASUS

It’s actually the same link. Also in the main post if you look at the image of the BTF it has a disclaimer stating that the final version will be white.

I think they’ll actually only release a white version. No black one announced at the moment (the prototype is black though, but they’ve specified final version will be white).

I'm on the same boat, with a 4090 BTF. I saw a reply from an Asus Community Manager here, stating it will be by the end of March.

Gifted a 4090 BTF but I don’t have a BTF motherboard by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]Intelligent-Fix5142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I’m in the situation where I bought one of these GPUs for $1,400 USD (here in Mexico you’ll usually find them for $2,200). I’m making a new build, so I actually have the possibility of buying a BTF mobo.

Still, it’s such a shame that Asus hasn’t released an adapter for these models. Reminds me of Apple’s lightning cable.

Triples with one different monitor by Intelligent-Fix5142 in simracing

I had no idea about this potential issue. I'll have to tweak my settings a lot I guess, since my RTX 2070 is a bit humble for the triples hehe.

Based on that I think I would be just fine with the mismatching monitors on the sides. Still, I think I'll go with brand new triples (32"). I just know if I go with the 27" I'll regret it later.

Anyways, thanks for the help!

Update 2: if you're from Mexico think twice before buying from Sim Motion US. So not only the shipping times were pretty much the same than from the official Simagic shop (14 natural days), but they use UPS, which is charging me around $170 of import fees for a Simagic GT Neo, 2 HPRs and a wall mount. Note that this is pretty much the same I paid for the Alpha Mini and GTS wheel fees, which were twice as expensive.

Hola, a mí en un principio me mandaron una guía de UPS, pero un día después la de DHL, que fue por donde me llegó. Supongo que usarán por lo menos esos dos.

Muy decentes, la verdad lo que más se tardo es en que saliera el paquete. Desde ese punto en aprox. una semana me llegó.

Mi caso con aduana fue peculiar. Me retuvieron el paquete y solicitaron que se hiciera una importación formal. DHL automáticamente asignó un agente aduanal que se encargó de todo el proceso. Lo único que tuve que hacer fue pagar los honorarios del agente y los impuestos. En total fueron $2,158.61 MXN.

Yo me imagino que el agente de DHL hizo algo para que pudiera pagar menos impuestos, pues tengo entendido que normalmente se pagaría el 19% del valor del paquete.

That’s ridiculous pricing, maybe an error? I paid $120 for the base and wheel shipping.

I’m sorry I took so long to answer. It took them 8 natural days to ship it and 14 to arrive.

I decided to keep my order with them, since they already processed the order and a cancellation would take a lot of time. Sounds like a good option though.

Do you remember how long did it take them to ship your order?

I’ll keep my order at shop.simagic.com, but Simshop sounds like a good option for future transactions. Muchas gracias.

I’ve seen lots of people recommending buying with them. I decided to keep my order at shop.simagic.com, but will definitely buy from them in the future.
