Hardware pricing in Brazil
Used 3090s ~BRL 5,000-7,000. 4090s ~BRL 11,000-14,000. Mac Studios available.
Our note on this market reads: High import tax, used market. Premium pricing shifts the calculation toward buying once: a card with more memory than you need today costs less than replacing an undersized one in a market where nothing is cheap.

Converted from US dollar reference prices at approximate mid-2026 rates (BRL 5.1 to the dollar), then cross-checked against the local note above. Import duty, VAT and shipping are not included and are the largest source of error in several markets. Mac Studios typically have a single uniform global price.
