NEW TAIPEI — Leading gaming PC makers MSI and Gigabyte are racing against time to ship more products to the U.S., including Nvidia’s new RTX 5090 graphics cards, before Donald Trump’s higher tariffs are set to kick in next month.
Joseph Hsu, chairman of MSI, said the Taiwanese company has been building up stock for the U.S. market ahead of the escalation of the tariff war in April. However, because the newest products became available only around April, there was little they could do beforehand.
