Hi everyone
I'm planning to build a new machine for my gaming needs, and I'm eyeing these cards for the setup.


Asus Gtx 560 (the normal one, not the TOP model)

Zotac Gtx 560

MSI Gtx 560 single and dual fan versions (not the twin frozr model)

Evga Gtx 560

Palit Gtx 560

Galaxy Gtx 560

HIS HD 6870 IceQx

Sapphire HD 6870


So, my query is, can I get any of these cards in Kolkata? And if I can, at what price?
Also, please post your opinions about which card will be best for overclocking

Thanks in advance.

I don't know abt the availability but the 6870 iceQx edition is really nice and is available for 12k on flipkart. It has the best cooling of the listed cards and consumes less power too.

Currently the price of HD 6870 has been increased and over 11K in most of the cases. In Kolkata Sapphire and MSI HD 6870 models are available but I don't think HIS is available. But you can get a lot of models of GTX 560 in Kolkata. MSI, Zotac, Asus all major brands are available.

Get the Zotac GTX 560 version which is cheaper than other brands and available within 10 to 11K.

That's not the case. I'm still living with my parents,, and they're hellbent against online shopping. So, I can't use online shopping till I have a job ;-(

And the place I live in isn't covered by flipkart's COD service

But you can get a lot of models of GTX 560 in Kolkata. MSI, Zotac, Asus all major brands are available.

personally I like the Asus card. Any word on it's pricing in kolkata? In flipkart it's 11800, so can I expect to find it in local shops for around 11k?

Buddy, flipkart provides Cash on Delivery option. So you can pay only when you've received the product. I think it is okay with ur parents as most people are paranoid about online shopping because they have to pay before receiving the product.

And ya, price will be around 11K range for 560. For shops, check M.D. Computers, Vedant, Technocrat etc.

I live in a town quite far from kolkata (krishnagar), where flipkart doesn't provides it's cash on delivery service. For that reason, I can't buy from them and have to travel to kolkata to get the card.


By the way, is seasonic s12 520 avialable in kolkata? If it is, at what price?

3k for VP 450 is just iverpriced IMo - if you need a ~450 PSu look for Corsair CX430v2/VS450 - if 3k is your max budget then CX500v2 or else go with any of the above 2 suggestions.
