Hi,

My vendor is charging a lot for some cards. Can you please tell me if
this is correct?

1. Zebronics 7600GT - Rs. 8600 + Vat = Rs. 8944.00

2. Zebronics 7900GS - Rs. 11600 + Vat = Rs. 12,064.00

Are these correct? Because on many websites are quoting much lesser
in dollars. e.g. 7600GT is about 110 USD and 7900GS is about 170 USD.

Please advise.

Prices are more or less correct. Please don't compare US and Indian prices. Many factors like taxes, import duties, vendor profit, etc come in between.

its better to get pc components from your own city rather than from any other city ........ due to after sales services reason

I think the price of GPUs is rather higher in Calcutta due to less demand.

You won't get computer parts in India at US prices :wink:

Better have your friends/relatives in USA bring you parts, or else, be prepared to cough up much more to get them locally in India .

i believe otherwise, i visited bangalore and discovered prices a bit higher, whereas here, in kolkata it seems lower. but cpu/mobo specially non-msi stuff is costly in kolkata

Yup, bought the card from:
M.D. Computers
16/1 G.C. Avenue,
Kolkata - 700013
Near Exide Showroom
Ph: 2234-6274, 2253-7133, 9830243212
Contact persons: Mr. Pankaj & Mr. Pradeep

This contact info was given to me by Top Notch Infotronix Pvt. Ltd. and they are distributor of Zebronics and Leadtek products. Ph: 32403299
They don't sell the product directly. Call them and you will also get prices for Zebronics cards.

I have always found prices at ebay.in to be much higher than local brick and mortar stores. It is wise to purchase from them only things which are not otherwise available. In the past I bought only two Vantec stealth fans from them. I paid online (HDFC), there was no problem and the items were received within 3-4 days in very good condition. BTW, I feel it will be wise to buy from dealers who have been with ebay for the longest periods.

The vendor told me that the 7900 are slowly being replaced by 7950, so lower prices.

Bangalore prices are higher becaust Bangalore has one of the highest taxation rates in India. All hardware stuff is costlier here, not just Graphics Cards.
