@mailme.manju

U know samtha infotech? Nice man, i bought there regularly when i was in Chennai.

@OP
Try deltapage, much cheaper than anyone in ritchie st. Also call itdepot and enquire prices. Try to bargain, and once you got the right price go and get you GFX card, it is in Anna nagar, Villivakkam also in some place IIRC.

Coz my dad is still old fashioned, doesnt trust the internet :x

A 6950 in lynx is cheaper than a 6870 in chennai :shock:, which is sad really.

can you bargain in IT depot? I tried but the guy wouldn't budge. He kept on saying that he could not reduce the price mentioned in the internet :x

if online, first check the price (or call) at SMC. Lynx prices are excluding tax & carry charge. add them & total price will increase by 1-1.2k.

SMC's price include tax & they offer cheaper courier.

ok guys thanks for the replies

14.3k is an amazing price for the 6950, but since i cant buy online i guess i have to get the msi twon frozr gtx 560 for 14.6k from theitdepot.
if you look at it msi products are cheap in itdepot, even cheaper than deltapage

6850 - 9.9k
gtx 560 - 14.6k

maybe i can bargain and get it a few hundreds cheaper
