You can speak to the owner directly. I purchased some things from here, no hassles at all.

Just a word of caution; if you're buying from IT Depot, I recommend that you go to their showrooms in person as you live in Chennai.

I got to know that the ASUS Radeon HD 7970 DirectCU II seems to have a lot of issues...

They have this card for Rs 37,900. Though it is quiet expensive i will cross check with other sources. Thank you :)

EDIT: Contacted Delta Peripherals and they are selling it for Rs 39,700 (On Order 4-5 Days) :(

Some of the non-reference 7970s take the space for 3 slots in your mobo. Some of them have good coolers but they end up dumping most of the heat directly into your chassis. You might want to check these things before you place your orders.

If you didn't specifically ask for an AMD card, you have a couple better options on the nVidia side.

Cheers. :)

True that! Well the reason i want to buy the 7970 is because of its better compute performance than nvidia. If i fail to purchase one which i think i will at this moment then i will settle down for an ASUS GTX 670 DirectCU II TOP and hopefully it should be available easily in the market.
