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.

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

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

Re: Outrageous Prices
You won't get computer parts in India at US prices
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 .

Near Exide Showroom
Ph: 2234-6274, 2253-7133, 9830243212

Re: Outrageous Prices

The prices are much lower there.
But is it safe to buy?

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.
