Hello guys,
As I had posted in an earlier thread I had planned a step by step upgrade for my system. I upgraded my PSU to a 500W seasonic one and now I want to buy a graphic card. Initially I had planned to save till end of Dec or Jan to get a new card with the AMD HD 7xxx series to be out soon. But yesterday I met a college friend who told me his brother is returning from the US (Atlanta). He can get the card for me if I want . I checked the usual sites for Graphic cards in US(newegg,tigerdirect,amazon,etc) last night and the difference is a good 2-2.5k .
Also with Black Friday coming up on 25th, the rates will fall another 15-20% on that day (crazy america ) So im thinking of getting a card now itself. Becoz I doubt I'll be able to get a card this cheap in India for the next 5-6 months atleast.
Just consider the price of this card!!
Newegg.com - PowerColor AX6870 1GBD5-2DH Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity
After a rebate I can get it for $140==140*50=INR 7000/-
That card will be even less on black friday!
And in India similar 6870 card retails for 10.5k atleast. So I'll be saving 3.5-4.5k.
Please post some good deals from US sites, if anyone is aware of one. Which site has best deals??
Budget is 7.5 to 8k max ( $155) Lesser the Better.
I game @ 1440x900, even HD6850 is overkill but since this is a one time chance I want to get the best that I can get.
BTW Sapphire HD 6850 is for $130 == 6500/- but for Rs500 more I can get HD6870
