needsata Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hi all, I realize it may be a bit silly to make a thread just for this, but there's more to it than there will initially seem to be. Just in general, no additional info, does this seem like a good price? 410.00 USD for (NEW) MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 N680GTX Lightning Graphics card Graphics Engine GeForce GTX 680 Interface PCI Express x16 3.0 Memory Type GDDR5 Memory Size(MB) 2048 Memory Interface 256 bits Core Clock Speed(MHz) 1110 (Boost Clock: 1176) Memory Clock Speed(MHz) 6008 (3004x2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athlonite Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 considering it's twice that here in NZ yes I'd have to say that's a good price for nVidia but have you thought about going AMD Radeon HD7970 3GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xpablo Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 from what I've been managed to find that's an excellent price, lowest I found it for was $469 curious what retailer you found this for at that price.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abysal Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 yep, good price. Where are you seeing this at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needsata Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 That's the interesting part... a manufacturer in China. I'm wheeling and dealing and may get it even lower. Never tried this before, but if it works out I'm looking to resell, keep and inform others if I am able so they can get in on it. Once things are somewhat confirmed and I am ready to proceed I can always use a little extra help verifying the integrity of the source. Here's hoping.

Crisp Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 That's the interesting part... a manufacturer in China. Not sure how the US deals with duties, but buying and getting something shipped to me in the UK from China will have a tone of import tax slapped on.

Video cards (duty-free) And specifically this single item order would be shipped as a "gift" and therefore incur no duty fees. GTX 690 for 710.00 USD Good price?
