okay so what ive just learnt from the graphic card prices compared to NZ/AUS verses US. Theirs a $400-500 difference on the latest new cards Like mentioned above the 7800GTX cost $900 to 1200 here yet $350 in the US.

Thats daylight robbery!:damn: :nope:

Ummm, were a bit off topic :nope:

Not reall. A little more yes, but after you factor in the excahnge rate, it becomes more tolerable. $900 in your currency equals $555.57 in ours - at least as of yesterday. Still pricey though for yesterdays card. THose prices should be for the current generation cards not something a year old!

I realise in my previous beast post the info was from an old PCPowerplay issue (March) not July like i stated, got em mixed up.

The July issue theres not much difference apart from the cards - 2x 7900GTX XXX 512MB - $1758 so thats about $850 each. Whats the price of these cards in the US?

7900 GTX - about $430 for full retail, or $400 for OEM

At $850, with your exchange rate, that would make the board cost you about $524.71 - or about $100 US more than its worth.
