- Start date
ATi India team is working according to IST :rofl: so it will take time say 6 months to touch the 16k mark :hap2:
BTW my dealer in Nasik called ASUS regional manager...he said ASUS 4870z are in transit the stock will take 20 days to settle in the market he was saying 18k + 4% + Shipping + Octroi
...after tht my dealer argued that the launch price is said to be 16k online :tongue: . The manager said let the stocks settle 18k is a indicative price not the final one its for sure that whatever happens it wont cross the 18k mark and he said that it will be lesser than 18k :clap:
I feel is that as 4870z are out from fewer brands these distris want to feast on the flesh of people...as we get all good brands like ASUS MSI GIGA here in ample stock the prices will settle for sure in next 6 months :rofl:
some one was speakin of 4870z by MSI 16-17k this week on TE some thread i don't remember now :ashamed:

I feel, it would be advisable to wait for 2-3 months to lay hands on 4870 locally, as there ain't any groundbreaking games released now and all AAA titles are scheduled only from september
4870 prices might go down by 50$ in next 2 months as Nvidia has come back hard by massive price cuts. ATI will now be under pressure to reduce price of both 4850 and 4870.
Also once Indian market gets good enough stocks, 4870 should retail anywhere between 13-14K

That is why I am planning to stick to the 8800GT for some time, that is if I ever do get it back. LOL
I got a call last Saturday explaining how they can't sell 4870 around 16k in India.
All the calculations they gave me pointed that the card comes in India till 17K then the distributors and the local tax bla bla :bleh: thingies make it 19-20k
SO DON'T GET TOO EXITED GUYS :tongue: all you gonna get is an explanation on how they are helpless and sorry and how they can't get the card cheap :rofl:
BTW it was Raj Bhatt or Avinash Ramachandra I don't recollect (sorry for the bad memory :ashamed: some viruses are feasting on it) pretty sure it was Raj Bhatt but I was told that Amit will call you and I told him to please mail me all the things that he has explained me !! so that I can post it on the forums but he is still mailing me, this shows that they may be this is a joint ripoff mission of the distris and AMD India team. That's why I didn't get the mail (I don't want to accuse anyonehere :tongue
!!!! And practically when 4850 was launched for 200$ in US it was sold for and is selling for 11.5K in India that's approx 275$. and 4870 300$ and is selling here for 19-21k that's approx 450-500$ do see the price difference. Now the reasons of heavy pricing that was given to me were.. shipping cost (don't think the card weight is in tonnes), shipping insurance (looks like 4850 has some free insurance), some 20-30% custom duty, then warranty issues (seems 4850 is way to cheap for maintaining warranty expense), then the profits these distris and local dealers make (seems like 4850 is favorite stuff for these local shops so they are making no profit outta it) !!!!!
:tongue: SO BOTTOM LINE IS GUYS THOUGH 4870 IS A VERY GOOD VFM CARD, BUT ITS A SHAME THAT ATi AMD CAN'T DO IT FOR US IN INDIA SO HERE PRACTICALLY ATI AMD IS MAKING NO POINT SUCH AS VFM !! :tongue:
U gt a fetish with smileys or what!
It just 2 weeks....ppl from AMD have promised, that they will come up with something very soon ! And ya it will be posted on TE by them only. If not for all Indian public, I am sure at least TE members will get a very good price for the HD 4870 compared to the current price of 19k all incl
Doesn't hurt to hold on to your horses for just some more days

Hmm,
I wonder why KMD can then get us the 4870 for 16.3k .
Ask them that, they will prolly say he is smuggling lol.just got off the phone with Raj Bhatt.
he/someone from AMD is gonna be posting in this thread sooner rather than later.
like Supra said, hold on to your horses. They'r gonna do something about the blatant 21k price gouging and supposedly also have a few initiatives lined up for the coming days.
hang on guys
