The prices I posted are from Supertron at Secunderabad.

The local Supertron guy who deals with both Zotac & Sapphire is Sumit.

His contact no is 093 95 141110.

The card is recommended over many tech forums. Good luck for it.
PS post a short review about the performance of the card.

For 1080p Gaming & Future Proofing:

Buy the Sapphire RX470 8GB Nitro+ OC @ 20.5k from SAPPHIRE GRAPHICS CARD RADEON RX 470 8GB DDR5 NITRO+ OC

First off, I will say that my decision was based on three things:
1) Future Proofing
2) Price to Performance
3) 1080p Gaming

If you compare the reference specs of the two cards, you see that the RX 470 has only ~89% of the specs of the RX 480.

However, thanks to Sapphire's customizing, that percentage gets bumped up to ~93% with the Nitro+ models. That's because Sapphire has increased the base clock and the memory speed, and thus the memory bandwidth --and they've done a better job with the 470 percentage wise, than with the 480. And that 4% bump is a game changer when you look at the cost.

Did you just copy the post from here :p

The specs are not equally weighted. The 300 more stream processors on the 480 will make a bigger difference than the clockspeeds and the memory speed.

If you use debit card the charge should be zero. 2k savings for no warranty is not worth it.
