Graphic Cards why price drops in graphics cards'are not translated in India immediately?

BS.. 90% of computer owners in India still don't know the difference between a graphics card and onboard video. And even among those who know what a graphics card is, more than 80% are happy with a 512MB/1024MB graphics card :mad:

Assuming that a guy is paid at the rate of 15 USD per hour he would still make close to USD 2500 (15*8*22) and the cost of a performance range graphics card is like 1/10 his salary.

The average Indian just cannot afford a "graphics' card as you put it so obviously he doesnt know much about it as its beyond his means.

Forget the USD <==> INR conversion, most of us would be more than happy to buy stuff at USD prices ....so lets not go the "Indian users dont know jack" route :eek:hyeah:

Your whole theory goes for a toss when you get a mobile phone into picture... I dont whats the fascination of Indians and mobile phones...

A guy will spend an entire month's salary on mobile phone without blinking an eyelid, there will be very few maniacs who will spend 5-6000 USD on a phone (considering the 5-6k avg salary in US a month)....

Unlike graphic cards mobile phones can be shown to any and everyone you meet :D . Moreover its something most people can/want to use. Even my grandpa can/would use a mobile, can you say the same for a graphics card :bleh:
 
^^You obviously are a geek and your circle is made up of the same, hence the comment about prices being the factor.

I have hardly ever met a customer who doesn't pop the question about "kitna MB hai?" Forget customers, even most retailers/ distis/ dealers talk only about the memory.

Edit: Btw, I've sold many high-end cards after enlightening the customer about perf basics.
