Graphics Cards Kuwait
I was taking a look at the different hardware currently available in the market and I have to say there is a decent selection of hardware available but the first thing I do is compare prices. The two items I was looking at were the MSI Nvidia 8800 GTX and MSI Nvidia 8800 GTS.
MSI Nvidia 8800 GTX
Price Kuwait: 260 KD
Price Online: 143 KD
MSI Nvidia 8800 GTS
Price Kuwait: 150 KD
Price Online: $380 = 110 KD
Buying the 8800 GTS would be reasonable but the 8800 GTX is a complete rip off, I’m sure looking around you can find it a bit cheaper but by only 40 KD at most. so it would be 220 KD which is still a huge difference.
I would buy most hardware online if you are in no hurry to purchase the hardware, but if you are going to make a purchase then you are better off getting something just below the most powerful since that would be reasonably priced.

Some electronics are such rip offs as you said. Order them online, and safe A LOT! But there’s stuff that would just be too risky to purchase online, like a PS3! ;/

Why MSI? Dude..don’t go for MSI. What kind of card do you want? PCI? PCI-E? And what kind of board do you have? And what games do you usually play?

N: I know what you mean! But PC HW is better being purchased online!
Я: I’m not speicifically looking at MSI, I prefer XFX and EVGA. I just wanted to compare local prices to online prices! MSI isn’t bad! I just want a powerful card, Im plan on getting P6N Daimond MSI or Asus board! That is for later!

If you want a powerful card go with Nvidia or ATI.. MSI and Asus are not even close .

G-Funk: Nvidia makes the graphics processor and the cards are made by MSI, EVGA, XFX, and a few other manufacturers. In regards to ATI I think the make their own!

Marzouq :
Nvidia makes the whole package. the ones you are buying are the OEM ones . I have an ATI card on my macbook pro and an Nvdia on powermac . the are both originally made by ATI and Nvidia .
