WHY?

Go to solution Solved by DigitalHermit,

Blame local retailers... /thread

 

a 970 costs 25000 at PCX...

I could be wrong, but I think a 980 is cheaper/easier to make than a 780ti.

Its the chick with the 4 way 290's on a 3 way crossfire board!

The 980 is cheaper to make than the 780.

But, it really depends on the merchant. In Straya the 780 is (usually) cheaper.

the cost of producing the 780s was much higher than the 980s so that's why.

plus a stockist isn't going to be willing to slash the prices to make them more appealing, there's probably very little profit to be made on electronics as it is. because it's such a diluted market

hmm... sabi ng attendant 25k eh... (hmm... the shopkeep told me 25k...)

 

mahal pa din... (still expensive...)

 

Hanggang 960 price tier lang ang kaya ko... ilang taon din ang kailangan para makaipon... (I can only afford up to the 960 price tier... It'd still take me a few years to save up...)
