Now that NVIDIA's 28nm-based Kepler GPU is official, we finally know how much money Europeans have to cough up for it.
According to the press release, the MSRP has been confirmed as £429 in the United Kingdom.
Honestly now, the US price is $499, but £429 converts into $677.51. Do shipping and border costs really add this much?
Some of our readers even told us that the price in Australia is $700. That's Australian dollars, which is the same as $725-$726 (US dollars).
As if that didn't already compound the problem, MSI's model got listed in Europe for 492 Euro.
That's right, even though $499 is the same as 375 Euro, “taxes” and whatever else lead to a rise of over 100 Euro in costs.
Considering that most boards are manufactured in Taiwan (read: there is no ocean crossing involved in shipping), we're having trouble figuring out the legitimacy of these tags. Ah well.
