    hai u from Nepal too?Good to see u here.i don't know about the exact price but about 8/9 month ago when i was trying to buy my graphics cards i went to 3/4 shops for the price info.Its aroung 11000-14000 according to the brand.I was also thinking of buying 9600Gt at that time but then i went to Loyal computer of New road.There to my surprise They told me that MSI 9800GT cost only Rs.16200(Rs15800 after discount).So i buyed MSI 9800GT 512MB OC edition.Its shader is overclocked by around +60.So its really a good deal.

    I had to change my power supply too which cost around Rs2200(1700 after exchange with my old PSU.The Loyal shop gets the graphics cards from MSI buliding of new road.Top floor of Kumari bank building.So you may want to go their first.

    One funny thing is that the PSU's power cable for Graphics card wasn't exactly fitting in my graphics card.So we went to MSi building to fix it.Their one guy smooth the power cable connector with his small knife and forced the power cable into graphics card.so i am still worried now how am i suppose to pull the power cable in the future if i had to do so.

    anyway its long time and graphics card may have been cheaper.But do a market research first before buying.And if you have good freinds in USA,you may ask them to send one as graphics card in nepal are double expensive in Nepal than USA.
