Companies should really make the effort to properly localize prices and have local operations whenever possible.

Don’t even have to be in a 3rd world country to relate. Curse those glorious american prices! haha

blame their high import and electronics tax. it’s why pc gaming will never pick up in 3rd world countries.

New GPUs are more expensive here, but interestingly used GPUs seems to be cheaper. Everytime there’s a post about selling their used PC here everyone seems to value them higher than what i usually see locally.

Us poor 3rd world peasants need to pay! My 3090 was over $2000 converted in 2020.

540 is way too less. More like 800$ here.

Yeah it’s a pain in the ass and not just in 3rd world countries, here the fresh 4070 Supers are going for 870$+ and an aquaintance of mine who works for the most popular hardware seller in the country told me It’s only this expensive because people buy them… Like for example lowest prices until last month on base 4060 was 510$… now the lowest is still 440$
And not just that… a lot of stuff are priced so weirdly, out of every option for a new CPU 3 months ago, out of the 7500f, 5700X, 5700 and 5800X the 5800X was the cheapest…
So yeah best option for many parts here is just buying amazon prime (it’s ass cheap here) and ordering from there

Yap, its sucks where i am from too. Miners, bad value from gpu makers and now AI boom really messed up people in poor countries. Its been getting worse and worse sincle like 2020 and there is no sing of it stopping.
