Why are RTX 3rd party gpu costilier than founder edition in india?

[Harsh_16]

Hi Nvidia recently launched the new 2080 series and the preorders have started here in INDIA too. But i am shocked to see that the 3rd party gpu are more expensive than the founders edition even though nvidia announced that they were 100 dollars cheaper. The Nvidia RTX 2080 founders edition costs INR 68500 while the asus and zotac version cost INR 73000 AND INR 84000 respectively. This is a complete rip off. Pls tell me why is it so. Will they reduce the price?

Well they are free to do what they want. If they throw water cooling or other features that NVIDIA did not take into account, price will be higher. Still I agree this time its a ripoff. Probably aiming to grab whoever is hyped by ray-tracing. OR they have so poor service in there....
