For those interested in a GTX980, we have the Gigabyte 980GTX G1 Gaming available in Dubai. If you want, I can buy it for you and bring it back for a 50$ handling fee (per card). I am coming back home for a visit during Eid.

Note that I am not making a business here, the card weighs alot so its a hassle to handle.

I am checking with some stores and will get back to you all regarding pricing and warrantee.

I think I can handle bringing back 3 or 4 cards, so first come first serve.
4K TVs are pretty expensive, I just bought a FHD 3D 40'' TV because after 4 years their prices finally are acceptable and I am sure the big majority doesn't have and will not have a 4K TV before at least 2 years (when the Geforce GTC 970 will be obsolete for hardcore gamers)
I am not bashing the 970 but buying it because it can play 4K games better than others is not the thing that people will search, whoever if this gpu can give perfect results in Ultra settings on 1080p for 3 years and is capable of playing 3D games like Tomb Raider (with 3D glasses) in 1080p 60hz instead of 24hz,then it's a good point

Prices are without my handling fee.

Warranty is covered by any Gigabyte service center in UAE only (so not International Warranty).

Let me know if anyone wants any card before this Thursday.
818$ for a reference card?
So dubai is another Lebanon?

By the way, does Amazon /eBay ship to dubai?
Yeh man I was surprised. And this is the reduced price; it was 3300AED.

I think you're better off ordering from Amazon.
If it does, you better hurry up :P

I'm leaving on Friday from Dubai.
It's 200$ difference between 970 and 980 on amazon, is it really worth paying almost 1/3 more for 10% more performance?.. i doubt you all have a dual 1440p setup here...
how long would it take to order from amazon through libanpost or aramex? and are the taxes still at 0% or did it increase?
i don't think ordering from amazon is possible, without a third party handler, like borderlynx.

sorry i meant to say shopandship or borderlinx
You know, I ordered 2 Arctic coolers for my 280X straight from the Arctic website. I put my work address and the parts arrived to the Dubai post office in a couple of days. I paid 2AED for clearance (750L.L) and walked away with my package. As simple as pie.
Its probably because the cards are out of stock everywhere come a few weeks you'll see a huge price drop.
How much did the 280x cost you.
i got the 280x's long time ago. i just bought better coolers for them
MrClass if i may ask what do you work in dubai? feel free not to reply, i know it's rude.

i am no "tech guru" but whats the difference between a 1080p gpu and a double price one with 1440p? is it worth the price difference? oh and could one use dual gpus, like memory?
