MSI unveils GeForce GTX 1070 Quick Silver - South African pricing

[Flex]

Welcome to the economical problems of Africa! Additionally it's MSI, they will charge more because it's a premium brand. Honnestly I will be happier with a cheaper GALAX/PowerColour/HIS or Sapphire card.

MSI are so over rated. Since they have become this enormous company, their build quality feels very very weak.

There in lies the problem. I will not claim to know a lot about the technology business. However, it seems that when a company gains a specific percentage of the market their pricing seems to be adjusted to match their ego or market shares.

Brand premiums are everywhere. Think iPhone, Nike etc. etc. etc.

I love my MSI hardware, thankfully I bought in before the hype train took off.

Very true, but iPhone is not much more expensive than a Samsung these days. The quality in stuff like phones from high to low range differ.

But go and have a look and feel how a Hall of Fame card feels. It feels solid, well built and attention to details. MSI Cards these days feel plastic and wonky.

I had a 660ti MSI, and LOVED it. The heat sink and everything was solid and extremely well built. Feels like their wheels fell off at around the 7 or 9 series

Well you say that but a top of the range Note 7 was going to retail at around R14500-R15000.
Top of the range Iphone is R21 000. That's a vast difference.

As far as MSI goes...Not sure how many people realize it but they lost their way once they started with their "gaming" range.

Sjoh, didn't think there was such a huge difference. And the S7 Edge vs the iPhone 7 Plus? Won't it be better to compare those 2 with each other.

Agree with you 100%.
When they started making mice and and and and targeted at "extreme gamers" as you say.
