It's not like there's a shortage of video cards internationally, so any company that brings in large amounts of video cards at a more reasonable price could conceivably make a financial killing when all other companies sell at that crazy markup, so there must be some other reason there than just alleged increased demand.
Maybe import duties and/or other types of taxes are higher for video cards (and some PC components) than for most other PC components in Indonesia ?

GTX 780s are out since this past Thursday.
They cost about 650$ ; performance-wise are almost halfway between a GTX 680 (still ~450$) an a GTX Titan (~1000$).

GTX 770s come out next Thursday.
They're probably a bit faster than a GTX 680 and will come out at around 450$ (most likely, the remaining GTX 680s will get a bit cheaper, probably under 400$).

GTX 760s or similar should come out in a month or so, be about as fast as current GTX 670s, and cost about as much as they do now.
