Yes it is - but you can buy the card online and many on-line retailers ship to Switzerland.
To help us help you - please provide as much information about your system and the problem as possible.

I know the 2-slot version HD7970-3GD5 is available at retail; however, the 3-slot version HD7970-DC2T-3GD5 has not shown up on any web sites for sale yet. The thread below indicates that ASUS has run into a voltage regulation problem with this card and that it may not be available for sale until the end of March. I am waiting for this 3-slot version too as it has 4 DisplayPort connectors that I can use to connect to my 3 monitors (Dell U2410s) to avoid or lessen tearing.
