AnandTech Portal | The AMD Radeon R7 265 & R7 260 Review: Feat Sapphire & Asus

Price and performance wise R7 265 looks excellent.
The problem is AMD cards tend to look excellent price/performance-wise at "paper launch"
but give them a month and the prices become inflated like hell.
and its not due to bitcoin people buying like crazy, its underhanded market manipulation by AMD and its 3rd party vendors.

Prices are okay everywhere except USA. In India you can pick up R9 280X for 24K.

He is right in one case, almost all AMD cards in USA are selling way above their launch price and/or does not follow the normal price decrease curve as it happened previously.

yup, but that's due to mining.

Not because of some underhand tactics he is claiming lol.

^^ Think like this, while comparing US prices and Indian prices of AMD cards, you are actually getting the card cheaper than the forex rate. Gone are the days of paying more than the exchange rate. :p

Seriously though, most AMD cards are still better placed price-wise to their comparative nVIDIA models in India and the situation is OK in Europe also.

as expected something to fight with Titan Z but bit coin miners will increase the price of this :D the only thing making me worried is how much power these will eat and how they are going to contribute into global warming.
