I understand electronics here is insanely overpriced but when theirs a price drop even then the greedy suppliers don't lower the prices, its almost 1.5 months since amd dropped 290 to 300$ and 290x to 400$
When (or if? ) we'd be able to see this price drop in india, this is ruining my build plans, maybe nvidia should take all of their market shares by gtx 970 alone and then they will realize, "oops! Our cards were expensive like a hate story actress w#ôrë"
expensive gfx cards don't sell in large volumes unlike some developed countries [ too few gamers actually ] so here we have to bite the bullet and then there's some crazy amount of taxes. Anyway, look out for deals on online shops like amazon, FK to get some nice discount.
+1 to this
You are the man [MENTION=135632]vkl[/MENTION] bubuddy thanx for the info, now I can focus on my build ,looks like I should have poured out my anger much earlier, but as they say better late than neve
Another question I have, will r9 290 be able to crunch through games on full HD for, say 2 years down the line on ultra-high settings,
Maybe Op was thinking about UHD and read these :
Debunking Common Myths About Video Memory - Tom?s Hardware
Video Memory Usage at 4k (UHD) Resolutions | Digital Storm Unlocked
Well, I'm interested in full HD as in 1920x1080 Hehe
Anyway with the amount of slow progress on GFX architectures and rebrands going out there, even best of the gfx are brought to their knees, im some popular games, as you noted the amount of VRAM is not indicative of a cards performance, so can a r9 290 crunch through future games for 3 years? At ultra-high settings? That's what I wanna know, I know nobody knows the future but a guess?
I'm looking for a new gpu for running newer gpu intensive games like AC:unity,Far cry 4 etc comfortably at high settings-among r7 260x and geforce 750ti,which is a better choice at the moment?Is it true that r7 260x supports dx12 but 750ti doesn't?

Me too in same situation as you, but I am certain a R9 290 will not deliver all games at ultra high for 3 years.. especially because, this period is the start of the "next gen games".. But the R9 290 will definitely deliver "comfortable" GPU performance in all games for the next 3 years, this much i assure you
PS: you might wanna wait for GTX 960 launch, thats what im doing right now, i too was tempted to buy R9 290 for 21k but its better to wait for nvidia's offering

All maxwell GPUs as well as GCN GPUs support Direct X 12 as far as i know, so in theory.. both support DX 12.. I would recommend going for R9 270, it will be a lot more future proof than both of them but to answer your question which is faster between R7 260x and GTX 750 ti
take a look here

keep in mind that GTX 750 ti doeesnt even need an external power connector, it is more powerefficient as well as maintains less temperatures (as much as 16 C less in load test crysis 3)

Thanks for the info-personally I'm inclined more towards getting the geforce 750ti rather than r9 260x as nvidia gpus offer better compatibility with most games.However i read somewhere directx 12 is only "partially" supported by the maxwell gpus whereas radeon r7 260x is fully directx12 compatible-I have no idea how far this fact is true and so i asked aforesaid question.While going for a new card,i want to ensure that its relatively future proof, ie it wont become obsolete by the time dx12 becomes mainstream and newer titles start requiring proper dx12 support from gpus in order to run.So i cant really decide which gpu i'm finally gonna choose keeping these constraints in mind.Also my budget is restricted to around 11k,so i cant really go for more expensive gpus right now.

this is the lowest i could find, for Rs 12,600..
GTX 750 ti is a great card, highly powerefficient but only for Rs 1.6k increase in your budget, you are getting massive improvements if you buy the R9 270.. In my opinion, R9 270 is more "value for money" and I would recommend you save up and buy it.. Also, when GTX 970 launched, amd immediately decreased the price of their higher end cards by a significant amount to compete.. since, gtx 960 launch is just around the corner, there's a good chance, amd might do the same with their R9 270/270X and 280.. Lastly, the launch of GTX 950 ti is also 2-3 months away.. these are your options,
Here's your comparision between R9 270 and GTX 750 ti
Thats good to know-however the info that geforce 950ti will be released within a month or 2 has made this decision even harder for me-do u think 950ti will cost roughly as much as 750ti/r9 270 after its release or will it be priced much higher than that?
another thing-my psu is a corsair vx450-will it be able to handle the r9 270 or will i have to change it as well?

PSU can easily handle R9 270..
950 ti is months away, it could be a worthy upgrade over 750 ti.. considering the fact that 970 is a beast in the VFM department
But,I have seen launch price is always high for any items.
So,950Ti may not be VFM immediately after launching ?
May be R9270 will become cheaper then ?
We can't predict future accurately.
We have to wait and see until launch.....
