First of all, I've been using AMD products since Athlon times. I've been loyal to AMD products ever since. I upgraded my computer each generation even with the FX which was absolutely horrendous in single core performance yet I went ahead and bought it. Since then I've been patiently waiting for Zen but it's delayed again. So I decided to stick with my FX till the time Zen actually comes out. AMD recently launched Polaris GPU's for mainstream and the price was perfect too. I couldn't be happier but price here in India paints different picture. It's priced for 30,000INR (for reference design) that's 446USD! What the f***. Why? Even if considering all the import duties and taxes it should be priced 22,000. I am so disappointed with all the crap AMD is pulling on its loyal customers. Sorry to say but I'm gonna go with Team Blue and Team goblin this time! Thank you AMD. Thank you so much! You've lost another customer for ever
So I guess there's no need to even try to explain it to you that it's your retailers and etailers charging the insane markups based on basic principles of supply and demand and not AMD (though it would be the board partners since AMD doesn't make the cards anyway)?
