AMD recently launched the AMD Radeon Rx/480 card in India. This card which costs Rs.24490 has many features as well as graphics capabilities.
This card can compete with and out-perform even many more expensive graphics cards, which cost over Rs.50,000 or even more than Rs.75,000.

This card has many features that make it amenable for VR (Virtual Reality) applications where it can be coupled with the Oculus Rift VR headset or with the HTC Vibe VR Headset.
However, what I liked best about this graphics card is the distinctly colour scheme and design language- which features blood red text on a matte black body of the card. They have used the hashtag #betterred ( ) for tweets related to this and other launch events for AMD’s Radeon cards – and I so totally love this colour scheme and design language!!!

Thanks AMD for making the effort of having a full fledged India launch and here’s looking forward to AMD launching more of it’s products in India and at competitive prices.
Here’s a card we all so totally would love to use!!!
