Ya, the 265 just seems like the better choice if you are asking the question: 750 ti vs 260X

the answer is neither, you get a R7 265, or two and crossfire them. My brother just got two and will arrive on monday, they've been hard to get on newegg cause of cryptominers.
 


Why do they rename cards so much? If a card is still going strong, let it, why rename it and try to sell it as an "advanced" card? If I personally get talked in to buying such a card, I'll feel cheated.

BTW is the 260x also a renamed card? The 7850 is still around INR3000(50$) more expensive than the 260x, despite being of an older generation.

The R7 265 does have almost the same architecture as the HD 7850 but the R7 265 is like a super refined version. The R7 265 outperforms the HD 7580 and the Sapphire one is only 150 bones and the Asus one is 170. Not a bad price for a card like that.
