India ranks among the top growth markets for IT giant AMD for graphics cards and the company is investing heavily to expand its presence in the market here, a top official said on Thursday.
“Apart from China and Japan, India is the major market in terms of growth and we continue to see major traction in demand in the market here,” AMD Director Global Sales (Professional Graphics) Mr Anirban Chakravartti told reporters here.
A graphics card is an expansion card used to enhance the quality of display on a computing device or connect multiple monitors (multi-monitor). It is specially used by gamers and designers.
AMD, which has about eight products in its portfolio, today launched new versions of its graphics cards priced at Rs 32,999 and Rs 69,999. The new product is specially aimed at the design, engineering, medical and finance fields.
“Sectors like engineering, medical, design, media and even financial services are using a lot of graphics and the demand for such products is really high,” Mr Chakravartti said.
AMD and NVidia are the major graphic cards makers globally.
