AMD Also To Introduce Price-Cuts for HD 7000 Series

AMD Also To Introduce Price Cuts for HD 7000 Series radeon 7000
According to Softpedia, AMD will slash the prices for its Radeon HD 7000 series next week. This is AMD’s response to upcoming GeForce GTX 650 and 660, which arrives tomorrow.

Most importantly, there will be price-cuts for a whole series, not only for mid-range or entry-level cards. First we have Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition, which costs around $430 (€335), but AMD decided to lower the price to $410 (€319). The HD 7950 will now cost $290 (€227), current price is $300 (€234), the Boost Edition will cost $300.

Mid-range segment will also receive pricing modification. Actually here’s the the most interesting change — Radeon HD 7870 will cost $240 (€187), while HD 7850 is now priced at $200 (€156) – that’s great news, especially since this card loves overclocking.

Let’s not forget about HD 7750, which is now for $100, later to receive $5 price-cut.

It’s worth noticing the price for Radeon HD 7950 Boost Edition, probably the best card for the buck in this price tag.

UPDATE: Also NVIDIA cards received further price cuts:

  • Gigabyte WF3X and EVGA GTX 680 SC:$480
  • EVGA/Galaxy GTX 670: $380
  • Gigabyte GTX 660 Ti WF2X: $285
  • MSI GeForce GT 640 1GB: $80
  • MSI GeForce GT 640 2GB: $85

Thanks Skr13 for a tip.

  • Jerson

    Typo:7970 Boost State

  • skr13

    GTX 670 need to drop $20 at least. And GTX 680 $30.
    How much will cost 7950?

  • http://videocardz.com/ VideoCardz.com

    There’s no info about that, but AMD is trying to get rid of them. There are too few HD 7950 Boost models on the market to actually notice any difference between prices of both.

  • skr13

    7950 Boost Edition will now cost $300 (234 EUR) while the ordinary AMD Radeon HD 7950 will set you back $290 (227 EUR).

    VideoCardz, GTX 660 Ti MSRP is $280, Gigabyte is a Custom Version that cost a bit more.
    In the other hand EVGA cards use Default PCB design and Cooler.

  • BestJinjo

    This is why we need both AMD and NV to be competitive in the GPU market. The winner is the consumer!

  • Nigel Harris

    I got a horrible feeling that the next gen HD8000 and GTX700 would be a repeat of this gen in terms of prices. AMD will be first to market, releases there entire line up etc etc etc. Nvidia are soooo slow this generation to release the mid range. Come / approaching december we could start hearing more leaked information on HD8000

  • BestJinjo

    They will be. We are not going back to $299 / $369 price levels from AMD. AMD is going to launch HD8000 series first and price them at $449 / $549. That’s what ATI did. When AMD sold cards at a loss since HD4800 series, they were losing money. Consumers still bought NV cards despite AMD offering superior price/performance. Thus, AMD is done with that strategy. They will lower prices ONLY if NV brings out a much faster product in GTX700 OR if NV launches very closely to HD8000 series. If NV is again 3-8 months late with its product line roll-out, AMD will take full advantage of lack of competition and price HD8950/8970 high again. It makes sense since NV has been doing this for years and we AMD spoiled us with $269 5850….and $299 4870.

  • BestJinjo

    With these price drops, NV is going to end up competing against HD7770/7870 with GTX650/660.

  • Joe

    According to [H] review the msrp of 650gtx will be $110

  • lalo

    20 bucks is nothing, pche :P

  • lalo

    also forget 300usd = 230 eur, we get in europe 1eur:1usd …

  • maftul

    I bought my non-reference HD4870 for 220$, only a few months after release, and it was top of the line at that time; now after 4 years, top of the line VGAs are being sold at 500$, the price of dual-gpu VGAs at that time…

  • Max

    Now here’s one who understands! Exactly, in Eu the market is such a s*** they don’t change the value (like they should), instead they just change the currency from USD to Euro…
    In my country, the prices of 7000 series are still the same from the day they got released (HD 7870 = 340eu). So let’s say i’m trying to find a card at a very low price, i’m forced to search it in germany, because the price there is a little more cheap.

  • Nigel Harris

    People still went to Nvidia during the HD4800 era simply because Nvidia had more performance. Granted it cost more for an Nvidia gpu but the performance ‘justifies’ it. Clearly then there is a market for such high perfomrance chips regardless of price/performance. Now this generation Nvidia wins on all grounds (before the price cuts) better performance/lower temps/lower launch price. Nvidia has made AMD look ‘bad’ this gen. Granted AMD have excellent mid range cards – the HD7870 for one is amazing. Got one myself after selling my GTX680.

  • BestJinjo

    No, the performance didn’t really justify it. GTX260 was $399 and was slower than HD4870 for $299. HD4850 was completely unbeaten until NV countered it with 9800GTX+ (but even that card was inferior). Plus that entire line of NV cards offered worse power consumption too. NV had to launch GTX260 216 to match 4870′s speed but that was way later. Then HD4890 delivered GTX280 level of performance for $269 and 280 was $649 at launch less than a year before. When 260 216 was going for $175-180, 4890 was going for $190-200 and destroyed the 260 216. NV continued to charge high prices most of that generation. Looking back at games now even 285 doesn’t win against 4890, which means all that additional $ spent on the 285 was wasted (would have been better off buying a 4890 and using the savings for a future GPU upgrade such as GTX470/480/5800 series).

    Then you have a situation such as HD5850/5870 where they delivered amazing performance 6 months before 470/480 launched. Again AMD went uncontested for full 6 months. Then you have HD6950 unlocked which pretty much made 580 look crazy overpriced. You could have bought almost 2 6950s unlocked for the price of 1 580.

    How exactly did NV make AMD look “bad” this generation? NV lost both the price/performance and single-GPU performance all in 1 round and allowed AMD to raise prices with no consequences. If anything, NV blew this generation completely. Normally, AMD has to compete at lower price levels because NV has such a strong line-up. This round NV was late 3 months with flagship cards and 6-8 months late with <$300 mid-range and low-end desktop GPUs. That's a very poor showing from NV. All that talk of GK110 launching 'soon' was just rumors and now we are looking at 2013 at best. The only thing that saved NV's face is AMD's terrible drivers until Cats 12.7 and BF3.

    I am hoping NV can come back strong with GTX780 or Maxwell because the current iteration of Kepler is weak. If I am going to pay NV's pricing premium, their cards better be faster and this round they are not.

    +1

  • zeus

    for nv sake it better be

  • Nigel Harris

    When nvidia’s Gx104 gpu beats AMD’s best card aka Tahiti XT then you look ‘bad’. GTX670 made the HD 7970 irrelevant. GTX660Ti is in its own market segment. AMD ‘released’ HD7950 with boost. AFAIK Powercolor has it in the channel. Yes Nvidia is late – very late. But the fact is in the high end Nvidia won. Kepler is not weak. How is kepler weak? its competitive performance wise against tahit XT. It doesnt need as much power, runs cooler and doesnt sound like a jet engine. Yes you can OC tahiti much more robustly like I say power consumption, heat and noise goes through the roof. On balance kepler wins.

  • Bruno

    Are you living in the past? With the new drivers amd 7970 and 680 are very close. The gtx 670 still faster than 7950. In my country I can get a aftermarket cooler 7970 at 670 prices (400euros) while a stock 680 costs 500+
