NVIDIA GeForce GTX lowers prices 260 and 280
NVIDIA decided to respond to the premiere of competing graphics cards and ATI has decided to reduce prices of its two flagship models. Thus, the GeForce GTX 260 state to 199 Euro, while the GTX 280 up to 319 euros.
Having premiered in June endow high-NVIDIA cards within two months have already firmly cheapen – at the beginning of cost 260 GTX 349, GTX 280 up and 499 Euro. The big concern here is a merit of ATI, which launched a price war by introducing Radeony 4850, 4870 and 4870 X2. Their high performance combined with low prices has led to significant reductions in the camp of “green”.
For comparison, the current king of performance, or Radeon 4870 X2 with DDR5 currently costs 400 Euro. Less demanding users who wish to have dual ATI in a lower price, they should wait for the Radeon 4870 X2 with DDR3 memory or on the HD 4850 X2. These cards will come out on the market soon and will likely be about 100 Euro cheaper than the current leader.
