NVIDIA Drops GTX 780, GTX 770 Prices
Quote:
A lot of news coming from the NVIDIA camp today, including some price drops and price announcements.
First up, the high-powered GeForce GTX 780 is getting dropped from $649 to $499, a $150 savings that will bring the GTX 780 into line with the competition of AMD's new Radeon R9 290X launched last week.
Next, the GeForce GTX 770 2GB is going to drop from $399 to $329 to help it compete more closely with the R9 280X.
The yet-to-be-released GeForce GTX 780 Ti is also getting a price - $699 based on the email we just received. And it will be available starting November 7th!!
All I can say is thanks AMD, competition is great. Read more @ PCP
Really aggressive of Nvidia. Seems they don't want AMD to get marketshare.
This move seems a bit too much against the 290x and seems more targeted towards the 290. Being 50 dollars cheaper, having the Nvidia brand while having 3 games free more than makes up for the 5-9 percent performance difference.
The thing that hurts the 290x the most is supply though. Without proper supply in the channel, it literally can't do anything. The burden is left up to the 290 regular which AMD needs to deliver in quantity.
