ATI Radeon HD 4000 Series discussion

[ORBR]

the price for HD4850 at launch is very low! It's the same of the GEFORCE 8800GT but RV770 PRO score the same as 9800GTX that have a price of 300+$
In Italy for example geforce 8800gt is priced about 140€ while geforce 9800gtx 230€. The first shop that have radeon hd4850 have a price of 175€.

I hope that the price of hd4870 is lower as 4850, too!

seems not
I see prices around 320€ for the 4870

seems that the best performances/price here is 4850 and 4850 Crossfire

you aren't taking into account that if the 8800gt is $50 more there, than you should expect the 4850 to be roughly $75-$100 more there at launch, then drop to being $40-$50 more

Mate, i'm sorry if my post is rather unclear, but the card IS already in distribution aka being sold in my country for 220 US$, so that is THE FACTO launch price for this particular card in my country, clearly undercutting some of the most expensive 8800 GT (the factory preOCed edition), 8800 GTS, and 9800 GTX. But i do expect some price cut from the nVidia's distros soon.

Nevertheless, this is a good effort from ATi distros here, since in the GD 3870 launch, they had made many ATi fanATics disappointed by overpricing them considerably, relatively compared to other countries price for RV670 card at that time. In December, i decided to go for the cheapest 8800 GT 512 MB at that time, since the cheapest HD 3870 was actually slightly more expensive compared to the one that i bought back then.

damn nice, that might mean the US will be even less

But 349$ is about 230€. I should expect hd4870 to come first at 250-260€ maximum.

agree. I think that the price are about that, but probably for the first week (cause shortage of gddr5 chip) the price could be higher (i presume about 300€ in europe).

The 4870 GDDR5 Super-Overclocked version maybe

Most should settle around the 265 area. Heck there will be 600 Euro GTX 280 cards too, so the need for two 4870s to be faster than a single GTX 280 will remain, and vice versa
