Nvidia cuts GTX 460 prices?

[RPGWiZaRD]

id rather guess nvidia knows the 6000 series is coming in a couple of weeks and they want to saturate the market so they dont lose more market share, and get rid of their inventory, no?

cause once the 6000 series is out they will have a hard time selling gf100 based parts and probably even gf104 etc... that makes a lot more sense, cause if there wouldnt be competition on the horizon, why would they lower prices if they already have the price performance advantage?

This is exactly what I'm thinking too. Especially IF rumors about Barts easily beating GTX 460 and being close to/match HD 5850 in performance and 200~$250 is true then Nvidia needs to sell these GTX 460 ASAP. :p GTX 460 isn't prolly intended to be a money making machine in first place but rather try and gain some market share which is also important. Of course they need money but they don't have great enough cards to allow this atm so they're making the best they can of the situation, perhaps a little bit on the desperate side if you ask me.
