Well I guess you miss some targets sometimes.. we just have to hope Nvidia can weather the storm and continue to deliver in future, cause we DON'T want the competition being reduced to just DAAMIT and Intel... I'd rather a healthy Nvidia, DAAMIT AND Intel. Better for us and better for driving tech.

ATI has had such a good effect on prices, you can now get a GTX-260 for 299.99.

Has Nvidia ever dropped prices so drastically on 'flagship' products mere weeks after release?
Not that I could remember. Thank you ATI.

Yess yesss *evil laugh* fight with each other till prices reach a record low *does evil grin into the camera*

Some other prices:

Nvidia GeForce 9800GTX is US$200 - US$220 and the 9800GX2 is as low as US$375 - US$400 now

Nvidia moving just like TSTT and ATI like Digicel: The green 'network' only dropping prices because the red 'network' seriously offering something better at a better price.

That most likely WON'T apply to INTERNATIONAL sales :p

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #52 on:** July 23, 2008, 10:31:13 AM »

Yea...that applies to US and Canadian customers only.

But who among us really went out and bought a 260/280 card at launch? Really?

Ah boy..Looks like Nvidia has finally closed the price performance gap at the 270-300 US price point.

Check out the new GTX260 Core 216.

According to the benchmarks, its just that much faster than the HD4870. Stock version = 279 US. OC'ed version = 299 US.
Not bad at all. Nvidia back in the game, but is it a case of too little too late? ATI done get all mih money.

Crixx_Creww · « **Reply #55 on:** September 22, 2008, 01:06:06 PM »

they eh get my money doh

an nvidia sure gettin it now

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #56 on:** September 22, 2008, 01:19:26 PM »

Only an overclocked 216 beats the hd4870. Rest a overclock on the hd4870 and watch that 260 get burnnn. Ati still ftw. Talk done.

Redfish · « **Reply #57 on:** September 22, 2008, 01:21:46 PM »

WTH is up with all the stupid numbers, I mean can they get any more confusing!! Why can't they just use GTX 1,2,3 or 4 to show low end to high end!!

They really need to revamp how they name cards man it's freakin ridiculous now...

Despite that, this card looks like a pretty good buy in terms of affordable bang for buck

Saxito Pau · « **Reply #58 on:** September 22, 2008, 04:34:05 PM »

were it not for the HD 4870 we'd still be taking out loans to buy a GTX 260

I am ordering my HD 4870 first thing in the morning. thus rewarding AMD for good price/performance

GTX295 Cometh: http://vr-zone.com/articles/geforce-gtx-295-card-exposed/6264.html?doc=6264

AKA the HD4870X2 competitor... I am guessing it's GT260 (216)x2 in a single package.
