Ladies & gentlemen, the price wars are about to be in full swing! Trying to get ahead of AMD in the news cycle, NVIDIA has decided to cut prices on its lower tier GPUs.
Of course the price cuts come on the Nvidia GPU's I have no interest in buying.
I almost wish the price wars hadn't happened right now, because now I think I'm
going to be waiting weeks before I buy a new video card.
'slashing' prices is a bit extreme for a 10% ($10-$20) drop in pricing.
I'm with you, if it's not a significant price drop on a 780 or Titan, then I just don't care
No price drops on the 770 GTX either, which is really just an overclocked 680 GTX.
What's strange is that I thought AMD's newest GPU's were aimed at having higher performance than the 780's and Titans, otherwise, what's the point? The 6970 GHZ already has performance comparable to the 770 GTX, but is trounced by the 780 GTX.
NVIDIA
GTX TITAN - New
GTX 780 - New
GTX 770 = GTX 680 (pretty close to exact)
GTX 760 = GTX 670 (kneecapped shaders)
AMD
R9 290X = New
R9 290 = New
R9 280X = HD 7970 (higher clocked)
R9 270X = HD 7870 (higher clocked)
R7 260X = HD 7790 (higher clocked)
