»Nvidia Cuts GTX Pricing

Whoever says that competition isn't good is Microsoft. <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13924_3-9990077-64.html">Nvidia has cut their high end graphics card pricing in response to the new ATI graphics cards</a>. AMD's ATI is doing extremely well this round. Their scale up approach seems to be paying off.

Nvidia said Sunday night that the GeForce GTX 280 is now available for $499 and the GTX 260 for $299. The high-end GTX 280 was originally $649, while the 260 was priced previously at $399. Both products were rolled out less than a month ago. Nvidia's graphics boards are now more in line with ATI's newest offerings. At $299, the GTX 260 price now matches that of ATI's comparable HD 4870.

Once again, this is a good reason why the ultra top of the line should never be bought initially. You should get a card that is one below. The 4850 is an amazing card for the price. I'll have a 4870 soon for testing.

That's much better. A very good business decision for nVidia to make.
