The battle for desktop computer graphics is set to begin once again, but this time, there’s going to be a price war as well. NVIDIA has recently launched the GTX 280 and GTX 260 cards, and we can already spot a €283.89 GTX 260 version coming from Asus. Of course, these are not yet available, but by the time ATI volumes in its new HD 48XX cards, things should be getting tighter. However, ATI is very proficient at price wars, as the company started this nasty game with RV670, Radeon 3870 and 3850 cards. On the other hand, NVIDIA learns pretty fast and it’s willing to put some early pressure on the Canadians.
Fudzilla estimates that the Radeon HD 4870, which is supposed to cost $329 at launch, will probably drop to $299 very fast and at the same time NVIDIA will go ahead and slash prices for the GTX 260, way under the initial $399. Further speculations point out that the GTX 260 will end up costing around $349 in about two weeks, putting pressure on its direct contender, the Radeon HD 4870.
Moreover, NVIDIA plans to cut prices for the 9800GTX to under $299 to complicate things a bit more for ATI’s Radeon HD 4850. Tough calls for ATI, but all this price war is going to prove beneficial either way for us end users.
