HD4870 149$, GTX260 for 169$ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[comp@ddict]

A few days ago AMD cut the price of the HD4870 and HD4850.

But nVidia have finally responded, and big time. Here are the latest prices:


HD4870 512MB GDDR5 - - 149$
HD4870 1GB GDDR5 - - 169$

GTX260(55nm)(216 Shaders) 896MB GDDR3 - - 169$

Can't wait for these prices to come into effect in India. And it's a hell of a pricing. Because the GTX260 consistently performs better than the HD4870, only AMD's price was better. Now they are level, and it looks like it's finally the consumer's choice.

This is just getting better.. Finally 'hardware' has a slight lead as compared to 'software', again.

But one thing is we must note that in all reviews, we always see a highly overclocked GTX260 vx stock HD4870, and I must tell you HD4870 pawns GTX260 at stock.

The Palit HD4870 1GB GDDR5 Dual SONIC beats GTX260 in every test. I was reading the review yesterday itself.
