Default (Xtreview)Nvidia drops 9800GTX+ to $199

Recently NVIDIA dropped the price of its video card in order to propose better competition to AMD . Today appeared the first benchmark of R700 AMD card ( radeon HD 4870 X2) (our preview can be checked here ). Since the performance of the new AMD card was fair enough , Faster than GTX 280 in 99% of case (except Crysis) . NVIDIA had to drop a bit their price . Here is the new NVIDIA update :

* The GeForce GTX 280 price reduced to $449 .
* GeForce GTX 260 price reduced to $299
* GeForce 9800 GTX+ price reduced $199

Now the GTX 260 is positioned as the HD 4870 , just like the 9800GTX+ and the radeon HD 4850 . The GTX 280 price is now lower than the HD 4870 X2 . Now let us wait for AMD answer . We expect a serious price war

The 4850 and 4870's are still going for less than these prices and are still spanking nVidia's butt I do love competition though.

Wow man..... that is dirt cheap if you ask me. But I have no reason to upgrade to an aditional 1-2 FPS increase over my 8800GTX

Amazing

The X2 is not due for another month and Nvidia does this, just wow.

They want that market share for sure.

And yeah, $449 is really tempting me.
