Default [vr-z]AMD Plans HD4800 Series price-cut Q3
Quote:



Starting from next month, AMD will cut the prices of their Radeon HD 4890, 4870, 4850 up to as much as US$50. This move is probably to lower the current inventory of their high end GPUs to make way for the RV870 series in September.

Price of HD 4890 card will be lowered from US$249 to US$199 while HD 4870 will be priced at US$149, down from US$199. Lastly, HD 4850 which we already saw the prices plummeting due to HD 4770 shortages will go below US$100 this time.

So should I sell my 4850 on ebay and then buy a 4870 after the price cut?

I hope so. My X2 is lonely.
You should pickup another 4850. CF'd 4850's > single 4870.

i was thinking of actually going crossfire with another 4870 since i can get it way cheaper now, but it seems better that i wait till RV870.

alright! that 4890 is tempting.

if there was a $150 4850x2, it'll be very yummy

I hope they're referring to the 1 GB versions of the HD 4870 and HD 4850.
