AMD HD4870 for 149$ - - MAJOR PRICE CUT

12 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/amd-hd4870-for-149-major-price-cut.109810/

The ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB will drop $50 in price, from the $199 segment down to $149. It will compete in this price point primarily against NVIDIA's GTS 250 1GB rebrand using the old G92 chip, variants of which were used in the 8800GT, 9800GT, 9800GTX, 9800GTX+, etc. However, the HD 4870 has been shown to surpass the performance of NVIDIA's GTX 260 line, and value seekers may choose to leave NVIDIA for a better price/performance point.

The ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB will drop to $129, and is designed to compete at the same price point as NVIDIA's GTS 250 512MB version. The Radeon HD 4830 will be replaced by another part soon at a lower price point.

Do click the link to check the comparison chart. I couldn't post it. You know TDF's uploading service don't you.

That's awesome. Too bad the prices won't reflect in India soon.

I hope price cuts will reflect in India soon as XFX has plans for making ATi cards soon

This is exactly the thing i was waiting for :grin:

WoW!! Now that's a very great news.

Just bought a HD4850. Only if I would have known this... :sigh:

btw, GTX250 is nothing but rebranded 9800GTX+.

Cheers !

Hope the price change reflects here soon....

Yes GTS250 is a rebranded dud.

But here's the review of GTS250, having 2GB Memory (OMG).

Holy crap.. damn awesome.. btw.. what's the recommended SMPS power rating for this card???

^^I know one guy at TDF running this with a Core 2 Duo with a Cooler Master 500W.

But recommended is Corsair VX450W and above.
