ATI finally drops prices

S

In a bid not to lose market share, ATI, graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices, have responded to the launch of Nvidia Corp.’s GeForce GTX 460 with a price drop of the Radeon HD 5830 graphics card. The company claims that the model 5830 with the new price will be more competitive than the rival, but the rivalry will still not be easy.

Starting recently, the official recommended price of ATI Radeon HD 5830 1GB graphics card will be $199 in the U.S., which is equal to the price of Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 768MB. Earlier the manufacturer suggested retail price of the Radeon HD 5830 1GB was $239. Several leading online stores in the country have already started to sell the model 5830 at the new MSRP. There are also a number of advanced versions of the Radeon HD 5830 with increased clock-speed and special cooling systems that are sold at higher price-points.

Hope to see cuts being reflected in the Indian mkt soon as well.

this is a good news ...

wish to see GTS 450 ( instead of GTS 250 ) and GT 440 ( Instead of 9800GT ) and GT430 ( Instead of GT240 ) from nvidia as DX 11 compliant GPUs and after that ATI will reduce the price of HD 5770, HD 5750 and HD 5670 for sure and we will geet some really great value and a healthy competition in the price range from 5k to 8k

this is really nice

atleast someone is reducing prices

anyone knows when nvidia will release 450 ,the price of 460 is unaffordable 4 me

^^ for me as well - so interested more in GTS 450 or GT 440 ( from future )
