600 series gforce dropping price soon?

[recycledsole]

Hello,
just wondering if the geforce 600 series are going to be getting cheaper anytime soon.
have a 570 1.25gb now, but games arent as great as they could be..
i saw the 2.5gb 570s are cheaper now, but also saw the 600 series looked nice, some of the 4gb ones... but quite expensive
any info or reccomendations?
thank yOU!

Well, they are still relatively new and Nvidia is still having difficulties supplying the channels 100% so I would say no to a price drop for at least 3 more months.

 

[Agenesis]

The 680 has been out for roughly 2.5 months and the 670 about a month. 680s are out of stock everywhere and 670s are selling like hotcakes.

Prices won't drop anytime soon. If you want price drops then head over to the used market since most 6xx cards carry transferable 3 year warranties minus the month or two that they've been out.

Maybe when the consumer GK110 is released. That's the one I'm waiting for. I'll probably be getting three of them.

 

[Don Karnage]

Don't expect prices to drop anytime soon. Kepler is the card to have

 

[Kaldorine]

I'm waiting for the 660 to drop.

Prices are going up if anything.

 

[tviceman]

The only way the gtx680 and gtx670 will drop is if AMD intro's the new hd7970 and hd7950 at the same prices they're at now. And I seriously, seriously doubt the new "predator pricing" AMD will do that.

 

[recycledsole]

HMmmm. what are the main differences in the 600 class?

 

[SickBeast]

Just this weekend I saw some GTX 670s for $339 locally so perhaps the price will drop soon.

Where?

I wouldnt waste your money with these cards, wait for the real kepler to come out.

That's what I'm doing.

 

[SickBeast]

Where?

NCIX had them. They sold out really fast. I'll buy one if they crop up again at that price.

I seen those too.

 

[recycledsole]

whats real kepler?

 

[SickBeast]

whats real kepler?

Big Kepler. It's coming out in the fall for the professional market and sometime after that as a regular GPU. It's a considerably larger and more complex successor to Kepler.

 

[recycledsole]

at that point price may go down

 

[SickBeast]

at that point price may go down

Yes, plus AMD is working on stuff as well, although I think theirs is slated more for early 2013.

I'm hoping that the GTX 660 will create a price war.

As long as people continue to spend stupid amounts of money for barely any performance advantage in the VGA market poor pricing will remain. The DX11 craze and AMD's poor showing with the 7970 have made things a lot worse lately so best to keep your 570 until you find a deal around the $300 mark. There are currently no single GPU cards on the market worth $400-500 dollars this round and it'll be at least a year or more until you see realistic pricing.

If you really think the 570 isn't fast enough you definitely won't be happy with a meager 20% boost. I've seen the 680 in action OC'd in BF3 and not even the 680 can keep up that well with MSAA in that game. It's a joke.

a 680 is about 50% faster than a gtx570. that may not be all that impressive buts it is certainly better than 20%.

Same here. Although supposedly even the 660TI is delayed (and it will be built off the GK104 GPU) - so I'm not holding my breath.

 

[skipsneeky2]

That's what I'm doing.

Not sure who is more extreme,you or Don.

He dumps sli gtx670 cards and trust me they are beastly for a gtx690 with plans of a second one in less then 2 weeks and here you are with 3x 7970 cards and waiting for big kepler.:awe:

I admire you cause that is simply crazy but awesome at the same time as i know i am sitting on my sli gtx670 cards till a single card comes out with 25% more performance.

I'm waiting for Big Kepler as well. :biggrin:

Most likely not gonna happen anytime soon. nVidia sells everything they can make. So unless AMD can do a miracle AND want to price lower. Then no, prices will be the same year out.
