New ATI video chipset

[superflymx6]

Do you think that when they release their new graphic cards, will this cause a drop in the price of the ATI 800XL card. Just asking because if so I can wait to get one if so.

nvidia will push prices both for ATi and their own cards since their new cards are already out there.

Only if NVIDIA sees a decline in sales. Doubtfull.

No they will remain high because seeing the new cards cost around $500-600+ makes the previous generation for around $300 feel like a deal.

Bend over.

Well it seems like the 800XL, will drop some more.

Price

Mail in rebates especially from the manufacturer usually arrive prior to price drops. So I would anticipate price drops very soon.

Ok most of the Radeon 800 rebate deals end in 2 days so any time after that is game for price drops.

Sounds good to me, i will not be getting anything until maybe the fall, so i am waiting on what i want to drop in price.

the x800xl should drop at least a little, it crossfires with the lower crossfire card, its hard to say what exact performance increase you get with it, it is a great card for its price and more than enough power for most gamer

of course if ati can't figure a way to stop the dual slaves on crossfire, its becomes pretty attractive
