Nvidia GTX 280 price drops ?

GTX280 listing

Fud

$125 less than a Radeon HD 4870 X2

Nvidia got itself in price wars as it wants to move Geforce GTX 280 out of the retail / etail shelves. Currently at newegg Nvidia is selling its high end cards for as little as $374.99 after you get your mail in rebate marketing scam.

The cheapest card listed is BFG Geforce GTX 280 and it normally sells for $404.99 and after a $30 mail in rebate you get to the final price of $374.99. This is the lowest price of Nvidia's top of the iceberg, high end card that we've seen in years.

EVGA is a runner up with $419.99 price that sinks all the way to $389.99 after a $30 mail in rebate.

At the same time top ATI, Radeon 4870 X2 card from Diamond is selling for $499 after $50 mail in rebate and obviously, ATI doesn?t want to drop the price as the product sells at the current one. Other vendors are more expensive making this gap even bigger.

This isn't exactly new- we've been seeing 280s for $360-$380 AMIR for months.

FUD must have a run out of things to post.

Maybe...just maybe, there may be on in my future then. Other than a X2.

Think Nvidia is trying to clear inventory on the 65nm GT200 chips before they move to their 55nm chips?
