Video card price drops?

[acegazda]

With dx10 and g80 on the horizon, will the video card market experience the same price drops as the cpu market? a 1/2 price cut on an x1900xt would be nice!😀 What is the general consesnsus as to when the current crop of video cards will drop in price?

bump^^

it's already down pretty far from the $400 it stuck around at for a while

 

[acegazda]

true, however, it is going to be very close in price to the $400 x1950xtx... shouldn't they drop it below $300?

The X1900XT is going to go down to an MSRP of $280 from what I hear with the coming of the X1950XTX.

 

[ElFenix]

there have been several in hot deals over the last week or so under $300.

 

[acegazda]

Sweet, then that's when I'll get one. What about the nvidia lineup, with G80 coming?

boom

That is a rediculous price... I need a newegg equivalent in Canada!!! I struggled to snag a deal for a x1900xt for like 320 w/taxes and it was used

hopefully after the msrp drops to $280, there'll be more rebate to bring it under $200!😛 Even though that's OEM, it doesn't look like it's missing anything from the retail package, thanks for the link!
