Nvidia to drop 280 / 260 prices
 

As of tomorrow, Nvidia plans to drop the prices of Geforce GTX 280 and 260. The reason for this sudden price cut is that the cards are not selling as well as Nvidia expected. The second part of the story is that Radeon HD 4870 ended up better than Nvidia had hoped.


Nvidia will cut $90 off the Geforce GTX 280 price-tag, but this is Nvidia's price to partners and we are not sure just how much this will affect the suggested e-tail price. We are sure that end user prices will also drop, but probably a bit less than $90.

They'll have to do better than that if they want to compete with ATI's 4800 series cards.
