Nvidia's Geforce GTX 260 is going to be $30 cheaper at retail pretty soon, down to $199. Last week, AMD spoiled the launch of the Geforce GTS 250 with a round of price cuts on its Radeon 4800 series products. The price cuts from AMD pitted the 4870 512MB against the GTS 250 1GB sku, a match up easily in AMD's favor while also dropping the price of the 4870 1GB sku to $199. Now Nvidia seems to be reacting and positioning the GTX 260 directly against the 4870 1GB.
