With AMD detailing its Radeon R9 and R7 series, especially at some very attractive sub-$299 price-points for the most part, there are jitters being felt at NVIDIA. The company is expected to unveil one or two new sub-$250 GeForce GTX SKUs around mid-October, 2013. The company is also expected to introduce price-cuts across its entire lineup, to make it competitive with AMD's. NVIDIA could tap into its existing GK104 and GK106 silicons to carve out the two new SKUs ranging between $149.99 and $249.99. The idea here would be to topple Radeon R9 270X. Price-cuts could be directed at the likes of GeForce GTX 760 and GTX 770, to make them competitive with the Radeon R9 280X, while in anticipation of the $599 pricing of the R9 290X, NVIDIA could rethink pricing of its $650 GeForce GTX 780, and $1000 GTX TITAN.

This sounds interesting will be looking for a card towards end of the month hopefully Titan down to £630 area and 780's £440 that would be ideal for me :)

You never know for the old price NVidia may start doing a BOGOF special.:D

Get another two Titans in there, you know they are more future proof than the R9 290X with it's 4gb of vram.:D:)

Haha, that would be sweet and like Thont said, I would need that voucher for benching purposes, as 2 Titans and a 3930K will eat my 1050W for breakfast.

For normal use I would go for a Titan @£630 over a R9 290X every time, that 6gb of vram makes them very future proof.

4K may be a little way off but at least you know 6gb cards will be able to deal with it.
 
I don't really see the need of "new SKUs" though.

They just need to drop price of GTX760 to the said $149.99 and GTX770 to the said $249, and rebadge the GTX670 to GTX760Ti, and GTX680 to GTX770LE to fill in the gap and it's job done...
 
Be interesting to see what they do with the 780 and Titan pricing. Difficult to see the Titan price coming down too heavily as they'll at least want to save a little face lol.

The 670 and 680 are re badged as the 760 and 770 respectively and given a speed bump for good measure so what you say makes no sense.

You are missing my point. Performance wise the GTX670 and GTX680 is already sitting between the GTX760 and GTX770. There's not much room to move up or down between the GTX760 and GTX770 that are much difference to the already existing GTX670 and GTX680 performance.

I guess they will probably cut down the CUDA cores count from the GTX680 to make one of the new SKUs, and then may be the GTX670 rebadge with a higher clock as another or something.
