NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti To Cost Around $650 – GeForce GTX 780 Reciving Price Cut To Tackle Radeon

NVIDIA’s strategy is to give their GeForce GTX 780 a price cut probably after the GeForce GTX Holiday bundle expires late next month. NVIDIA will wait for the AMD Radeon R9 290 to launch and based upon its price give their GeForce GTX 780 a massive price cut to compete specifically against the Hawaii Pro card. Since both would be about the same in terms of performance, the one offering more value in the end would be deemed the winner.

So the ti might not beat a 290X, merely trade blows?

If that's the case it's frankly unsurprising. There's been very little to choose between AMD & nVidia other than personal preference for a long time now...

Called it.

Nvidia certianly are getting the most from the 110, How long has this chip design been around now?

780 with a price drop to ~£400 with splinter cell, Arkham origins and Assassins Creed Black Flag would be a pretty good seller I reckon!

I would forget all about the r9 29 what's it... if a 780 was priced like that with those games.

This.

Nvidia are in the driving seat this time.

Free games + PhysX + G-Sync + a great price

Why look anywhere else?

The article says the price cut will come in after the games bundle expires so no 'free' games.

Can always count on Nvidia not to give a too great a deal to its customers

Reminds me of late 2002/early 2003 when ATi released Radeon 9500 Pro... a card a bit too good for the price and a bit too competitive against their own Radeon 9700's... so much that after 6months they made it EOL and released Radeon 9600Pro making people think it was a faster/better card but no.
First and only time I've seen a company retract a product that was a bit too good for their own sake. :cool:

Boomstick777 · 23 Oct 2013 at 11:58

^^ Yeah neither of these company's are charity's. Both seem to have shady tactics. All this propitiatory API crap, makes me want to jump to console. I want a unified platform ffs. Hopefully SteamOS will bring things together for PC..

If the 780 drops to a reasonable number, I might have to get a 3rd for 3 way SLI

uksoldierboy · 23 Oct 2013 at 12:34

So torn between getting a 780 or waiting for the 290X (not long i know) not had a card from the green team since my 8800..

Noxia · 23 Oct 2013 at 12:36

Brilliant, glad I've just beefed up my PSU.

Wucked · 23 Oct 2013 at 13:30

I'm considering dumping my 780 in favor of a 290X. If mantle lives up to its hype I probably will...

>>>Apart from AMD being far better value for money.

About free games, who cares these days what with humble bundles or steam sales. The free games while nice i guess are just a gimmick. Tho i can see why ppl might want em, to flog em to get the price of the card they bought for cheaper in the end but well. If its a expensive card like 400+ then saving a little from the games isnt gona be that much.
