obviously you didn't read much in this thread.
the new price in Newegg now, GTX260 USD299, GTX280 USD499.
it's not soooo expensive compare to ati hd4000 series now.

Wahaha if the $499 its is equal to 4870 X2 prices.I am sure there will be more price cut on august(including HD 4870 and GTX260,280.)

huh?
that mean RM 1k for GTX260 and RM1.5k for GTX280?

yeah, RM1k for GTX260 sounds much more reasonable than the initial RM1.3k.
but i still will take HD4870 because most reviews show it's slightly better than GTX260.

Errr guys,

I dun think GTX prices will drop to that level you mentioned. We need to factor in many costs. Some of reasons already mentioned here (see middle of page): http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/728477/+1100

Check out the HD4870 vs NVidia links below. Hope that will help you decide better, for those considering ATI 4000 series vs NVidia 9800 & GTX series.

IMO, i think if they dont cut down the price, then situation will be worse. bcoz ppl nowadays always compare the price/performance ratio. and then they will suffer much more coz ppl will turn to the other side that offer much better offerings. the demand will be extremely low for this nvidia product. some said they're exist just to exist coz nobody will buy thier product. really bad news then..

just my 2 cents..

imo, nVidia crazy pricecut(s) won't effect malaysia's pricing that fast, due to stocks that already been bought by distro/shopskeeper ..

True, probably shops not that fast, however some traders in the trade zone already selling the GTX 280 at RM19XX.

just back from lyp. msi gtx280 oc edition rm1799.

Ehleh...I just brough 2 8800GTS 512mb from Karom with Rm1880 le...now GTX280 are more cheaper...=.=ll

Lolz.Nevermind also the 8800GTS SLi performance i think near to GTX280 also what.

i dont think so.

Most definitely not.

See the results for yourself.







9800GX 2 beats 8800GTS SLI while GTX 280 beats even 9800GX 2

Thats wut i think earlier dual not worth buying, coz theres alwis new 1s out .

Nvm le...8800GTS G92 SLi same performance as 9800GX2 and lose very very less 3-6 Fps to single GTX280......just very shock the GTX280 drop price until RM1.7k le

nVidia bola kecut de... ATI 4000 series new driver pump up the performance ma...
if they didnt cut price ma die lo.. everyone move to the Red side..

Not to make fire... but nvidia got probs... so there r several questions out there how it would effect the new gtx200 series line. If they really lose too much money they wont be able to pricecut. If they lose way too much money they may wont even be in business long...

If this is a real problem the class action suits will drop the company's share value to single digit....

GTX series damn expensive
not all of us can afford it
Performance /price ATI wins

nvidia will lose out soon if no recovery action taken..bad news for all of us. ATi will dominate and results unhealthy competition. no more price wars.

AMD marketing strategy rocks

We cannot let AMD dominate it.Otherwise we will see HD 4850 price at RM 1k..

maybe not for the current gen of ati..maybe we expected in next gen card. maybe hd5xxx the price might be high

NVIDIA Preparing GT300 Graphics Processor? : http://www.techpowerup.com/65380/NVIDIA_Pr...Processor?.html
g200b cancel?
seems like prank newz..

GT300 at 45nm process??

nvidia cancelled g200b maybe because the gtx200 series was not sufficient to cover up their losses and not enough to take back the market.

they must take a radical step to recover by starting on gt300

even nvidia already know thier current gc has no fight against hd4xxx in term of price
juz start working gt300 ba

Hmm..No completiong date expected?
I wonder how's ATi
So far i hear HD 5K Series is at the end of the year and its ranging from 30~40nm processing node.

alo bro, ur cards is better la than gtx280..
this reviews from anandtech, it using 8800gt, but ur 8800gts sli should be more better

[attachmentid=526214]


[attachmentid=526220]

Some Games GTX280 are better and some games 9800GX2 / 8800GTS G92 SLI better. Problem now is GTX280 now price are better than 9800GX2 and 8800GTs G92 SLI le

i wonder.. anyone who bought when gtx280 was over 2.1K in price will get rebate or at least some credit note???

due to the drastic drop in price less than a month

LOL

hehe jinaun.. rugi kau ->

btw , my feel keep telling me 9800GX2 still better

Due to 256SP ? 16 SP more than GTX280

GTX 280 brandwith and texture fillrate are crazy high. Poor Jinaun buy GTX 280 at high price

that was cheap at that time..

Too bad, no rebate will be given on good-already-sold-item

Hopefully nv will slash their price le...

Hope so cos it is 2 expensive

nvm one la...now nvidia lose, next time they will be better liao lo...

both of them must be on par in term of performance to benefit end users... heehhe

gtx260 retails abt 1.2k now and gtx280 abt 1.6k

i think that pricing level is ideal?

of coz its always better to be cheaper.. LOL

hehe jinaun...

buy another 1 to SLI ?

1.6k quite good price

i can't

i oledi have x48 board...

if i want SLI i have to spend abt 3K meaning.. anohter gtx280 +780i board... pokai lah like dat..

hahahah

maybe i shall consider going 4870 CF or 4870X2

yeah, go for the dark side... gtx280 too pricy.... for me... hd3870x2 is good enuf.

it wont be enough for high res user....
the thing most ppl scare is, today high end, tomorrow mid end...

well.. judging by the temp reading of the 4K series... its turning me off

coz i previously used 3870x2 and its bloody hot... then change to 3870 CF... still freaking hot!

idle at around 70C

lol

So sell to me ur gtx280.

that's normal for nvidia and ati, they have to come out newer and powerful graphics card which possesses powerful graphic processing to keep the market advancing.

I wonder how Nvidia will pull through their current lawsuits.
Seems they are in a lot of trouble.

Maybe all this might lower their products...hehe...
I still think GTX280 is the best card out there...now that it's price has dropped to about 1.7k

it seems that nv keep dropping price for its newly launch gc..
ATI is not dropping much due to high demand for it...
Mayb ATI will drop after nv done another price slash. ... hmmm... interesting...

Adjust ur GPU fan speed faster.

i shouldn't be adjust the GPU fan speed in the first place...
