Radeon 4870 price to sink $20

First adjustment since launch
Since Nvidia has the 180 series driver and is actually winning with Geforce GTX 260 with 216 Shaders in many popular games, ATI is readying to slightly adjust its price in order to put more pressure before the final Xmas shopping spree.
We’ve learned that ATI will drop its price by about $20 to channel which should result that these cards will get around $20 cheaper for customers around the world. European customers should see prices down by about 15 euro, which will give ATI a better fighting chance.
At the same time, ATI knows that they don’t have PhysX and there is a big rumour that the upcoming game called Mirror’s Edge might really push PhysX like never before. This is the first price reduction of RV770 based cards since launch which definitely proves that ATI did a good job and managed to sustain its launch price since it launched the card months ago.
As of this morning the European prices have started to drop from €200+ to €180+, and you can get Sapphire's HD4870 for €184 here.

Radeon HD4830 drops under €100QUOTE
Finally starts making sense
The lovechild of ATI engineers and AMD accountants, dubbed Radeon HD4830, has finally dropped under the €100 mark and started to make sense.
We tested it a month ago here. Sanjin was impressed by its performance, but not thrilled about the ridiculous pricing. Back then it was priced at €125, on par with HD4850 cards and obviously it didn't make any sense. We kept our eyes open for the price drop and told you to wait a bit in case you wanted one and this morning the new price started popping up on price search engines.
So there you have it, if you're in the market for sub-€100 graphics, the HD4830 is the way to go. You can a HIS HD4830 with non-reference cooling for €99, here.
For comparison, the cheapest HD4850 retails at €124, while the HD4870, following the price drop we talked about here, now costs €184.
