Nvidia May Cut Prices of Graphics Cards in November – Report

From X-bit Labs: Although AMD did not disclose specifications of its new graphics product lineup last week, it did reveal its positioning. Quite naturally, its arch-rival Nvidia Corp. is about to react by nothing more but price-cuts.

AMD last week announced its latest GPUs, the Radeon R9 and R7 families priced between $89 and $599. The new GPUs are expected to bring pressure on Nvidia GeForce to offer price cuts in late November and release one or two new GPUs to defend the $149-249 segment, according to sources from graphics card players cited by DitiTimes web-site.

In the coming quarters AMD plans to introduce five new graphics cards designed for different market segments, including AMD Radeon R7 250 1GB GDDR5 ($89), AMD Radeon R7 260X 2GB GDDR5 ($139), AMD Radeon R9 270X 2GB GDDR5 ($199), AMD Radeon R9 280X 3GB GDDR5 ($299) as well as AMD Radeon R9 290X. AMD Radeon R9 290X will be available for pre-order starting October 3. A special Battlefield 4 edition of the R9 290X will also be up for grabs from select partners.
