Nvidia cuts high-end graphics card prices to fight AMD
In a textbook example of why competition is good, Nvidia has dropped the price on two of its high-end graphics cards, presumably to keep up with rival AMD.
Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 780 (shown above) is getting the largest price cut, from $649 to $499. That makes it $50 cheaper than AMD’s comparable R9 290X.
The less-expensive Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 is also getting a price cut, from $399 to $329. AMD still hangs onto a cost advantage here, with the comparable Radeon R9 280X retailing for $299.
To sweeten the deal, Nvidia is giving away a few free games with its high-end cards when purchased from select retailers, along with $50 to $100 off the purchase of an Nvidia Shield handheld.
PC Perspective reports that the price drops on Nvidia’s cards should go live by Tuesday on Amazon and Newegg.
