Greetings,

NVIDIA recently released two new GPUs (GTX 1070 and the GTX 1080), it's confirmed that the price for the 1070 will be 379$ while the 1080 will be 599$, that's crazy cheap. (GTX 1080 will cost $599 and launch May 27, with GTX 1070 following June 10 for $379).
I was wondering, how will, lower end graphics cards, react to these low prices? The 1070 is nearly the same price as a GTX 970, currently, on amazon, you can buy a GTX 970 Gaming 4G for 363$.
So will a GTX 970 cost like 200$ and let's say a GTX 960, will it cost around 100$? How about a Titan X? Will they just stop producing it entirely due to its high production cost and other reasons?

The same happens with every new series. The cards are always priced similar at launch and drop slowly over time til the new gen. You are going to see sales soon to help get rid of stock. Prices would eventually drop permanently to sale prices but not too low for people that still want to cf/sli. Usually last gen stop being manufacturered once the new gen has good supply and how the model falls in the price/performance bracket. You didn't see 700 series stop being made since 900 didn't have a full range of models but it's why the 760 and up stopped. It will be awhile till they get enough stock of the 1070 and 1080 so the 900s won't stop just yet.

There WAS a rumor stating that they were stopping production on the 900 series. If that's the case, its either prices will jump, or prices will plummet based on how many are left in stock.

I see, that's really interesting. I guess we need to wait and see what happens.
