About future prices??

[andylp4ever]

hi! anybody can think how the prices of the graphics cards will be at the end of the year? especially the 4800 series of ATi.... im interested in the HD 4890... will be cheaper or more expensive??? should i wait until the end of this year?? any new cards are about to come??? thank you!!!

the ATI prices went up after Nvidea brought out the Fermi based cards, so you know it was a marketing ploy, I would think down in a few months

Cheaper on ebay, and places like newegg won't have them in stock anymore. They'll probably go for $150 on eBay, the 4870 $120, and the 4850 $80. Basically they'll stay the same, because ATI's 5K equivalent is already near the same price.

Let me get out my crystal ball... Sorry, it's not working right now.

Seriously, nobody can tell you for sure what prices are going to do in the future. The general trend, however, is that discontinued items go up in price because they aren't being manufactured any more. If you really want a previous generation card then you should probably buy it used. That being said, why not get a current generation 5xxx GPU instead?

It looks like I'm not the only one who feels that the chances of a Spanish civil war increased ten fold on Sunday. :lol:

The best kind of war is the one that's kept on the track, and the one between Pedrosa and Lorenzo is one some of us have been waiting for and salivating over. Economics and other boring "normal" politics are not any concern for me.
