Nvidia to Release GT 430 to Rain on AMD Launch?

Better late than never I guess!

Whatever happens... it means more competition and lower prices for us..

First! and its not likely that they will "Rain" on anything...go ATI...no wait...go AMD!

Yes!!!!!! GTX480 to $20

NAO!

Higher numbers - lower performance.
ATI releases high end cards but NVIDIA counters them with a low end offering.


I don't know - the articles is stupid or... Anyway itt's comical.

I seriously doubt either of those card are gonna rain on AMD's parade.
What are we gonna hear next? Nvidia renaming half their current 4XX series to 5xx so they can trick people into thinking they having something "new" to compete against AMD's new offerings? It wouldnt surprise me one bit, I mean seriously, how many times was the 8800 renamed before they finally made something truly new?

Quoted "How many times was the 8800 renamed?"

I lost count, then I stopped buying Nvidia.

If nVidia goes down, AMD/ATI cards will start at $1000.

8800 GTX series was so ahead of the competition back then so they didn't had to work had to earn their money, they became decadent like most companies who lack competetion just like intel did when amd overtook them. Look what happened to intel after - they kicked their R&D into overgear and came out with their best product upgrade in a long time. Bet nvidia will do the same.

The thing is that we customers should be really happy that there are some real competition, better hardware for less prices than thoose microupgrades for higher prices when a single company is dominant.

AMD is going to release a high performance card and Nvidia planning to reply to those cards with Entry Level Card !!! What a joke !!

Trust me, Im all about competition. It would mean a nice, cheap 5770 for me to Crossfire with the one I already have. Im just leery of the stunts Nvidia has pulled in the past, along with the whole defective GPU debacle. It will take a lot for me to consider them again when it comes time to upgrade my GPU's.

so this is just a lowish end card of ther 4xx series for Nvidia and AMD has its next gen coming to put in a hook punch

I wounder how much a difference in performance difference there will be with the AMD 6xxx and Nvidia 4xx

Who cares about a low end 400 series card, wake me up when they are lowering the price of the 480s.

I hope that there will be an actual competition going on & not just false advertising...

WHY? wHEN THE 5850 AND 5870 ARE STILL SO SO SO GOOD.... WHAT A WASTE...

we need more X2 cards! CF cads, they should come out with a 5850x2 thats cheaper than a gtx480 instead and kill off Nvidia with this as some ppl can quad xfire!!!!!!!

Who the heck cares about entry level GPUs anyway?

Rain? Sounds more like a very, very light sprinkle. The rain so light you barely notice it until someone points it out kind of rain. AMD's umbrella isn't afraid.

Is this gonna be another 210,220,240? As far as I see the GTS 450 just barely beat GTS250. whats GT430 gonna be? half speed of GTS450 @ 75% of its price? >_>

Twice, for those who can't count very high!

Im always looking for the best value & a few notches up from entry level is where it's always at. Ever since the go7950gtx in my Dell XPS M1710 fried I only look at AMD's range. If Nvidia lowered their GTX480 to $20 it might be worth the risk but it still wont fit in the laptop. I look forward to seeing AMD's 6000 series benchmark's on here in a few weeks time...

Why would you want a 480? well i guess if your motherboard doesn't have sli. because 2 460s in sli beat a 480 in every way but slightly more watt usage. some sites report its only a 15watt difference at 100% load. 480s in sli is just a huge waste of money. even if it dropped 100 dollars its still a waste. use that extra 500 for a good SSD that will help more then having 2 480s when your monitor cant display more then 60fps or 120fps if you have a 3d monitor.

Why would AMD be afraid of some super low end last generation Fermi chip?

Sarcasm, you don`t get it.

LOL... so I guess this means the price won't drop on the GTS 450.

The article doesn't make a whole lot of sense in its logic. Nvidia is going to release a $100 card to rain on AMD's parade?

The only thing that would matter for the AMD new launch is dropping the 460 down by $30+.

WHY? wHEN THE 4850 AND 4870 ARE STILL SO SO SO GOOD.... WHAT A WASTE...
WHY? wHEN THE 3850 AND 3870 ARE STILL SO SO SO GOOD.... WHAT A WASTE...
Seriously though, WTF dude.

do nvidias credit, they had a hell of a card, and didn't need to, ati (at the time) was still playing catch up for quite a while.



some people are willing to pay the extra money to never go under 60fps. but lets be honest here, if you have money to sli two 480s you have a 2560 x 1600 monitor money, and even on cards today maxing at that resolution can dive down into the 50-60fps range, and even than, lower once you factor in the possibility of 3d or multiple monitors.



actualy where is most of the money made in graphics cards, as in cards sold?

the appearance of a new line with nvidias marketing could up atis party of dominance a bit, but only till the 6xxx low ends launch

9800, 9800+, GTS250, GTX280M. That's dirty!

It seems many of you are very confused. While high end cards are nice to look at, the majority of actually cash is been made on the low-mid priced cards. So while a NVidia 430 may not seem like very exciting news when compared to the release of the AMD 6000 series…. It does offer competition in the price range where NVidia has been getting its clocked cleaned (low-mid range). And before someone calls me a NVidia fanboi, my rig is all AMD, and I own a 5870 and would love a 6870, however since my 5870 is only 6 months old it’s not economical for me to upgrade it at this time… I’ll wait on the real 6000 series cards at 28nm…not a 45nm hybrid which is just a stop gap measure to keep NVidia at bay.

If NVIDIA wants to ruin an Ati Party, they'll need more than a price drop on a midrange product to counter a mid range launch of their rival. NVIDIA has better software & drivers. Lowering prices & offering a sweet piece of software although could.
