AMD is set to cut the prices of its Radeon HD 7000 series GPUs... Let the Price Wars Continue!
AMD is preparing another round of prices cuts on its Radeon HD 7900 series and HD 7800 series products. The move is to make them more price competitive against Nvidia's lineup, including the pending release of the GTX 660 Ti.
New Pricing Structure:
- Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition: US $499
- Radeon HD 7970: US $429
- Radeon HD 7950: US $349
- Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition: US $299
- Radeon HD 7850: US $249
The most significant set of price cuts come with the HD 7950 and below, which puts these cards into a more affordable price point, in the price-performance "sweetspot" battle with Nvidia.

master_chen Not low enough. But good news anyway, this means I can buy my second 7970 (for CFX) in about half a year from now...or somewhere around that.Reply -
EzioAs ^ Agreed. It's not low enough. Let's hope after the 660ti comes out at a frickin $300, which is high for a mid range-card, the 7800 prices go down more.Reply -
Au_equus $370 for the 7970 with 5 free games at TD. O.OReply

nocteratus Rumors place the gtx660ti above the performance of a gtx580, then it should be between the performance of the 7870 and 7950.Reply
AMD HD 7000 prices are still too high. AMD should lower the 7950 to $300 to be competitive with nvidia. -
boiler1990 doomtombBack in my day (2009), mid-range cards were $200-249. Not this $299+ crap.Mid-range cards were in that range less than 3 years ago. It seems like this generation is the beginning of the trend...Reply
