Price Drop

[lovingGamer]

When r9 380x is out, will r9 280 sapphire drop in price range of the 270x?

 

 

[zappian]

The 280x will drop to the price of a 270x now IMO.

[minibois]

Yes and maybe.

'Old' GPU's will get cheaper when newer ones come out, but not by a whole lot

When r9 380x is out, will r9 280 sapphire drop in price range of the 270x?

 

Considering that AMD should still have a pretty large stock of high end GPU's (because of overproduction based on Bitcoin mining hype) they're probably gonna try to get rid of it. Only way to do that is to lower the price i'd assume.

[Extingquish]

I personally think it's quite low in price already

Maybe in your country, sure not in my.

280x is really... Really powerful

Maybe in your country or maybe i'm poor..

so i hope you can understand

when the new series is released, the older gpus become harder to find and therefore usually expensive after the supply from retailers runs out

 

take a look at this: the 6970 is nearly 3 gens old and take a look at how much people want for it: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004GCIZ5A/?tag=pcpapi-20

You made me smile

 

 

Guys you are all giving me positive comments!!

Let's hope that it's gonna be in my country like you are all saying

I would hope that AMD comes out with a 384bit Tonga GPU to replace the 280/280x (because the 285 is just a tech demo with no performance gains).

 

Otherwise if the 280x is still in production, they will probably stay above 200 dollars.

 

With the stagnant performance increases of the whole processor industry, I would expect AMD to sit where the moneys good and the costs are low. the 960 just cemented the 280x in a good spot for a while, so I have my doubts on another price drop.

[lovingGamer]

If the 380X turns out as rumors expected, it would totally outclass everything in the ~$200 range.

 

There wouldn't be a reason to lower the price of those mid range cards.

 

200 US Dollars is just how much i'm expecting GPU to be after release..

Ooh i didn't think of that! Could make for some great deals

I want the 280/x to drop in price, so I can get one and CF it with my 280x C:

[lovingGamer]

I suspect it will go up against the 970 or 980. Those cost over $300. I don't think AMD will go ballistic and undercut by $100. They need the income after all.

 

So r9 280 should cost 200 US dollars?

I want that too..

[lovingGamer]

 

The R9 280 doesn't cost $200.

 

I'm all for price drops but I expect the 380X to be priced sensibly.

 

okay.......

 

I hope that R9 280 drops in price

[lovingGamer]

any more news?

[Carde]

280 and 290x will likely be EOL and will no longer be produced I mean they are based in tech that is 3+ years old by now. It is more likely a new mid range card will take up the slack, some think a change to a 285 makes sense as it is a newer chip.

 

Anyhow if you want just buy them second hand, 280x and 7970Ghz (same cards in fact some 7970Ghz are faster) sell for between 120-150 euros second hand with warranties.

[KamiKatze]

You'll definiteley see the price drop on used 200 series cards. wait 1-2 weeks after release and they will plumit down. that's what hapened to all the GTX 780s.

after release, to wait 1-2 weeks and new ones will drop in price too? (I'm not interested in used!!)

it almost even looks like prices drop before the release. all the online merchants want to get rid of the old stuff. many stop selling them shortly after the release of the newer generation. thats at least how it is in germany. jsut have your eyes peeled around the time of release.

Now R9 280 is 215 EURO

Price did not drop.
