Posted October 24, 2013 Let's be real. If the 780 price comes all the way down to match the 290x ain't nobody buying anything but a 780.... IMO. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO. lol Do you really think that AMD hasn't got any room for price corrections? When nVidia is going to drop their prices on the 780, AMD/other vendors are going to go with it and drop the prices below the new price tag. They're probably able to drop able to drop at least 50$ of that price, plus you still have the Never Settle - Bundle with a lot of games which adds to the value and will be another strong point FOR AMD phanteks enthoo pro | intel i5 4690k | noctua nh-d14 | msi z97 gaming 5 | 16gb crucial ballistix tactical | msi gtx970 4G OC | adata sp900 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 24, 2013 I still think its weird not to include the crossfire feature on the R9 290x. I know they said because they didn't see a performance increase but I still find it a little weird.

In regards to the never settle bundle, did Nvidia counter with something similar? The Holiday bundle, right? I believe with the 780 you get Assassins Creed Black Flag, Splinter Cell Blacklist, Batman Arkham Origins, and $100 off a shield. Given that, if the price is dropped on the 780 it does make it a very attractive option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever seen Jen-Hsun in an interview? He wouldn't panic if there was a 50 ton amd graphics card about to fall on his head ;p AMD holds the fps/$ crown on alot of price points at this moment and that's great because that means nvidea has to react. They have to make a couple of price drops NOW or they will lose customers. And they better make sure that the 780ti is at least on par with R9-290X. If not I will be kinda disappointed in the green team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that, if the price is dropped on the 780 it does make it a very attractive option. Yeah, there has been something similar, but AMD has been doing this for a lot longer and a much wider variety of cards and I believe for 5 games. Considering the price, of course they're not doing it right away! It's balancing act, almost psychological warfare. They're going to observe how the sales are shifting, but considering that AMD has always been the budget option (being cheaper than nVidia) they have a lot of interest in keeping the price below the GTX780 simply because the 290X is only able to beat it with overclocking and while running extremely hot. Just imagine the loss in profit if nVidia decides to put the 780ti on the price point for the 780 and the 780 below 550$ and AMD wouldn't put the price down. The 780 is still faster in a lot of scenarios than the 290x and AMD knows that. People are not going to accept the fact that they have to pay more for a worse card. phanteks enthoo pro | intel i5 4690k | noctua nh-d14 | msi z97 gaming 5 | 16gb crucial ballistix tactical | msi gtx970 4G OC | adata sp900 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 24, 2013 Let me fix that for you.. I don't really care because I am an nvidia man but still happy because the 290x made nvidia *panic* and make the 780ti.... Yes and No. I can assure you that nVidia didn't panic, simply because they knew the performance of this card prior to launch! They did however react to the launch of the 290x and therefor acknowledge the fact that AMD is getting closer and closer and are a threat to sales. My theory is this, that the 780ti is going to be the enthusiasts card and will most likely go on sale for the same price as the 780 @ launch. But that opens up an opportunity for nVidia to drop prices on the 780 and go into direct battle with AMD over pretty much the same customer base, something we haven't seen yet/in a long time. AMD was always for people who cared about the bang 4 buck and nVidia for people who are willing to pay more for a little more performance, but that's not the case anymore. nVidia will drop the prices on the 780 probably down to somewhere around 570 - 580$ I reckon. phanteks enthoo pro | intel i5 4690k | noctua nh-d14 | msi z97 gaming 5 | 16gb crucial ballistix tactical | msi gtx970 4G OC | adata sp900 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
