Nvidia plans price reductions for Geforce GTX 770, 780 and Titan

AMD will soon release the first models in the new Radeon 200 series. It’s a whole family of graphics cards, from entry-level models all the way up to the flagship Radeon R9 290X. In other words, it will be really hot in the graphics card market in the future.

Information is now circulating at the retail level that Nvidia plans to respond. Primarily affected are the Geforce GTX 770, 780 and Titan models, whose prices will be adjusted to meet AMD’s newcomers in the higher performance classes.

The green team is said to be waiting to take some action until AMD’s pricing is known. AMD has admittedly already revealed the target prices for some of the models in the series, but on the other hand it is not uncommon for the price picture to change once the graphics cards have found their way to store shelves.

At the same time, several important questions remain about performance and availability, especially with regard to the Radeon R9 290 and 290X flagships. These are based on the new graphics processor Hawaii, while other graphics cards in the series reuse older circuits. For example, the Radeon R9 280X is said to be more or less identical to today’s Radeon HD 7970 Gigahertz Edition.
