In the wake of AMD rolling out the $299 Radeon R9 280X, $199 Radeon R9 270X, and $139 Radeon R7 260X; NVIDIA is giving final touches to price cuts to several of its SKUs, beginning with the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost. Originally priced at $149, pricing of the card could be adjusted closer to that of the R7 260X. Our review of the card revealed NVIDIA's offering to be a staggering 24 percent faster overall. NVIDIA could also lower the price of the now $180 GeForce GTX 660. All eyes, however, are on the $249 GeForce GTX 760, which is sandwiched by AMD's offerings.

There's also talk of NVIDIA developing a new SKU, possibly the "GeForce GTX 760 Ti" or "GeForce GTX 765" (likely names), to occupy the $240~260 price range. We expect this chip to be essentially an overclocked GeForce GTX 670 with GPU Boost 2.0; which may not quite go after the R9 280X, since it's already performing on par with the GeForce GTX 770. The new price cuts could take effect very soon; although DigiTimes isn't ruling out a second round of price-cuts in November, either.

I'm not really an nVidia guy, but I certainly do appreciate them. Close competition like this means that us consumers on both sides win. :cool:

I just prefer Nvidia drivers still, I have no regrets in my GTX 780 upgrade last month from a radeon 6970. My 6970 served me well, but the top 3 games I play the most all support Physx, so it is nice to finally get the full effects.

If you don't play Physx games much then yeah I can understand sticking with AMD. Physx is worth the extra price to me

Come on Nvidia baby, you know you want to drop prices on the gtx 670 too.

Yeah that would be nice,....

I bought my GTX 670 quite a while ago on sale for $279.99 plus three free games valued (at the time) at about ~$50 each.

Cheaper GTX660, GTX770 and GTX780 are welcome too though,....

Everybody wins!!!
