Questions end in question marks, please. This really does cause problems from time to time when people think it's an announcement

Next time, do not create a topic title that sounds like that, because people reading these forum, will get the wrong impression, that you REALLY know something about a price cut and you're not just spreading what you heard through your neighborhood. At least use a question mark for god sake!

 

[betasub]

I thought this was an announcement.... put a question mark in your title pls!

Why do I have a feeling that betasub only posted what he did because error8 posted what he did ?

I agree with error8 though...

EDIT: Although if there are price cuts coming, I would like to know as well. But I do know the GTX260 has reached eol. The Core 216 is all that is going to be released as a 260 here on out.

God what a moron... waste of my time.

And you're a waste of my time. I'd ban you for the above based on your history, but you've already been banned once today.

Don't you mean... moran?

On topic: I heard that there were going to be GTX 260 (core 216, obviously) price cuts, but I haven't heard anything about other cards from ATi or nVidia.

YES

They will cut prices by some percentage, and it will be sometime in the future.

:roll:

Does anyone seriously expect that kind of information to be public knowledge (beyond what Intel does)?

 

[Blackfirevatsal]

ATI, Nvidia to Cut Prices on Graphics Cards, Says Report.
Standalone Graphics Cards Set to Become Cheaper

Ok, so just a report predicting the inevitable, no surprise there. Now if they predicted price rises in the technology sector, that'd be news!

So, a report by some third party stating the obvious and with no prediction as to exactly when.

Oh yes, prophesy at its best!

Zap the almighty predicts that [drum roll plz] Intel Core i7 prices will drop.

I will bet money that my prediction comes true.

i predict the sun will rise tomorrow morning (local time of course). anyone care bet against me? i'll give you 10 trillion gazillion to 1.

now seriously, price cuts come as a response by one company to another company's move.
so until either company releases a new product that gets best bang for its price category, no one has a need to cut prices in order to bring a strong card into a price category in which they lost their lead.
get it? good. now go to sleep and by the time you wake up Larrabee will be upon us and Intel would undercut nVidia and AMD/ATI and force them to release very high powered cards at low prices.

 

[taltamir]

yes but a company eventually releases newer products which compete with their own older products, or saturate the market. Either one of those WILL cause even a monopoly to eventually reduce the price of what they are selling.

Unless the report gives a DATE and AMOUNT of a price cut, then it might aswell be stating that the sun will rise tomorrow.

When I woke up this morning, I felt the gift of prophecy had been given to me while slept last night as well.

Something is coming now..getting clearer....almost got it......there!

Rollo the All Seeing predicts in days to come he will be posting things some will construe as controversial, most likely abojut video cards.

There you have it.

On topic, I don't know about a pricing strategy, but it looks like prices are dropping, perhaps for the holidays. GTX260 Core 216s at <$250 with Far Cry2 are pretty easy to come by, and they were $300 not long ago.
