AMD HD4870 for 149$ - - MAJOR PRICE CUT

[comp@ddict]

The ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB will drop $50 in price, from the $199 segment down to $149. It will compete in this price point primarily against NVIDIA's GTS 250 1GB rebrand using the old G92 chip, variants of which were used in the 8800GT, 9800GT, 9800GTX, 9800GTX+, etc. However, the HD 4870 has been shown to surpass the performance of NVIDIA's GTX 260 line, and value seekers may choose to leave NVIDIA for a better price/performance point.

The ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB will drop to $129, and is designed to compete at the same price point as NVIDIA's GTS 250 512MB version. The Radeon HD 4830 will be replaced by another part soon at a lower price point.

That's awesome. Too bad the prices won't reflect in India soon.

Yes GTS250 is a rebranded dud.


But here's the review of GTS250, having 2GB Memory (OMG).

^^I know one guy at TDF running this with a Core 2 Duo with a Cooler Master 500W.

But recommended is Corsair VX450W and above.
