AMD plans price cuts for Radeon HD 4800 series
Prices for the Radeon HD 4890 card will reportedly be lowered from $249 to $199, while the HD 4870 will be priced at $149, down from $199 – a quick search at Newegg already shows a factory overclocked version of this GPU from PowerColor priced at $154. Lastly, the Radeon HD 4850 is expected to go below the $100 mark. By comparison, the cheapest GeForce GTX 260 is available for around $165, while a GTS 250 currently sells for some $130 and a 9800 GT for $100.

Cool! Any news on how they are going to fix the low availability of the HD 4770 though? That is one sweet card! I am tempted to get two for Crossfire, hence the query. |

@rage, nope, my bad, it was that they were releasing the 4730 with the 55nm process ,with similar performance because the 40nm process yields were so bad. http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/video/print/20090526225005_ATI_ |

@red1776, that's too bad man. @yukka, OCUK also has Sapphire and Powercolor HD 4890s for £150-ish inc. VAT. Pretty sweet deals IMO. |
