Back up to $544 after MiR

And don't ever say "ever". AMD's drivers will probably improve.

I don't think it was an error. I think $350 is right where the 7970 should be. AMD is finally waking up. They should be used to selling their top GPUs for $300 anyways.

Price errors usually don't get honored.

So far, only one etailer dropping prices to $350 does not equate to "AMD waking up"

You'll see.

i already predicted it over two months ago when we got our HD 7970 for $550

However, this one etailer is not signaling anything yet. We are seeing an incremental softening of 7000 series pricing.

Nice to see custom 7970's as low as $430 AR and 7950's at $320 AR. IMO at these price the 680 is irrelevant and the 670 now has some pressure at the $400 price range. That combined with amd fixing there drivers with the new 12.7 release should hopefully force nvidia to lower prices on Kepler's which are starting to look over priced at the moment.

The word is "finally"

GTX 670 released May 10th and it is July 1st. AMD took 9 weeks to respond when they should have responded *immediately* with pricing adjustments.

What they have done is (now) given Nvidia plenty of time for them and their partners to respond

i said this back when the GTX 670 was released on May 10th in the Conclusion

Quote:

For its $399 price, it gives more than 90% of the performance of the GTX 680 which is priced at $500 and the 570 comes right into the $480 HD 7970′s performance territory. For the second time, the reference HD 7970′s $480 price needs to be adjusted downward. In this way, the GTX 570 is a game changer.

If AMD had met the GTX 670 with *today's* pricing when it launched 9 weeks ago, i think the public perception of Kepler vs. Tahiti would be different.

AMD is way too slow to respond and their strategy is traditional and too predictable to be effective.
-- if *I* can call it right weeks or months in advance, then AMD is in deep trouble as "strategists"
