Since GTX 660 Ti won NVIDIA this round, there won't be any more fuel to place on the competitive flames until AMD produces the Radeon HD 8000 and NVIDIA lets loose the boards designed with the GK110 GPU.īut we digress. Nevertheless, the decision is quite surprising, since the previous changes were made due to the impending arrival of the same rival product.Īt this point, the contest between AMD's Radeon series and NVIDIA's GeForce is one of attrition more than anything else.
#Amd radeon hd 7800 series video card upgrade#
The mid to high-end card debuted last week, its performance high enough to not bat an eyelash at the BIOS-based frequency upgrade of all HD 7950 models. Those keeping track of recent events will immediately understand why Advanced Micro Devices felt compelled to set this price reduction in place: NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 660 Ti. Advanced Micro Devices reduced the prices of its high-end video cards earlier this summer, but recent developments have forced it to cut the tags of more boards, the Radeon HD 7800 series. The HD 7870, for example, would sell for 201 Euro on the old continent if that were the case. You will notice that the equivalent European prices do not reflect exchange rates, as always. Quite a bit below the initial launch price of $349 / 320-349 Euro. The Radeon HD 7870 is going down from $299 (270-299 Euro on European retailers) to $249 / 220-249 Euro. Lost the original paperwork, this is the best I can figure out: Video card: HIS Radeon HD 7870 IceQ X Graphic Card H787QN2G2M.
