AMD Plans Price Cut For HD 4800 Series In Q3

**MIG-31** · Jun 8, 2009, 08:09 PM

Starting from next month, AMD will cut the prices of their Radeon HD 4890, 4870, 4850 up to as much as US$50. This move is probably to lower the current inventory of their high end GPUs to make way for the RV870 series in September.

Price of HD 4890 card will be lowered from US$249 to US$199 while HD 4870 will be priced at US$149, down from US$199. Lastly, HD 4850 which we already saw the prices plummeting due to HD 4770 shortages will go below US$100 this time.

sounds like I will be snagging a second GPU and a new x-fire mobo in Q3

Very nice but logic since there are rumors about DX11 cards

Good stuff I still need another 4870 here

I might consider a second 4850 to get more AA at high resolutions, but what is likely to keep me away is the not so impressive idle power consumption. Nudge, nudge @AMD.
