ATI Technologies said Tuesday it reconsidered the manufacturer suggested retail pricing (MSRP) of its RADEON X1600- and RADEON X1300-series graphics cards in a bid to make them more competitive when compared to rivaling offerings from partners of the company’s opponent NVIDIA Corp.

From now on, the suggested retail pricing of the RADEON X1600 XT 256MB will be $179, RADEON X1600 PRO 256MB will cost $129, RADEON X1300 PRO will be available for around $99 and the model X1300 will be quoted at about $79 or so, according to the developer of visual processing units. Earlier the aforementioned graphics cards were more expensive, for instance, the RADEON X1600 XT 256MB cost $249 originally.

Oh, price drops!

Too bad this doesn't affect the X1800 lineup.
