Geforce 9800 GTX goes down to $199
Not only that Geforce 9800GTX+ is powered by 55nm G92 chip, it will also come at an incredibly low prices. As Radeon HD 4850 comes dangerously close to Geforce 9800 GTX 65nm-based performance, Nvidia has decided to launch a new chip / card. Radeon HD 4850 has suggested e-tail price of $199 in the U.S. and close to €150 in Euroland with VAT.
Geforce 9800GTX+ GPU works at 738MHz and has significantly faster Shaders at 1836 with up to 15 percent of performance boost compared to Geforce 9800GTX. At the same time, 9800 GTX+ will launch at amazing $229 suggested e-tail price and should be available by July 15th.
At the same time, Nvidia plans to drop the Geforce 9800 GTX price all the way to $199 to make it more attractive. The question that remains is how Nvidia plans to finance such a move as there is still a load of 9800GTX 65nm cards in the channel, and especially after last week we don’t think many are considering to buy one.
