Sub US$60 for 512MB GDDR3 card

It seems like AMD is going to keep putting pressure on Nvidia in the graphics card market as Tom's Hardware Taiwan has scored some AMD slides which reveals the pricings of the RV710 and the most expensive card is expected to end up somewhere between US$49-59.

The cards will use GDDR3 memory, at least initially, with a 256MB version coming in at as little as US$39-49. A DDR2 version is expected to become available slightly later on for a sub US$39 price.

It doesn't seem like AMD is willing to give Nvidia any kind of head room and the company seem pretty sure that even its DDR2 version will beat the recently announced Geforce 9400GT.

The site is also suggesting that the retail names for the RV710 will be the Radeon HD 4550 and Radeon HD 4350, although we wouldn't put too much trust in this quite as yet, since there's no real reason for AMD to step away from its current naming scheme.
