Following the GeForce 660 and 650 Ti Boost price cuts NVIDIA decided also to lower the prices of high-end segment.

Current price of NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 780 is far from being competitive in comparison to Radeon R9 290X and the upcoming R9 290. Both cards are supposedly faster than GTX 780, so the Green Team had no choice but to lower the price of their flagship. Of course NVIDIA has still an ace in the hole, yet unreleased GeForce GTX 780 Ti, but it two weeks before it reaches the market.

New prices

NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 780 will receive a price cut over $100. Final prices are not yet confirmed , although first European retailer has dropped the price to €430.

NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 770 will now cost around $50 less (€279 in EU).

UPDATE:

GTX 770 from 279 EUR
GTX 780 from 429 EUR
KFA2 GTX 780 from £419.99 inc VAT (OCUK)

NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 780 will receive a price cut over $100. I don’t have any exact number yet, but this would suggest a price between $549 to $529 (to be confirmed).

Still too expensive IMO. But at least they are lowering the price.

 

[komplanen]

Makes sense with the AMD X200 benchmarks being what they are. I bought my GTX780 three weeks ago and love it. Don't really mind about the price drop but good for whoever is in the market for one.

 

[Osiris]

Cutting the price, sure.

Slashing? - Nah.

 

[OminoMichelin]

Still much higher than the competion across the board, at least here in italy.

 

[cripterion]

Good stuff! I'm still holding on to my asus 670 sli, I doubt trading those for a single 780 would be beneficial.

 

[Drazgul]

Some of the 780 price cuts are over £100, which is pretty significant: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18552568

German € prices seem to indicate similar price drops, so at least for europeans this is a big discount.


290 might still turn out to be the best bang for the buck, so to speak, but at least Nvidia's trying now.

 

[AstroZombie]

$299 would be the sweet spot for the 770.

 

[LiK]

Damn, was hoping it would be lower.

 

[Seanspeed]

Good start. Could see them cutting prices further, depending on how the sales go.

 

[flying dutchman]

Do people think this is the point where AMD overtake Nvidia in the GPU market? Price per tflop they are killing them.

 

[cobragt4001]

Nope, it wouldn't. Two 670s are faster than a 780 since your setup is close to a 690.

 

[Nokterian]

When i read or hear about slashing prices..i think about Simon Skinner.

" A slasher... of prices! I'm Simon Skinner"

 

[Newline]

So the 770 Asus DCU2 now costs the same as the R9 280x Asus DCU2 in the UK. Well this changes everything, Nvidia here I come baby!

 

[Rustafur]

Since when is a 4% price drop "slashing"? Maybe just stick to the original post titles next time?

Well, the 770 is dropping 12.5%.

 

[TheThunder]

770 is still overpriced by at least $50.

Gotta charge that green tax I guess.

Damn.

£260 for a 770. £300 for a 770 4GB or a MSI Lightning 2GB.

780 as low as £420.

That's pretty competitive, I think.

 

[Wynnebeck]

That's a considerable chunk of change. To those who came before, hows it feel to eat that $100 mark up?

Lol I came in here excited and left disappointed.

 

[Kydd BlaZe]

Damn...I just spent $660 on my 780 in July. Should've waited, lol.

 

[elyetis]

Waiting Maxwell to upgrade from my 570 SLI is getting harder... ShadowPlay + price cut.... must resist.

Nvidia thinks their software ecosystem is worth that much. I happen to agree, actually -- the value of a GPU doesn't derive only from FPS.

I also have 570SLI, believe me.. maxwell will be worth the wait (especially performance-wise).

 

[RibbedHero]

Still overpriced compared to what the 290X offers but at least we can see the free market at work.

 

[Durante]

In Germany, the 780 is now €60 cheaper than the 290x.

 

[zainetor]

finally.

 

[Slackbladder]

I got my 780 for £529 in July. Now I can get it for easily £100 less.

 

[fatgamecat]

Make way for the 780 Ti!

As a self admitted Nvidia fanboy, I don't mind paying the green tax.

 

[chickdigger802]

So safe to say 780 ti gonna be around 650?


Is there any reason to buy atm? What kind of performance gains can be expected out of maxwell?

 

[Nethaniah]

I can get a 780 in holland about 430 euro's now, that's good pretty good.

Edit: 30 euro's cheaper cause i forgot to put the filter to lowest price.

 

[Nokterian]

That is indeed good value.

Yeah, didn't read far enough down the post. Whops.

Speaking from the mobile side of things, I have to agree.

Give me a £50-100 premium for an Nvidia GPU any day purely for the more regular (and consistent) drivers and less hassle. I mean, don't get me wrong - mobile GPUs are still a sh*t show for the most part but it's very much the lesser of two evils here.

Also, the G-Sync announcement sold me on Nvidia cards until AMD offers a similar solution. Really hoping laptops will start incorporating that to the display by the end of next year.

Which shop? I mainly use Azerty or 4Launch and the cheapest ones they have are about €550.

 

[Nethaniah]

Guess both sides of the fence are pretty happy now, great time to get either brand of cards.

I used the tweakers.net pricewatch thing to see if any prices had changed and it seems Afuture is the quickest to do so.

I've had no issues with Afuture, bought 2 gtx 580's and a monitor from them throughout the years.

Afuture has various GTX780 around 440. Use tweakers price watch to compare prices.

Don't know, the 290x is pretty overpriced atm. The R9 280x and below are nicely priced though.

The prices in Canada are still a joke lol

Aha, should've thought about that.

I'm still waiting to see how the regular 290 will pan out, then I might start looking for something to replace my HD 6850.

 

[Nethaniah]

Don't know but you could get an ASUS one for about 30 euro's more if you're worried about the brand.

 

[Prophet Steve]

I don't think too bad, but I do not hear a whole lot about them.

I'd be happy to pay a little more for Nvidia cards, with the software situation, glad they have done this.

 

[killatopak]

AMD has done their job.

570 SLI brother here too. They still have legs for a little longer as they give performance similar to a 590, but yes, Maxwell needs to hurry up. Very interested to see if the ARM CPU makes it into the product and what it brings.

Man why do BE prices suck so much compared to the ones in holland?
The cheapest one is 580 euros here

has it already dropped there or what?

I have no experience with them. So I really wouldn't know.

It's just afuture(they ship to BE btw), they are always really quick with price announcements. The rest always follows after a while.

 

[Backfoggen]

Might get a 780, will wait to see the performance on next-gen titles.

 

[Sentenza]

Same here.
While I'm extremely glad for those price cuts (I'll have to take advantage from them, eventually) and I'm going to thank AMD for that, I would still prefer an Nvidia GPU over an AMD one even if the performance-per-dollar ratio is going to be marginally less advantageous.

Maybe prices haven't updated yet? It's only 1 store so far it seems that dropped the price.
