As I and many expected the prices have finnaly dropped, The GTX 780 went from 650$ to 500$, what do you guys think of this, could it be the fast reaction from the ps4 thing ??, I guess it was always because of consoles, since the numbers of pc purchases have seriously dropped this year ???. now AMD will be forced to do the same, or go for a better price efficiency ?

Pricing of AMD Radeon HD 7700, 7800 Graphics Cards Keeps Dropping Advanced Micro Devices on Thursday informed about reduced prices of its mainstream and performance-mainstream graphics cards. The company and its partners continue to lower pricing in a bid to better compete against Nvidia Corp.'s growing lineup of Kepler-architecture GeForce 600-series graphics cards. Starting today, AMD Radeon HD 7850 1GB costs $159 (after rebate), whereas the 2GB version carries $189 official price-tag. The AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition graphics board now has manufacturer suggested retail price of $119. AMD and its partners specifically reduced price of sub-$200 graphics boards to improve positions in the most popular segment of graphics boards. "With the holiday gaming season around the corner, we would like to share with you the exceptional value and performance that gamers can realize with AMD graphics this season for under $200. The 2012 holiday season will be outstanding for AMD Radeon gamers," a statement by AMD reads. The AMD Radeon HD 7700-, 7800- and 7900-series graphics cards support all the advantages that the graphics core next (GCN) architecture has to offer, including support for DirectX 11.1, OpenCL 1.2, PCI Express 3.0, AMD Eyefinity 2.0, ultra high-definition output support using DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 1.4a, optimized power consumption, integrated 7.1 audio controller, stereo-3D/Blu-ray 3D support, and other new technologies. source -
While this move could hurt AMD's bottom line, there is only good news for gamers looking to upgrade their system with a new (or another) GPU from AMD. With the release of NVIDIA's GTX 660 Ti at a price close to that of the HD 7870 and performance closer to an HD 7950, AMD has once again cut the pricing of their cards. The price cuts should kick in by the end of the week, so hold off purchasing those cards for another week to benefit from the new pricing and to give NVIDIA a chance to respond as well. source

Intel is chalking out a wide range of price cuts for its consumer SSD families, which will likely take effect in August. The updated pricing will see prices go down by as much as 37 percent. Prices of several models in the SSD 320, SSD 330, and SSD 520 series, are on the chopping block. Reliable sources told VR-Zone that Intel is chalking out a wide range of price cuts for its consumer SSD families, which will likely take effect in August. The updated pricing will see prices go down by as much as 37 percent. Prices of several models in the SSD 320, SSD 330, and SSD 520 families, are on the chopping block. To begin with, prices of most lower-capacity models of the SSD 320 series remain untouched. It's the 300 GB and 600 GB models that Intel is after. Given its mainsteam performance, buyers need a bigger incentive to buy higher capacity SSD 320 drives. Each of the two are available in four packages, spanning two form-factors: 2.5-inch 9.5 mm-thick, and 2.5-inch 7 mm-thick. The OEM price (in multi-unit quantity) of the SSD 320 300 GB is slated to go down from US $499 to $444, a 11% cut. The retail package (off-shelf) of the drive is expected to go down from $519 to $464. The SSD 320 600 GB, on the other hand, will see its OEM price drop from $1,039 to $859; and retail price from $1,059 down to $879. The business end of these price cuts focus on SSD 520 series, the performance-segment consumer SSD family from Intel. Most popular capacity variants, such as 60 GB, 180 GB, 240 GB, and 480 GB, are slated for price-cuts: SSD 520 60 GB: OEM price down from $99 to $89; Reseller pack down from $109 to $99 (9% cut) SSD 520 120 GB: OEM price down from $179 to $129; Reseller pack down from $189 to $139 (26.4% cut) SSD 520 180 GB: OEM price down from $269 to $189; Reseller pack down from $279 to $199 (28.6% cut) SSD 520 240 GB: OEM price down from $339 to $249; Reseller pack down from $349 to $259 (25.8% cut) SSD 520 480 GB: OEM price down from $799 to $494; Reseller pack down from $809 to $594 (37.7% cut) Prices of Intel's newest mainstream SSD line, the SSD 330 series, are also boud for cuts. In fact the most interesting pack of cuts target this series: SSD 330 60 GB: Reseller pack price down from $94 to $69 (26.5% cut) SSD 330 120 GB: Reseller pack price down from $149 to $104 (30.2% cut) SSD 330 180 GB: Reseller pack price down from $234 to $154 (34.1% cut) In all, Intel is making an effort to capture large swathes of the market with these prices, to compete with other players in the consumer SSD market. Many of these prices are already in effect with competitors' SSDs, respective to the capacities, in markets such as the US. All prices mentioned above are in USD, excluding taxes, and the OEM prices are price-per-unit in multi-unit quantities. source

SSD prices in steady, substantial decline On all too many occasions, we've bemoaned the state of hard drive prices. They rose sharply after last year's Thailand flooding and still haven't returned to what many of us would consider normal. There is good news on the storage front, though. The current generation of solid-state drives is cheaper than ever, with multiple models living comfortably below the dollar-per-gigabyte threshold. To get a better sense of the SSD picture, we've analyzed a mountain of pricing information dating from early 2011 to Tuesday. The folks at Camelegg graciously provided the data, which we've sliced, diced, and compiled in pretty graphs. Camelegg tracks prices at Newegg, which should give us a good sense of what's going on in the overall market. Originally, I had hoped to combine a stack of SSDs in one massive graph. Turns out that was completely unreadable. With most drive makers competing aggressively on price, there was far too much overlap. Instead, we'll tackle the most popular drives one by one. To make comparisons a little easier, all of the graphs stick to the same scale. The selection has been limited to include only the SSDs we've reviewed. In most cases, we've looked at the price of three capacities. source
