We just received direct word from AMD Public Relations Manager Jay Marsden that price drops are going into effect for select cards in the Radeon 4800 series. Check it:
- MSI Radeon HD 4850: $124.99 after $30 MIR
- PowerColor Radeon HD 4870 512MB: $149 after $20 MIR
- MSI Radeon HD 4870 1GB: $199 after $25 MIR
On a more speculative note, it’s entirely plausible that other manufacturers are going to quickly follow suit to compete. We may even see some of these manufacturers drop it like it’s hot in the form of instant rebates. Word is that Newegg already has some of the price changes in effect, so take a gander and brandish those credit cards.
