haha that would be really nice BUT we all know it wont happen til later this year, amd and nividia probly have a deal limiting price cuts so they both make a premium off their 680/7xxx cards we will have to wait a while to see price cuts

Actually, this is true. Story and prices are also on the front page of http://www.techpowerup.com/ as well.

That would be called price fixing. It would also be illegal.

Because that's stopped them in the past. The entire bloody tech industry is probably guilty of price fixing.

The AMD 7880, if not a typo, was probably a good giveaway. Nonetheless, I looked...

It's actually on every page, the first time you go to it in a browser session. If you hit refresh it goes away.

Interesting,

The gtx680 's price is. Lol same as 7970,

Let's see if it will go higher then 7970

Laugh but they'd sell a crap load more with your joke prices. I get vibe ppl are waiting for nV before deciding on an upgrade at everything below top shelf. Those ppl don't give a crap about price/performance they buy the best understanding premium has to be paid but for vast majority of users we do and $250 is the sweet spot. Nothing AMD has is worth it currently. The gall of giving same performance for same price a year later, i'm talking 7850 vs 6950 or 7870 vs 6970 here, is just a ridiculous April fools joke running for a month now.
