NVIDIA to release two new sub 250 USD products

AMD has announced its latest GPUs, the Radeon R9 and R7 series (Volcanic Islands), priced between US$89-299 and the GPUs are expected to bring pressure on Nvidia to offer price cuts in late November and release 1-2 new GPUs to defend the US$149-249 segment, according to sources from graphics card players.

The new Radeon R9 and R7 series GPUs adopt a 28nm process from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). With the GPUs' competitive pricing, Matt Skynner, corporate vice president and general manager of AMD's Graphics Business Unit, believes the company has a chance to regain 50% share in the graphics card market.

The R7 250 is priced below US$89, the R7 260X is US$139, the R9 270X US$199 and the R9 280X US$299. The highest-end R9 290X is also expected to be at a competitive price point.

They say competition is good for the consumer. If this holds to be true for graphics cards then may amd and nvidia have all the "price point rivalry" under the sun. Competitively of course.
