NVIDIA Drops GTX 256MB Prices

…To its partners. Nvidia is obviously clearing its inventory and is preparing for some new products. It still is struggling to cope with shipping the Geforce 7800 GTX 512 as it can sell it for even $750 but it just cannot get enough of them.

Internally, it decided to drop the prices of its 7800 GTX 256MB parts. Unfortunately, these price cuts will affect Nvidia partners only as we don’t think that any of them will make any drastic cuts. Nvidia was selling GTX 256MB cards for roughly $300 while it will sell the same card for $230, I guess it’s to keep them calm as they can not get any 7800 GTX 512 to sell but the demand is there.
