Nvidia to Release GT 430 to Rain on AMD Launch?

[Mousemonkey]

I will switch back one day, but I'm making NVIDIA learn their damn lesson.

I bet they are really hurting because of you not buying a card from them! :lol:

Fermi hasnt been scaling very well, and not in a SLI sense. The more they take away, it gets worse than it should be getting worse. The GTS 450 is fairly underpowered from the GTX 460. Id imagine they more the strip away, the worse it will get, and the GT430 will be even more underpowered. I dont really see the market though. If you dont need graphics that bad, your probably sticking with IGP. The lowest i can see going is the 56xx series. Even thats stretching it. Also, they are just going for market share now. The GTX 460 is suppose to cost about the same as a 5870 to produce, maybe 10 bucks less, and look how much they are selling it for. They must be breaking even at best, or maybe even losing money. If they take it down another 20$, then they will have some problems. AMD cards are generally cheaper to make, just how it works. Nvidia goes big, AMD goes small. So if AMD wanted to, they could sell 67xx for a very low cost and still make more money. Atleast it is very likely. Now Nvidia is starting this 1 big release every 2 years, and a refresh in between, like Intel, so now they might even get more behind, but hopefully catch up by the end of 2011, atleast for competitions sake. This 6xxx series looks like it should be quite the upgrade for those who stayed with 2xx, or 4xxx, like myself.

So, they want to counter the 6700 by releasing a 5670 competitor? Well, if the GT430 sucks then it's not a bad time to release it since negative press would be drowned out 6700. If the GT430 is any good though then that's just stupidity by nVidia.

What I would prefer to see over a 6000 Launch is ATI's CF scale better. Although, I'll probably still buy something when it comes out...maybe 2...yea, I have a problem, so what? lol

 

[ram1009]

I wouldn't use another AMD/ATI board if they gave it to me.

Nvidia is planning to launch the new entry-level GeForce GT 430

Better call it a delayed entry level. I don't know what it is going to be anyway because with AMD's new entry level of 6000 series, GT430 might suck.

[citation][nom]alidan[/nom]the 28nm line will be the 7xxx, the 6xxx line is incorporating things for the 28nm process while using the 45.[/citation]
Excuse me! It is 40nm not 45.

Keep sleeping dude!

 

[adonn78]

How does releasing an entry level chip rain on the parade of a competitor releasing their brand new next get flagship products? That's just sad. Tell me Nvidia is coming out with something 30% faster than a 480 and then its raining on their parade.

"Rumor has it that AMD will be launching its Radeon HD 6000 series AMD Technical Forum and Exhibition 2010 in Taiwan on October 19"

Is there a grammatical error or is there really such an event as "AMD Technical Forum" ?

 

[mhelm1]

It won't drizzel or even mist the parade. AMD is showing the hottest model and Nvidia shows Kate of kate plus eight. Gee who do I want to look at.

 

[jgiron]

awesome!
Just in time for Black Friday!

 

[dman3k]

If the 6770 will sell under $200 (and the leaked specs are true), then Nvidia should probably make the 460 like $120 to compete. And the 430 should be like $90.

Kind of like bringing a knife to a gunfight.

You know it baby! I have a mass leadership over others that I control

 

[HavoCnMe]

Someone tell me what lower-end card they need??? If you need a lower-end card look in the $100-$200 range on newegg, and if that is too high-end buy a P.O.S $50-$100 videocard solution. I really hate marketing politics.

 

[SteelCity1981]

The more competition the better it is for the consumors!

 

[hannibal]

Well it is good that Nvidia is getting its portfolio together. If these are any good we get competition in DX11 scene allso in low end and if these cards are really good, we can get some upper end ferny upgrades later.
Two good card in every gategory is allways better than one!

Competition is good to all fanboys and bang for the buck fellows... well maybe not to extreme fanboys... they seems to allways hope totall annihilation of opponent, but even them are eager to see better and better GPUs.

 

[apocalypseap]

I won't believe any chart until AMD confirms that it's real.

[citation][nom]Zingam[/nom]Higher numbers - lower performance.ATI releases high end cards but NVIDIA counters them with a low end offering.I don't know - the articles is stupid or... Anyway itt's comical.[/citation]

LOL agreed. The article could've easily been titled "Intel releases new series of integrated graphics to rain on AMD's parade" and I would think the exact same thing as you.

 

[noveloa]

While the launch of a low-end GeForce GT 430 GPU won't do much to threaten the much faster Barts line, the lure of an even more competitively priced GF104 could drizzle a little bit on the AMD's parade.

They just did it for the lulz...

 

[OvrClkr]

I doubt the 430 will do much harm, the 460 was put against AMD's 5770 and 5850 and it did the job well (the 465/470/480 are not attractive options ATM). If NV want's to "Rain" they will need something comparable to the top end AMD cards, not the low end ones.

The more competition, the better it is for us. Keep them cards coming.

ATi fanbois must mostly be Canadian frogs.

 

[jasonpwns]

[citation][nom]Darkerson[/nom]I seriously doubt either of those card are gonna rain on AMD's parade. What are we gonna hear next? Nvidia renaming half their current 4XX series to 5xx so they can trick people into thinking they having something "new" to compete against AMD's new offerings? It wouldnt surprise me one bit, I mean seriously, how many times was the 8800 renamed before they finally made something truly new?[/citation]

Didn't help that for a little while Nvidia had better cards than ATI so all they had to do was rename them. They had no real competition but now they need to do something because they got competition.
