NVIDIA Cuts Prices on GTX 650 Ti, 650 Ti Boost & 660 Video Cards

Updated: October 7, 2013

Price drops from NVIDIA are confirmed and now some of their video card products will show a significant lower price tag. Newegg, Tiger Direct and many others should adopt these prices today. Here is the catch though; there is almost always one right? Well this time the only cards being dropped are the older 6-Series mid-level cards, hence we will see the GTX 650 Ti Boost 1GB now sell for $129.99 and the 2GB version will sell at $149.99.

This is cool and all for those on a budget or especially those folks with less than 1080p monitor as then it would really be a solid card, as is at 1080p these cards will perform fairly well at the cost of all the bells and whistles turned down a bit. They have also dropped the price on the GTX 660 to $179.99, which will play games on medium settings at 1080p really nicely. It does not seem like at the moment NVIDIA is taking AMD new cards as a threat as these price drops are all on older technology and probably just baggage to NVIDIA.

When and if we see price drops on their high-end cards start hitting the market then maybe NVIDIA will seem to take AMD’s next launch as a serious threat. NVIDIA has said that their partner companies have their blessing to sell at even lower prices than they have shared, maybe we will see a GTX 760 sell for $229.00, that would be a great start in the price war. AMD has new cards coming right around the corner and maybe if their R9 290X pans out to be the hero to the people like they have claimed we will see NVIDIA drop all their prices and make the game very interesting indeed. Thanks for reading Tech Of Tomorrow.

  the Gigabyte GTX 770 2GB was $380 about a week ago.
- merri
  
  I got my Windforce 4GB 770 at $400 including shipping. The 2GB sells pretty frequently around $370.
- Jose
  
  Seeing as the AMD R9 280x performs as well as the 770 for $300 dollars, you just might see that happen.

I just want the MSI 780 to be not over $700 because I want two of them!
RIff

I want to see a gtx 690 for $200
- Keven Brochu
  
  Good luck.
  - Jeremy Bourgeois
    
    can’t even get an old radeon 6990 for less than 350 lol
    - Nicc
      
      Here in PH, 2 months ago, 30 units of hd6990 were sold for around $270 each. It was sold out in 2 days.
      - James
        
        Yup, saw it too. They were selling it at PC HUB Gilmore. It was clearance sale.
    - The Jackal
      
      Not even a 5970…
- Bill Johnson
  
  Just wait 10 years.
  - Dick
    
    LOLOL
- Connor Orischak
  
  it will always be >$600 at least

Thanks… I guess…

In my opinion, I think all GTX 700 series GPUs must go down in price by $100 dollars. Think about it, the GTX 760 would be $250 instead of $350, GTX 770 would be $450 instead of $550, and the GTX 780 would be $650 instead of $750. It would all slot into place well and dealers would have a lot more sales. GeForce cards still expensive, and it’s already October. Between launch and now, we have not seen any prices drop.

  TROLL
- CrazyJoeDavola
  
  Don’t know where you are shopping, boss, but GTX 760′s are $250, GTX 770′s are about $410, and GTX 780′s are about $650, they have been since launch. You appear to have used the highest price you could find short of water-cooled. But as Jose said, troll.
  - The Jackal
    
    I forgot to say, i’m the unlucky one from Australia, where shit IS $100 more expensive.
    - merri
      
      At least you guys have got some decent income.
  - The Jackal
    
    Actually, in some cases it’s worse, the GTX 780 DCUII is $869 dollars. It’s fucken expensive.

AMD 7000 series is still the better deal. $200 for a 7950? Yeah I’ll take that over a gtx 660 any day.
- RGT
  
  Yea but for $60 more you can get a GTX660 Ti and save the money on the power supply. The 7950 needs at least 500 watts or more as for the GTX 660 Ti only needs 225 watts. So ask yourself, do I want to save money on a cheaper GPU that needs more watts, which is going to ask more on the power supply or buy a GPU that out performs 7950 and requires less watts.
  - Sander
    
    It is recommended to have a 500W PSU does not mean it uses 500W.
  - Jose
    
    You are comparing power consumption on a 660ti to the amount of watts it takes to run a 7950 system. If you’re building a system with a 660ti, then you’ll need at least a 450W psu so you really only have a 50W difference in psu requirements. If you get a 7950 over a 660ti, you end up getting better performance for a better price.

      BUT, you dont get:
      -Nvidia’s Drivers
      -PhysX
      -Cuda
      - Jose
        
        Only certain games use PhysX, you only need CUDA if you’re going to use certain applications, and nvidia’s drivers aren’t going to matter when you’re getting better performance out of an AMD card. Besides, AMD is getting better at providing driver support.

I’d love a GTX 780 for $599. The only thing I expect from 290X is to make Nvidia slash $50 off the price tag. Black Friday is near the corner too so It might get as low as $550. I’d snag right away in that scenario!

finally, i have been waiting for the 660 ti boost or 680 to come down in price the last nugget to go into my pc happy days
Helpful Dude

I want a TITAN for 400$ !
- Rihards Rubults
  
  you want TITANS with GNOME price
  - Helpful Dude
    
    I see what you did there :D. (I am from Latvia aswell, you seem to have a Latvian name/surname )
Helpful Dude

I JUST WANT A 560 TI for 45$ ! :D:D:D. I would put them in SLI and have much of fun ;3
PC Guy

760 for $229? Not a big deal, with a bit of searching you can find a 7950 for less which outperforms it, not to mention overclocking.
Patrick Bateman

give me a 780 for $499
Gabriel Fernandes

Nvidia cut the price on US and on Brazil the price remains the same =/
