AMD to cut video card prices by up to $50 next month?

According to rumors, AMD is going to cut prices on the existing 4800 series graphics cards this next month. This makes sense as they are supposedly getting their next generation gpu ready and should be available by the end of the summer. So the price drop should help them clear out inventory.

The good news for us consumers is that awesome cards like the HD 4890 could drop from it’s retail price of $249 to $199. Throw in rebates that always seem to be rampant and you could see them for under $175 which is great deal. This price drop should also drop the HD 4850 to under $100 which is also a great card for a mainstream gaming computer and even better if you get 2 to crossfire..
