After the recent launch of NVIDIA’s GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti cards, AMD has fired back. Not with new cards (although that may be coming too…), but with a couple of price cuts on their RX 470 and RX 460 product lines. In addition to this, AMD has been sending out media packs showing what they say makes its GPUs better choices than NVIDIA’s.
Pricing of the Radeon RX 470 4 GB is cut down to US$159.99, from its US$169.99 launch price. This puts the 470 just US$20 above the GTX 1050 Ti. AMD claims that for US$20 more than the GTX 1050 Ti, you get double the memory bandwidth and the higher performance that comes along with that. The MSRP of the Radeon RX 460 2 GB is cut down to US$99.99, from US$109.99, making it US$10 cheaper than the GTX 1050 (non-Ti). The GeForce GTX 1050 series goes on sale from the 25th October, 2016.

Will NVIDIA fire back with a price drop of their own? Will this affect actual retail prices of the cards? Share your thoughts in the forum.
