Nvidia lowers prices for GeForce GTX 460 and GTX 470

Nvidia on October 21 announced price cuts for three GeForce GTX 460 GPUs of 12.6-15.1%, and for 470 chips of 25.8%, according to Taiwan-based card makers.

The price reduction is to cope with potential competition from Radeon HD 6000-series cards to be launched by AMD on October 22, the sources analyzed.

The launch would be today and the price drop is real. (don't believe us, check Newegg and/or Tiger Direct).  The average price drop is between 15 and 25% making the cards extremely attractive from a purchase standpoint.

I have not checked to see if the price drop extends to Overclocked and Super Overclocked cards but there is no reason to think otherwise.
