EliteBastards learned that the price of X1800 GTO boards is set to drop by US $50, taking it down to the same price point as NVIDIA's rival GeForce 7600 GT parts.

Considering that one of our major gripes regarding the X1800 GTO was its price point, which is currently somewhat above NVIDIA's competing GeForce 7600 GT parts, this is big news indeed, practically giving us parity in pricing between these two competing offerings, and thus making the Radeon X1800 GTO a far more tempting prospect for anyone looking to pick up a new video card in this price range, leaving most GeForce 7600 GT boards only able to claim better performance without anti-aliasing as an advantage over ATI's part.
