Cheaper GeForce GTS 250 Cards Available On March 3rd

From March 3rd onwards, GeForce 9800 GTX+ will officially be rebranded as GeForce GTS 250. The specs remains the same as the 9800GTX+ but some AIC makers are planning to market those cards as a whole new product with a new cooler.

Nvidia will be slashing the G92 based GTS 250 GPUs pricing by at least US$20 for their partners so we can expect the GTS 250 cards to be about US$20 cheaper than the current 9800 GTX+ cards.

Right now, the e-tailers are selling the 9800GTX+ and HD 4850 cards at about US$150 so we can expect the new GTS250 cards to be priced at about US$130. Nvidia plans to fight the HD 4850 in terms of price and most probably, AMD will react by reducing price too.
