We're sure this will come as a surprise to no one, but with AMD's Radeon HD 6800 series debuting on Friday, NVIDIA has taken its stance by lowering the prices on both its GeForce GTX 460 and GTX 470 graphics cards. On the GTX 460 side of things, the cost of the 1GB models will now match the 768MB models, while the GTX 470 will drop down closer to the HD 6870's rumored price.

But if the new AMD cards MURDER Nvidia's 400 series what then? Will Nvidia say $20 more for our card(s) and 10-15% less performance? I cant wait for 6k series benches
