And make a price cut on the 970/980 to counter the 480 is one of the possibilities that I mentioned in my other post. And doing that with the 960 wouldn't be as effective as it's already a ˜200 € card (4GB variant) and would be a lot slower than the 480. Only the 970/980 would work against the 480.

 

Well, IF Nvidia is slashing the 970 prices to temporarily counter the 480 until the 1060 arrives, they naturally also have to lower the price of the 960, perhaps even the 950 price. The retail stores will want to get rid of these models until the 1060 and 1050 launch in August and/or September.

I'm sure the 970/980 will go down in price, at least until they go EOL and price goes up again.

As I said, the 960 and 950 won't have don't need to have any impact on the 480 as their performance (in theory) is too far appart, but also because AMD will have other cards in those price points. After all, AMD won't launch just one new card, and since the RX 480 will the best of their new cards, those 960 and 950 will face whatever the 470 and maybe 460 have to offer.

Of course, there's the internet theory that AMD has a hidden, more powerful, card to compete with the 1070 because of the 36CU (and not 40) and because Lisa Su mentioned that they would have new cards from the $100 to $300 price range, but in my opinion that's just BS.

Oh, and one of those Nvidia chips can be the one of this rumor: http://videocardz.com/60935/geforce-gtx-1070-in-notebooks-nvidia-pg611-board-spotted-gp102-400-gpu-confirmed
