Default Graphics Cards coming down in Price?

Hello,

someone informed me that there are a new batch of (DirectX10?) graphics
cards coming out soon and these will affect the prices of current
cards, i.e. - make them cheaper, as the technology is slightly older

is this true?

when are these cards likely to come out?

by how much will e.g. an ATI X1950 come down by (currently retaling for
~ £120)?

Advice appreciated

thanks

It's always happening.

when are these cards likely to come out?

How long is a piece of string?

If you're not on somebody's **** list, you're not doing anything
worthwhile.

It is an ongoing process that technology gradually gets cheaper as it gets
older and is replaced by newer/better/faster stuff, but you will have to
wait and see much the X1950 gets bumped down. Nobody "knows" in advance.
