Nvidia to crash AMD HD6k launch with a GT 430?

This sure is a funny world. We have already received rumour that AMD will be launching its Radeon HD 6000 series AMD Technical Forum and Exhibition 2010 in Taiwan on October 19, but word is that it won’t be the only new GPU on the block. There’s another rumour that the green monster might crash the party.

Digitimes reports that Nvidia also has a launch planned for that very same day. Nvidia is planning to launch the new entry-level GeForce GT 430, based on the GF108, on October 19. Along with that comes a price drop of the GeForce GTX 460 768MB to go up against the new Radeon HD “Barts” mid-range products.

While the launch of a low-end GeForce GT 430 GPU won’t do much to threaten the much faster “Barts Simpson” line, the lure of an even more competitively priced GF104 could drizzle a little bit on the AMD’s parade. Sorry Nvidia, but I’m more interested in what the dark side has to offer this time.
