Sapphire Radeon HD 2400XT and 2600XT pricing announced

Radeon_hd_2400 More than two months after Nvidia got its mid range cards out of the door, AMD has finally followed suit. The prices are much lower than we expected:

The Radeon HD 2600XT 256MB DDR3 clocks in at £70, which is comparable in performance to the Geforce 8600GT, but actually a little cheaper.

The 2600Pro 256MB DDR2 is £59. The 2400XT 256MB DDR3, which is a significant step down in performance, costs £49 and the 2400Pro 256MB DDR2 costs £32, which looks like an absolute steal for a DirectX 10 card.

All prices include Vat and HDMI dongles are included with the 2600s but not the 2400s.

No word from any vendor on the dual-chip 2600XT that will have two GPUs. It's called the Radeon HD 2600 XT Gemini and AMD claims it will compete with the 8600GTS. AMD suggests a price of $189-249, just $40 more than the single core 2600XT.
