May Video Card Price Guide - Page 6By SharkyExtreme.com Staff May 28, 2004
The following chart takes all of the tracked ATI and NVIDIA cards, and incorporates it into one monster chart, that is then sorted by retail price. It's a very extensive list, which gives you all the pertinent price data, and all in one place. This is also a great way to view the data, and determine exactly where the cards stack up to each other, along with rating your budget against the gamut of available options. Video card price sorting was done previously in the high-end/mainstream/entry-level price lists, but we couldn't resist posting the entire video card selection, from top to bottom. This chart simply gives a better overall view of the video card market, and while we're not seeing anything new in terms of pricing or value, it does make the individual "value points" much more obvious. The Radeon 9800 Pro 128-MB continues to lead the market in terms of overall price-performance value, while the Radeon 9600SE gets the thumb's up for entry-level buyers. The mainstream is led by the Radeon 9800SE and GeForce FX 5900XT, while the GeForce FX 5950 Ultra is putting some pressure of the Radeon 9800 Pro 128-MB at the performance end. Anything higher is not recommended at this time, as the newest NVIDIA and ATI enthusiast cards are bound to hit like a tidal wave.
