June 2004 Video Card Price Guide - Page 6By SharkyExtreme.com Staff June 30, 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 is again a top buy for high-end gamers who still keep an eye on their budget. The mainstream market is once again the domain of the GeForce FX 5900XT and Radeon 9700 Pro, while entry-level buyers should flock to the Radeon 9600SE cards. The ultra high-end is shaping up quite well, with special attention to the sub-$300 GeForce 6800 128-MB, and exactly how the X800 Pro will affect the long-term price of the Radeon 9800 XT.
