August Video Card Price Guide - Page 7By SharkyExtreme.com Staff August 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. The overall price chart gives another view of the video card market, and while we don't see anything new in terms of pricing or value, it does make the individual "value points" much more obvious. The Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB continues to be an excellent value, and in terms of mainstream performance, is only challenged by the popular GeForce FX 5900XT. The value segment is owned by the Radeon 9600SE, but the new lower price of the GeForce FX 5700LE makes for an interesting comparison. On the high-end side of things, the GeForce 6800 128MB cards are looking fine, with a few even dropping below the $280 mark. The GeForce 6800GT cards also compare quite well in price-performance, and shave a good $100 (or more) off the price of a comparable Radeon X800 XT or GeForce 6800 Ultra.
