September Video Card Price Guide - Page 7By SharkyExtreme.com Staff September 29, 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 value market is literally owned by the popular and surprisingly-powerful Radeon 9600SE, while the GeForce FX 5700LE makes a good run for the top-end of that bracket. The Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB is potentially the top overall value, and is only challenged by the popular GeForce FX 5900XT and new GeForce 6600 for mainstream gaming value. The value segment is owned by the Radeon 9600SE, but the new lower price of the GeForce FX 5700LE makes for an interesting comparison. At the high-end of the scale, the GeForce 6800 128MB cards offer a lot of bang for the buck, but it's the GeForce 6800GT that gives us the top price-performance ratio.
