ATI and NVIDIA Video Cards: Full List

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 entry-level market is still where the low-priced Radeon 9600SE offers significant value and the Radeon X600 Pro 128MB finally gives us an ATI performance card in this segment, but we can't ignore either the GeForce FX 5700LE AGP or GeForce PCX 5750 PCIe NVIDIA options.

The mainstream sector is still mostly a one-horse race, with the GeForce 6600GT PCI Express and AGP boards holding court in the sub-$200 market. On the ATI side, we have both the Radeon 9800 Pro 128-MB AGP (sporting a new lower price), and the Radeon X700 Pro 256MB offering a compelling PCI Express alternative. The All-in-Wonder Radeon 9700 Pro 128MB is a value-packed mainstream option, as the 3D portion can still keep pace, while the video and cable-TV features are a treat. The high-end market is still the toughest one to gauge, but we feel the GeForce 6800GT 256MB offers the best bang for our gaming buck, especially now that SLI has become so prevalent. The ATI Radeon X800 XT 256MB is extremely close in terms of price-performance, and with consistent price cuts, this graphics card continues to gain ground. The All-in-Wonder Radeon X800 XT 256MB is a real steal, especially with a price tag actually lower than some standard X800 XT cards.
