August Video Card Price Guide - Page 4

By SharkyExtreme.com Staff August 9, 2005

Mainstream Video Cards

Our definition of mainstream video cards encompasses the $100-$199 price range, and is really where you'll get the most bang for your buck. This is where you will find the latest mainstream video cards, like the Radeon X700 Pro and GeForce 6600 and 6600GT, along with a few higher-end products that have been replaced at the top of the food chain, and have then dropped in price.

The mainstream video card list is usually where we see a few noticeable price drops mixed in with a few high-end cards dropping below the $200 mark and entering the mainstream market. There are a few price cuts to be found, with the largest resulting in the only high-end card entering the mainstream chart. The ATI All-in-Wonder Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB fell by $39 and for the multimedia user, this is a killer product that can still pump out the framerates. The overall rankings haven't changed, and the GeForce 6600GT 128MB remains the best overall value for both AGP and PCIe systems, while the GeForce 6800LE and Radeon X800 128MB cards are the top choices for mainstream performance.
