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 can be separated by the card interfaces, with the Radeon 9600SE 128MB (value) and Radeon 9800SE 128MB (performance) offering a lot of bang for the AGP buck. PCI Express buyers will get good value out of the NVIDIA GeForce PCX 5750, while the newly-anointed NVIDIA GeForce PCX 5900 128MB "value" card will provide incredible entry-level performance.

The mainstream video card market continues to be dominated by the GeForce 6600GT PCI Express and AGP cards, which offer an absolutely killer price-performance ratio. ATI has contenders that fall at lower and higher ends of the scale, but neither the Radeon X700 Pro nor the ATI Radeon X800 128MB can hit that perfect mix. Our pick for the high-end is the ATI All-in-Wonder Radeon X800 XT 256MB, which features a ton of multimedia extras, yet is priced on par with many standard Radeon X800 XT 256MB cards. The enthusiast buyers should be zoning in on the GeForce 7800 GTX 256MB this month, as significant price drops have made it the card to have in this segment.
