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 for AGP cards really boils down to the Radeon 9600-based line, with the Radeon 9600SE 128MB providing exceptional value, while the Radeon 9600XT 128MB is the best performance bet. Things are actually better on the PCI Express side, where the ATI X600 Pro 128MB and GeForce 6600 128MB cards offer exceptional entry-level gaming performance.

The mainstream video card market continues to be one dominated by the GeForce 6600GT PCI Express and AGP cards, although the new, lower-priced GeForce 6800 128MB boards do provide some interesting competition. The ATI X700 Pro 128MB remains an exceptional value choice, while the ATI Radeon X800 128MB is a real performance beast for the money. Our overall pick for the high-end remains the ATI All-in-Wonder Radeon X800 XT 256MB, which not only features a ton of multimedia extras and TV-tuner, but also received a very nice price cut and is actually priced lower than many basic X800 XT 256-MB boards. As for enthusiast gamers, the GeForce 7800 GT and GTX 256MB cards really hold all the cards, and there is nothing else that can give you the same price-performance ratio.
