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 is where ATI continues to perform well, with both the Radeon 9600XT 128MB and Radeon 9800SE 128MB cards holding court. We switch gears for the PCI Express side, where the NVIDIA cards take over, and the GeForce 6600 128MB and 256MB models offer a superb value.

The GeForce 6600GT PCI Express and AGP cards offer an exceptional mainstream value, and are priced extremely well, but for those willing to spend a bit more, the GeForce 6800 GS 256MB and Radeon X800 XL 256MB are a couple of new mainstream entrants that we've been waiting to drop below the $20 mark. For high-end AGP buyers, the All-in-Wonder Radeon X800 XT 256MB continues to be an exceptional buy, but now NVIDIA has a great contender with the GeForce 7800 GS 256MB AGP. At the enthusiast level, PCI Express is king, and although the Radeon X1900 XTX is the new performance leader, the GeForce 7800 GT and GTX 256MB cards continue to offer lower price points and higher overall value.
