June Video Card Price Guide - Page 4

By SharkyExtreme.com Staff June 27, 2006

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 X1600 Pro/XT, Radeon X800 GTO, and GeForce 6600 GT & 7600 GT, along with a few higher-end products that have been replaced at the top of the food chain (like the Radeon X800/X850), and have then dropped in price.

The mainstream video card list is usually where we see a few noticeable price drops mixed in with some high-end cards dropping below the $200 mark and entering the mainstream market. There were a few significant price cuts in the mainstream listings this month, and overall prices are being driven down at the low and mid-range of the chart. This activity affected mostly the Radeon X700 and X1600 level, as well as some GeForce 6600GT models as well. Unfortunately, none of the high-end cards fell below the $200 mark, and there is a disturbing gap between the $183 Biostar GeForce 7600 GT 256MB and the $200 high-end baseline.
