February 2007 Video Card Price Guide - Page 4By SharkyExtreme.com Staff March 1, 2007Our 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, Radeon X180 GTO, and GeForce 6600 GT, 6800 GS & 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 falling below the $200 mark and entering the mainstream market. The end of 2006 showed off a bumper crop of new video card entrants, but January failed to yield even a single mainstream card slipping under the $200 radar. It's the same story in February, and the mainstream video card list remains virtually consistent, with only the debut of the Radeon X1650 XT 256MB to spice things up. At the low-end of this price range we have the impressive Radeon X1650 XT 256MB and GeForce 7600 GT 256MB cards, while the Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB and GeForce 7900 GS 256MB boards are great bets for the higher-performance crowd.
