March 2007 Video Card Price Guide - Page 3By SharkyExtreme.com Staff March 29, 2007We designate the entry-level graphics market as any video card that has a street price of under $100. These cards are targeted at value-system buyers, and we usually don't find the high-performance hardware at this price range. Of course, that doesn't mean that gaming performance or features have to suffer, and only having a C-Note in your pocket is no reason to start looking in the bargain bins or scouring Ebay for refurbs. In each guide, we usually welcome a new entrant or two into the entry-level video card list, but the level of activity can change slightly from month to month. In March, a single card dropped into the entry-level chart, as the Radeon X1650 Pro 256MB shaved $6 off its price and settled in at $95. That wasn't the only activity, as several sub-$100 cards made their debuts, including the TV Wonder 550, Radeon X1600 Pro 128MB, and the GeForce 6600GT 128MB AGP version. The overall entry-level listings haven't shifted a great deal, and we're sticking with the Radeon X1650 Pro 256MB as the top buy for AMD buyers, while the GeForce 7600 GS 256MB fills that same role for NVIDIA fans.
