March 2007 Video Card Price Guide - Page 4By SharkyExtreme.com Staff March 29, 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. We've started to notice that this market, due to the lack of any mainstream DirectX 10 cards, simply doesn't have the numbers it used to. The new entrants mirror this trend, and only the GeForce 7800 GS 256MB AGP dropped enough (-$20) to fall under the $200 barrier. At the low-end of this price range, the Radeon X1650 XT 256MB, Radeon X1900 GT 256MB and GeForce 7600 GT 256MB cards offer impressive price-performance ratios, while the Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB and GeForce 7900 GS 256MB boards offer the top performance options in the range.
