July 2007 Video Card Price Guide - Page 4By SharkyExtreme.com Staff July 31, 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. July was a sedate month, and only a single high-end card made the journey below the $200 mark, and the GeForce 7950 GT 256MB (AGP) had to shed $66 to make it. Otherwise, it was business as usual, but over the past few months, the mass exodus of mainstream cards to the entry-level has really affected this section. In terms of top buys, the GeForce 8600 GT 256MB and Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB are the best low-cost values, while the Radeon X1950 XT 256MB and GeForce 8600 GTS 256MB continue to be the top gaming card options.
