August 2007 Video Card Price Guide - Page 5By SharkyExtreme.com Staff August 29, 2007If the entry-level and mainstream video cards cover us to the $200 price mark, then the high-end market takes us home. Here there is really no price limit, and as long as it's a desktop 3D gaming card, then we'll do our best to fit it in. This segment really starts off with the Radeon X1900/X1950 and GeForce 7900/7950-based cards, before finishing with the top-end Radeon HD 2900 XT 512MB and GeForce 8800 GTX/Ultra 768MB cards, some of which can have price tags of $500-$600 or more. The high-end section of the video card market is usually the most active of the bunch, where pricing shoot-outs are always taking place between ATI and NVIDIA video cards, and new hotrod cards are continually joining the party. This is hardly the case in August, as price drops were few and far between, and the largest price changes turned out to be increases. A pair of new cards did make an appearance, as the Radeon X1950 XTX 512MB returned, while the intriguing Sapphire Dual X1950 Pro 1GB hit the video card chart for the first time.
