September Video Card Price Guide - Page 4

Mainstream Video Cards

Our 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 chart. September mirrored the uneventful August, and not a single card dropped down from the $200 and above high-end chart. We did have a few new members enter (or re-enter) the chart, including the Radeon X1950 GT 256MB and GeForce 7600 GT 256MB AGP cards, but that was it for any real news. In terms of the best mainstream buys, the GeForce 8600 GT 256MB and Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB offer excellent values, while the Radeon X1950 XT 256MB, GeForce 8600 GTS 256MB and GeForce 7950 GT 256MB are the top performance gaming card options.
