September Video Card Price Guide - Page 5By SharkyExtreme.com Staff September 28, 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. There were a few price drops of note, and we did welcome back a few GeForce 8800 and Radeon X1950-based cards to the club, along with adding some new "professional" Fire GL and Quadro FX graphics cards. Our top high-end picks include the GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB for value buyers, while performance users will want to check out the Radeon HD 2900 XT 1GB and GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB cards.
