October 2007 Video Card Price Guide - Page 4By SharkyExtreme.com Staff October 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 chart. Although we didn't welcome a new member in either August or September, October did see the GeForce 7950 GT 512MB card take $61 off its retail price and fall to $195. Other than a few new entrants like the Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB AGP, that was it as far as new blood in the mainstream market. In terms of the best buys, the GeForce 8600 GT 256MB and Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB offer excellent price-performance at the $100-$120 level, while the Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB, GeForce 8600 GTS 256MB and GeForce 7950 GT 256MB are the top performance gaming cards at the higher price range.
