October 2007 Video Card Price Guide - Page 5

High-End Video Cards

If 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 video card chart 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. The big news at the high-end section of the video card market is the entry of the ultra-hot GeForce 8800 GT 512MB card, which has turned the sub-$300 sector on its head. This is obviously our choice for the $200-$300 price range, while performance users will want to check out the Radeon HD 2900 XT 1GB and GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB cards.
