November 2007 Video Card Price Guide - Page 4By SharkyExtreme.com Staff November 30, 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. We failed to welcome a new card in October, but we do have one for November, as the GeForce 8600 GTS 512MB dropped $20 from $200 to $180. We did add quite a few new cards in the $100-$199 range, including the Radeon HD 2600 XT 512MB, and the very popular Radeon HD 3850 256MB. In terms of the top buys, the GeForce 8600 GT 256MB and Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB offer excellent price-performance at the $100-$120 level, while the Radeon HD 3850 256MB (if you can find one) is the top performance gaming cards at the top-end of this range.
