November 2007 Video Card Price Guide - Page 5By SharkyExtreme.com Staff November 30, 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 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. We do see a lot of activity, but not all of it good, as many of the top-rated NVIDIA powerhouse cards show a higher price. The big news for November is the entry of the red-hot Radeon HD 3870 512MB card at the $250-$300 range, and sales have been brisk to say the least. This card, along with the equally-popular GeForce 8800 GT 512MB, are the obvious choices in 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.
