December 2008 Video Card Price Guide - Page 5By SharkyExtreme.com Staff January 1, 2008If 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/1GB and GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB and GTX/Ultra 768MB cards, some of which can have price tags of $400-$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 pricing activity certainly played along, as this range features some of the deepest price drops and largest price spikes. There were also a pile of new high-end members, including the Radeon HD 3850 512MB, GeForce 8800 GT 256MB, Radeon HD 2900 Pro 1GB, and GeForce 8800 GTS (G92) 512MB video cards. The GeForce 8800 GTS (G92) 512MB is an especially popular model for enthusiast gamers, being built on the 65nm process and at a very attractive price point.
