February Video Card Price Guide - Page 4By SharkyExtreme.com Staff February 28, 2008Our 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. It's been slim pickings for $200+ cards dropping down into the list, and February was no better, registering yet another goose egg. We did get a couple of new members, in the form of the Radeon HD 3650 512MB GDDR3 and GeForce 9600 GT 512MB cards. This last one is a very interesting mainstream option, as it competes very well against the impressive Radeon HD 3850 256MB and 512MB cards, and essentially provides a bridge between the GeForce 8600 and 8800-based cards.
