March Video Card Price Guide - Page 5By SharkyExtreme.com Staff March 31, 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, Radeon HD 3870 X2 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. We certainly have a ton of price drops this month, but we also lost four members to the mainstream chart, and added only one - the powerful GeForce 9800 GX2 1GB. The top performance options are a bit more interesting, as the ATI fans will gravitate towards the dual-GPU Radeon HD 3870 X2 1GB, while NVIDIA enthusiasts have more choice, and can either choose the GeForce 8800 GTS (G92) 512MB and save some cash, or go all out with the powerful GeForce 9800 GX2 1GB.
