June Video Card Price Guide - Page 4By SharkyExtreme.com Staff June 30, 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. Although we did have some price cuts at the range, these didn't drop any high-end cards below the $200 mark, and only shuffled up the mainstream selection a bit. The big news was the debut of the powerful Radeon HD 4850 512MB at $195, which makes it the obvious choice for performance users, but the Radeon HD 3850 1GB, GeForce 8800 GT 512MB and Radeon HD 3870 512MB cards still offer serious value at their respective price points. Another very interesting option is the GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB, which has dropped almost $100, to sit just above the $200 mark.
