September Video Card Price Guide - Page 3

Entry-Level Video Cards

We designate the entry-level graphics market as any video card that has a street price of under $100. These cards are targeted at value-system buyers, and we usually don't find the high-performance hardware at this price range. Of course, that doesn't mean that gaming performance or features have to suffer, and only having a C-Note in your pocket is no reason to start looking in the bargain bins or scouring Ebay for refurbs.

The sheer number of entry-level video cards is amazing, and this month the membership was augmented by both new entrants and some $100+ cards falling in price and joining us from the mainstream lounge. Our most important new members were obviously the just-released Radeon HD 4650 and HD 4670 512MB video cards, while the GeForce 9600 GT 512MB, Radeon HD 3850 512MB, GeForce 8600 GTS 512MB, and GeForce 9600 GSO 512MB graphics cards represent some of the existing models that dropped below the $100 barrier. In terms of overall price-performance, we really like the ATI Radeon HD 4670 512MB, which is really in a price-performance class by itself.
