October Video Card Price Guide - Page 4

Mainstream Video Cards

Our 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. Both of these factors had a serious impact, as the new Radeon HD 4830 512MB is a real contender at the $130 price level, and the Radeon HD 4800 series has pressured the Radeon HD 3870 X2 1GB into a $45 price drop down to $195. We really like these two in their respective classes, but some nice options at the $140-$160 range include the GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB and Radeon HD 4850 512MB video cards.
