November Video Card Price Guide - Page 4

By SharkyExtreme.com Staff November 30, 2008

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 new entries mixed in with some high-end cards falling below the $200 mark and entering the chart. These two factors didn't account for much this month, as only the Radeon HD 4670 1GB and GeForce 9800 GTX+ 1GB cards made their chart debuts, while the Radeon HD 4850 1GB shed $22 to squeeze below $200. Otherwise, it was business as usual, and the GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB and Radeon HD 4850 512MB video cards remain the top-rated values, although the GeForce 9800 GTX+ 1GB is a definite performance option.
