December Video Card Price Guide - Page 3By SharkyExtreme.com Staff January 2, 2009We 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 number of entry-level video cards continues to grow, and we welcomed a few members in this month. These came from both camps, with some entering for the first time and others dropping below that magic $100 barrier. Cards in the latter group included the GeForce 9600 GSO 512MB, GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB and Radeon HD 4670 1GB, while the GeForce 7200 GS 512MB was the most prominent new entry. Due to the numbers, there is a lot of potential value at the sub-$100 price range, and we like the GeForce 9600 GSO 512MB/768MB and Radeon HD 4650 512MB cards, but the ATI Radeon HD 4670 512MB and 1GB models are in a different price-performance class.
