December Video Card Price Guide - Page 5

High-End Video Cards

If the entry-level and mainstream video cards cover us to the $200 price mark, then the high-end graphics card market takes us home. There is really no price limit here, and as long as it's a desktop 3D gaming card, then we'll do our best to fit it in. This segment starts off with the high-end of the Radeon HD 4800 series, including the ATI Radeon HD 4850, 4870 and 4870 X2 models, along with the GeForce 9800 GX2 1GB and the latest GeForce GTX 260/260-216 896MB and GeForce GTX 280 1GB cards from NVIDIA.

The high-end video card chart is usually the most active of the bunch, where pricing shoot-outs are always taking place between ATI and NVIDIA video cards, and new hotrod cards are continually joining the party. There were a few significant price drops in the list, but the Radeon HD 4850 2GB version was the only new high-end entrant for December. We don't see any real change in the card rankings, and the Radeon HD 4870 512MB and GeForce GTX 280 1GB remain the top single-GPU options, while the dual-GPU Radeon HD 4870 X2 2GB is the fastest card available.
