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 was definitely some price cutting in this price range, and a few new models, like the Radeon HD 4850 X2 1GB, GeForce GTX 285 1GB and GeForce GTX 295 1792MB, did join the party. The GeForce GTX 285 now takes over the single-GPU performance lead, as does the GeForce GTX 295 in the dual-GPU sector, but the Radeon HD 4870 1GB and Radeon HD 4870 X2 2GB cards may be slightly better values.
