@ 2008/02/29It is a good time to be in the market for a video card -- especially if you want to spend around $200. Both ATI's HD 3870 and NVIDIA's 8800 GT have been around for a few months now, and prices have reached new lows.
Even just six months ago, getting the level of performance that can be had with a HD 3870 or a 8800 GT for around $200 would have been hard to believe. And just last week, things got even more interesting with the introduction of NVIDIA's first 9th series card, the 9600 GT. Currently selling for around $180, the 9600 GT proved to be speedy card, despite having only 64 stream processors.
