Pricing not availableNvidia GeForce 8800 GTX (768MB)
Reviewed on November 8, 2006 This one is easy. Nvidia's GeForce 8800 GTX not only beats ATI to market with its next-gen 3D graphics hardware, it also eliminates ATI's image-quality advantage in current-generation titles. Throw in its sheer horsepower, and Nvidia gives the high-end enthusiast every reason to make this purchase. -
Pricing not availableNvidia GeForce GTX 295
Reviewed on January 16, 2009 Nvidia's GeForce GTX 295 is the single fastest 3D card on the market, and for a relatively aggressive price. Added bonuses like power efficiency and PhysX support sweeten the deal, but even without those extra benefits, we'd still recommend this card for its processing power and comparative value. -
Pricing not availableATI Radeon HD 3850
Reviewed on November 21, 2007 Despite the usual caveats of an ever-fluctuating 3D market, for the moment, at least, ATI's new Radeon HD 3850 graphics card delivers the best bang-for-the buck in PC graphics hardware. Until now we haven't had an acceptable sub-$200 option for PC gaming this year. Thanks to AMD, now we do. -
Pricing not availableNvidia GeForce 8800 GTS (640MB)
Reviewed on November 9, 2006 The step-down GeForce 8800 GTS is no slouch compared to Nvidia's flagship GTX card. Like its powerful big brother, the slightly more affordable GTS supplies top-notch performance and sweeping architectural changes that provide a solid foundation today for the OSs and games of tomorrow. -
Check prices$244.99Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 X2 (PCI-e 2.0, 2GB, GDDR3)
Reviewed on February 6, 2009 Even if it's a relative power hog, the Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 X2 brings so much speed and utility to the table it's hard for us to recommend another midrange 3D card. Only the particularly power conscious or those who play games with known multichip scaling issues should look elsewhere. -
Check prices$199.99-$231.99EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked
Reviewed on February 6, 2009 We don't think most gamers shopping for a midrange 3D card are looking for power efficiency, but for those conscientious few, the EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked is the card for you. Otherwise, you can get noticeably more performance and capability from an only slightly more expensive ATI card. -
Check prices$129.00ATI Radeon X300 SE (128MB HyperMemory)
Reviewed on June 9, 2005 ATI's Radeon X300 SE will satisfy users looking for a good basic 2D video card, but spend a few more bucks if 3D is important to you. -
Check prices$119.99ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT
Reviewed on August 2, 2007 If you're looking to build a home theater PC, we recommend ATI's Radeon HD 2600 XT as the midrange card to use, thanks to its nearly perfect HD video image and its no-fuss installation. But for 3D gaming, you'd be much better off looking for a good deal on a faster, older graphics card. -
Pricing not availableEVGA e-GeForce 8600 GTS (PCI-e, 256MB)
Reviewed on April 17, 2007 If you care more about HD movie watching than gaming and you need a new video card for the task today, we recommend a 3D card like this EVGA with Nvidia's newest mainstream graphics chip. Gamers can get more performance value from Nvidia's higher-end 8800 cards, but for anyone, it would be a good idea to wait to see what's new from ATI in just a few short weeks. -
Pricing not availableNvidia GeForce 7950 GX2
Reviewed on June 5, 2006 Nvidia's GeForce 7950 GX2 should have been an Editors' Choice contender. It brings two graphics processors to a single slot, costs half as much as similarly fast setups, and lays the groundwork for do-it-yourself Quad SLI. But the gap between this chip generation and the next is too close, so we recommend you pass on the 7950 GX2. -
Pricing not availableeVGA e-GeForce 9800GTX+ Superclocked - graphics adapter - GF 9800 GTX+ - 512 MB
Reviewed on January 30, 2009 EVGA's GeForce GTX 9800+ Superclocked edition has basically the same price-performance benefit as its Radeon HD 4850-based graphics card competition. With identical bang-for-the-buck, you'll like this card if you demand power efficiency, but you should turn to ATI's card if your PC has limited upgrade room. -
Pricing not availableXFX GeForce 8800 GTS (320MB, GDDR3)
Reviewed on February 12, 2007 No other 3D graphics card comes close to this bang for the buck, making the 320MB XFX GeForce 8800 GTS mostly an easy decision if you need a midrange upgrade. Nvidia still has to polish off its Vista software, and the sooner-or-later arrival of competing cards muddies the waters a bit, but if you need a midprice graphics card today, this should be your pick. -
Pricing not availableATI Radeon X850 XT Platinum Edition
Reviewed on April 15, 2005 ATI's Radeon X850 XT Platinum Edition is one of the fastest solutions out there that doesn't require to you to buy a pair of video cards. -
Pricing not availableATI Radeon X1950 XTX (512MB)
Reviewed on August 23, 2006 ATI's Radeon X1950 XTX is the fastest single-chip 3D card that you can buy. Unfortunately, with Windows Vista and its accompanying gaming technology, it's going to become obsolete in just five months. ATI adjusted the price of the Radeon X1950 XTX accordingly, but at $450, it's still not an insignificant purchase. We recommend it only if money is no object. -
Pricing not availableATI Radeon X1900 XTX (512MB)
Reviewed on April 28, 2006 If you're looking for a single high-end 3D card, the Radeon X1900 XTX shows a lot of promise. If you have dreams of upgrading to a dual-card configuration, stay far, far away. -
Pricing not availableeVGA e-GeForce 6800 GT
Reviewed on August 6, 2004 Thanks to Nvidia's second fastest graphics chip, the eVGA e-GeForce 6800 GT represents the current price-vs.-performance sweet spot for 3D gaming. -
Pricing not availableAsus EAHD4870X2
Reviewed on January 22, 2009 Asus's EAHD4870X2 falls just short of the speed and relative value offered by Nvidia's competing high-end 3D card. Unless you have certain very specific needs, you'll get better performance and better power efficiency with Nvidia. -
Pricing not availableATI Radeon HD 3870 X2
Reviewed on January 30, 2008 The 3D graphics card market changes too rapidly for us to get bullish about a card with premature driver software. The ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 shows promise, even outscoring Nvidia on many PC games, but we would still wait until AMD works out the kinks before handing over your $450. -
Pricing not availablePNY Verto GeForce 6800 Ultra
Reviewed on August 6, 2004 A superspeedy performer, the PNY Verto GeForce 6800 Ultra's cumbersome aspect and its power demands make ATI's high-end card a more convenient choice.
