NVIDIA GPUs - Price Guides October 2003: Video Cards
The good thing about NVIDIA right now is at least their branding is not overly confusing. Product lines are a lot like menus at a restaurant. Too many choices can be a bad thing. If you’re a gamer and insist on NVIDIA, right now you only have four choices (ATI has about 10). NVIDIA’s new GeForce FX 5700 and 5950 cards will increase the product line, but we naturally do not know and cannot say when to expect those creatures.
At least the good news is that the GeForceFX 5900 and 5600 prices are coming down considerably. The 5900 non-Ultra cards are priced very aggressively with the Radeon 9800 Pro series, but at least in our benchmarks the 9800 Pro still pulls ahead.
We would like to see the 5600 Ultra come down in price to be a little more aggressive with the Radeon 9600 Pro series, but we should expect that with the advent of the two new GeForceFX cards from NVIDIA. Unfortunately, the Radeon 9600 Pro’s are priced even cheaper than the GeForceFX 5600s, which really puts NVIDIA at a price disadvantage.
