It's a great time for those in the market for a new video card, in just a few short months we've seen the debuts of over half a dozen different boards. At the high-end, high-priced segment Benchmark Reviews has showcased such great offerings from NVIDIA as the GTX 280 and ATI/AMD's HD 4870x2, while at the other end of the spectrum the mainstream budget cards releases are almost too plentiful and mediocre to mention. Though the high-end may grab the headlines, where the real interest lies, for buyer and manufacturers alike, is in the highly profitable mid-range market. Recently either NVIDIA has been releasing a competitor to an ATI/AMD card or vice versa intended to saturate every price point at this level. These seemingly constant releases from both titans also has the unintentional side effect of spurring drastic price cuts, for NVIDIA as much as 40% in some cases, resulting in never before seen price to performance in this segment.
