The Best Value Computer Video Cards as of March 2010

Excellent article over at Toms Hardware that rates a number of graphics cards, specifically for gamers, and even more specifically for gamers on different tiers of budget…

Here’s a synopsis of their anaylsis, you can read the full story here

Some great AMD launches last month, including some new products targeted towards different types of users:

• Radeon HD 5450
• Radeon HD 5570
• Radeon HD 5830

Of these 3 video cards, only the 5570 and 5830 serve a gamers purpose, although from a gaming standpoint only the Radeon HD 5830 stands out.

The price is around $250 (street price may be lower – see graphics card pricing)

On other Radeon cards, Tom’s offers some great advice on the mid-range Radeo HD 5850 price to performance ratio – “with no real competition, the Radeon HD 5850 is actually getting even more expensive. It’s now around $320, when only a month ago some of these cards were selling for $290. The ultra high-end Radeon HD 5970 has even skyrocketed to $700.” Sounds like we should give that one a miss!!
