The reader should note that 3dfx's acquisition by NVIDIA will result in them not being able to provide support for their cards, so purchase a Voodoo3/4/5 card at your own risk. This week we see some price fluctuations from the 3dfx segment. The defunct Voodoo5 5500 AGP fell $16 and can now be found for $103. It's PCI brother rose, surprisingly, $75. It seems like PCI Voodoo cards a becoming scarce on the market. The Voodoo3 3500 remains a good deal at $64 for those looking for basic 3D acceleration and TV tuner capabilities on their PC.
ATI's lineup of cards showed little change again this week. The Radeon DDR 64MB card fell $9, putting it at $150. The Radeon VE fell to $70 this week as well. This is a great card for for dual monitor support. Those looking for a cheap, fast Radeon should look at the Radeon 32MB DDR LE. Please read our recent review of this card for information on how to unlock it's hidden potential.
In the NVIDIA segment we see little change in the GeForce 3 market. The ULTRA fell $9 and can now be found for $234. The big surprise this week comes from the GeForce2 PRO 64MB, which can now be found for $142. That's a $36 price drop from the last guide. We recommend the Pro over the standard GTS because it uses faster 5.5ns DDR memory which alleviates some of the memory bandwidth constraints found in 6ns cards.
The KYRO II showed no price change this week. This card offers performance similar to the GeForce2 GTS but at a cheaper price. The KYRO II is a unique card because it uses a tile based rendering engine. Check out our KYRO II review for more info.
The Matrox line of cards saw minimal changes in price this week. Those looking for excellent dual display capability may wish to purchase the Matrox G450 card as it has proven itself well in this category. For more information check out our Dual Display Comparison.
