With the price of the X1650 XT and 7600 GT touching the $100 price point, the 7600 GS is too expensive to be recommended anymore. Instead, the 7300 GT is a low-price alternative for those who want to do as much gaming as they can for as little money as possible. Priced as low as $60, the 7300 GT is a good fit for that job.

Prices of the new midrange DirectX 10 graphics cards have dropped like a rock in the past month. The 8600 GT was a terrible buy at $150, but now, as it approaches the $100 price point it's much more attractive. The 8600 GT will slightly beat the old 7600 GT and X1650 XT in raw performance in the $115 price category. In addition to speed, the 8600 GT has the added bonus of being DirectX 10 compatible, as well as being a good overclocker.
NOTE: beware of slower DDR2 versions of the 8600 GT! The GDDR3 versions are the recommended cards. Also note that the upcoming Radeon 2600 XT will also be a good alternative to the 8600 GT if it's released at the same price.
