The NVIDIA-based video card market is a bit more splintered than the ATI one, and we still have the GeForce FX and GeForce4 cards available at street level, and really competing at the entry-level and mainstream sectors. Naturally, the GeForce FX line receives a greater number of listings, and especially as we move to the very popular GeForce FX 5700 Ultra and 5900/5950 Ultra levels. NVIDIA gets the same overall coverage as the ATI list, starting at the GeForce4 MX440-8X and ending with the GeForce FX 5950 Ultra 256-MB cards. But just like ATI, there are some NVIDIA cards that are becoming increasingly hard to locate, and we've adjusted our list accordingly.
The NVIDIA side is a lot more stable than the ATI list, and the majority of the cards moved only a few dollars up or down. Many of the price cuts were due to "blowout deals" at some of the major vendors, with NewEgg's sale prices really catching our eye this month. The ASUS GeForce FX 5950 Ultra 256MB continued to drop, and looks like a real deal for the high-end crowd. There are also a few GeForce 6800 GT and 6800 Ultra pre-order listings, and as opposed to the ATI Radeon X800 Pro, there looks to be an adequate price gap between the 5900/5950 and the 6800-based cards that will debut in June.
