June 2004 Video Card Price Guide - Page 2By SharkyExtreme.com Staff June 30, 2004The 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 5700/5900/5950 Ultra and GeForce 6800 levels. NVIDIA gets the same overall coverage as the ATI list, starting at the GeForce4 MX440-8X and ending with the GeForce 6800 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 lineup is a bit more sedate than its ATI counterpart, but there are still price cuts hitting a few select areas. One of these is definitely the GeForce FX 5950 Ultra range, where the Gigabyte and XFX cards dropped $32 and $24 respectively. This is likely due to the wave of GeForce 6800, 6800 GT and 6800 Ultra cards that are coming down the pike, and NVIDIA vendors are looking to clear some room at the top end. This is actually getting pretty tight at the top-end, where some GeForce 6800 128-MB boards have dipped below $300, while 6800 GT cards are moving below the $400 mark. * Please note that the GeForce 6800-based video cards are still in extremely short supply, with some models on back-order, or even on pre-order and waiting for the official vendor release.
