July 2004 Video Card Price Guide - Page 2By SharkyExtreme.com Staff July 31, 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 256MB 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 chart is a lot more stable than the ATI side, and mixed in with the stable prices and small price cuts were a few unexpected increases. It was really a bit of everything in this month's NVIDIA price chart, with the best news coming from the GeForce 6800 128MB cards. These dropped nicely, while the GeForce 6800 GT models actually rose in price, and the higher-end GeForce 6800 Ultra models remained steady. There have not been the anticipated cuts to the GeForce FX lines, although this will likely occur once GeForce 6800-based cards go mass market. * 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.
