September Video Card Price Guide - Page 2By SharkyExtreme.com Staff September 29, 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 and GeForce Series 6 lines receive 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 price chart follows the same basic pattern as the ATI list, but the cuts are a bit smaller and more consistent. Of course, not all was wine and roses, and while last month we saw the GeForce FX 5950 Ultra boards dropping fast, this time we find supplies much lower and prices significantly higher. This extended to the GeForce FX 5900 Ultra as well, and the fire sale on high-end GeForce FX cards seems to be over. This month we've also introduced a range of GeForce 6600-based cards to the price list, including the GeForce 6600 128MB and 256MB models, as well as the higher-end GeForce 6600 GT 128MB. At the high-end there are a few price cuts to report, as well as a couple of new GeForce 6800 Ultra boards we're tracking. * Please note that some of the GeForce 6800-based video cards are still in short supply, with some models on back-order, or even on pre-order and waiting for the individual vendor release.
