July Video Card Price Guide - Page 2By SharkyExtreme.com Staff July 7, 2005The 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 6 Series lines receive a greater number of listings, and especially as we move to the popular GeForce FX/PCX and GeForce 6600 and 6800 levels. NVIDIA gets the same overall coverage as the ATI list, starting at the GeForce4 MX4000-8X and ending with the GeForce 7800 GTX 256MB and GeForce 6800 Ultra 512-MB cards. But just like ATI, there are some NVIDIA cards that are becoming increasingly hard to locate, and we continue to adjust our list accordingly. If it was a great month for ATI video card buyers, then the NVIDIA fans were pleased as well. The overall aggregate price drop was still slightly in ATI's favor, but even so, the NVIDIA chart posted a total of around $440. There were also significant price cuts to report, including two $100+ drops hitting the BFG GeForce 6800 Ultra OC 512MB PCIe (-$155) and XFX GeForce 6800 Ultra 512MB PCIe (-$125). Once we move past the largest price cuts, it was pretty well business as usual, with the odd double-digit drop, and virtually no price increases of note. We did introduce new NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX 256MB listings this month, and these likely contributed to the huge price cuts to some GeForce 6800 Ultra cards.
