ATI and NVIDIA Video Cards: Price Changes

The following chart takes all of the tracked ATI and NVIDIA cards, and incorporates it into one monster price list, that is then sorted by the monthly price change. This gives us a slightly different view than in previous ATI and NVIDIA lists, as it identifies the month's biggest movers and shakers, and can really help identify the areas to take advantage of. When used with the other price charts, this list can add another dimension to the monthly video card prices, but keep in mind that the largest cuts may not translate into the best overall deal.

The overall price change list confirms our findings in the individual charts and commentary, and we again see a few of the highlighted cards featured prominently in the "movers and shakers" area. Three of the top five price cuts are for ATI models, while the top ten is evenly divided between NVIDIA and ATI cards. The price increases are a far different story, and here we find NVIDIA holding the bag and the GeForce 6800 GT and Ultra AGP boards holding the bottom three rungs. This is definitely not good news for current AGP platform owners who might be looking to upgrade, especially as we've likely seen the end of new AGP models.
