November 2005 Video Card Price Guide - Page 2By SharkyExtreme.com Staff November 4, 2005The NVIDIA-based video card market is a bit more splintered than the ATI one, and we still have the GeForce FX and GeForce PCX cards available at street level, and really competing at the entry-level and mainstream sectors. Naturally, the GeForce 6 & 7 Series lines receive a greater number of listings, and especially as we move to the popular GeForce 6600/6800 and GeForce 7800 GT/GTX 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. The NVIDIA list also shows a few notable price increases and decreases, but for the most part, overall prices remained static through the month of October. This also echoed in the overall chart movement, which resulted in a meager $6 total decrease. The story goes a bit deeper, as there are four double-digit cuts in the chart, including a $45 drop to the price of the NVIDIA GeForce 6800GT 256MB. What really hurt the total chart shift is the whopping $98 price spike to the NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra 256MB PCIe card, which seems to be experiencing a strange price resurgence, and is moving in the opposite direction to the AGP version. But with the GeForce 7800 GT and GTX boards selling for less, this anomaly is virtually inconsequential to the NVIDIA high-end market.
