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. This month, the Top 10 price cuts are evenly distributed between ATI and NVIDIA, and there is even some nice balance in terms of the overall dollar movement. The largest cut hit the BFG GeForce 6800 Ultra OC 512MB card to the tune of -$205, while two ATI X800 and X850-based cards also posted cuts in excess of $100. On the other side of the fence, ATI posted a greater number of price increases, and held four of the bottom five jumps, including a $51 jump to the Radeon X850 XT Platinum 256MB AGP.
