March Video Card Price Guide - Page 2By SharkyExtreme.com Staff March 24, 2006The 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 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 may not show the same level of downward movement, but an aggregate chart drop of $352 is certainly nothing to sneeze at. There were only eight double-digit cuts for March, but these included a few whoppers like the NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra 256MB PCIe dropping $157 and the Gigabyte DUAL GeForce 6600GT falling by $83. Unlike the ATI chart, the NVIDIA cards showing the largest price decreases were the last-generation models, most specifically the GeForce 6800-based cards. Part of the reason for the lower overall drop was the fact that we added a ton of new NVIDIA cards to the chart this month, fourteen to be exact, and these were mostly the new GeForce 7600 and 7900 models, with a few GeForce 7800 GS cards tossed in for good measure.
