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. March did a favor to ATI in terms of overall price movement, but NVIDIA was not far behind. This is also borne out in the price cut chart, as ATI took six of the top ten positions, which is not that much of an advantage. The actual cards receiving the price drops also differed from one company to the other, as ATI's newer X1800 and X1900-based cards got the deepest cuts, while it was the GeForce 6800 GT and Ultra boards that received the most attention on the NVIDIA side.
