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. April favored NVIDIA slightly, as six of the top ten price drops were for NVIDIA-based graphics cards. ATI cards did display the two deepest price cuts of the month, and as in our previous analysis, created a virtual tie between the two companies. In terms of overall trends, the high-end cards received the lion's share of the price decreases, with the ATI Radeon X1800 and NVIDIA GeForce 7900 boards taking up half of the top spots.
