May Video Card Price Guide - Page 2By SharkyExtreme.com Staff May 26, 2006The NVIDIA-based video card market is a bit more splintered than the ATI one, and we still have the older GeForce cards available at street level, and competing at the entry-level and mainstream sectors. Naturally, the GeForce 6 and 7 Series lines receive a greater number of listings, and especially as we move to the popular GeForce 6600/6800 and GeForce 7600/7800/7900 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 7900 GTX 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 graphics card list showed a very similar total chart drop, and checked in with an aggregate of -$521 so far in May. The fourteen double-digit price drops outpaced ATI by one, but these were far more consistent than on the ATI chart, with the largest being only a $65 cut to the price of the PNY GeForce 7900 GT 256MB card. Other significant price drops included the MSI GeForce 7900 GTX 512MB (-$58), Gigabyte GeForce 7900 GTX 512MB (-$52), and BFG GeForce 7900 GT 256MB (-$42). It is easy to see where the majority of NVIDIA pricing activity took place this month, as the top seven price drops were all for GeForce 7900-based cards. There was a bit of upward movement, but only one card hit double digits.
