June Video Card Price Guide - Page 2By SharkyExtreme.com Staff June 27, 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 similar trends to the ATI chart, but without the huge up and down shifts we saw on a few of the Radeon cards. There were thirteen price cuts that reached double-digits, one more than the ATI list, but the largest cut was a $38 price drop on the MSI GeForce 7900 GT 256MB. Because of this, the aggregate chart drop fell way back from the $500+ we found in May, to reach only $231 for June. There was only a single price increase that hit double digits, as the EVGA GeForce 7800 GTX 256MB jumped by $38. Overall, it was a good month for NVIDIA buyers, but with an absence of crazy deals like the ATI All-in-Wonder Radeon X1900 256MB.
