The 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 GeForce FX and ending with the powerful GeForce 7900 GTX 512MB and GeForce 7950 GX2 1GB 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 news wasn't as good on the NVIDIA side of things, but there was still quite a bit of price activity. Last month we even found a slight chart increase, but August changes that and now posts a very impressive aggregate drop of $351. There was a matching nine price cuts that reached double digits, and just like in the ATI chart, there was also a price drop that exceeded $100, as the EVGA GeForce 7800 GTX 256MB fell by $127. The intriguing Gigabyte DUAL GeForce 6600 card shed $70 off it price tag, and now sells for $99, making it an interesting entry-level option. Other noticeable price cuts included the EVGA GeForce 7950 GX2 1GB (-$46), GeForce 6800 GS 256MB (-$35), and Gigabyte GeForce 7900 GTX 512MB (-$23) cards.
